The Rebel Alliance sends Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron to the Mrisst Academy to bid on a powerful new war technology, a miniaturized cloaking device. But Wedge Antilles wasn't counting on facing an Imperial couter-bidder, much less Loka Hask, the one-time space pirate responsible for the deaths of his parents! The bargaining table remains neutral ground, but as Rogue Squadron is framed for cimes they didn't commit, they discover that an active Academy campus can be a hotbed of intrigue, sabotage, murder . . . and rebellion!
