This six-issue mini-series continues the Crimson Empire saga, set approximately seven years after Return of the Jedi.

After the fall of Emperor Palpatine, the crumbling Empire is ruled by an Interim Council consisting of alien races from throughout the Empire. This Council of Blood is torn by political intrigue and warring factions, and to make matters worse, someone is killing off members one by one.

The Council suspects the culprit is Kir Kanos, last surviving member of the Emperor’s Imperial Guardsmen and a deadly killer who considers the Council to be traitors to the Empire. But Kanos is secretly engaged as a bounty hunter to the ruthless Grappa the Hutt. At the same time, beautiful and tough Mirith Sinn has pledged to work for Grappa if he will help her find Kanos.

Meanwhile, the mysterious Nom Anor lurks in the background. Is he the real culprit behind the slayings?
