Inside was a full page poster (measuring 14 3/4" by 21 1/2") and a full page devoted to upcoming releases called "News from the Stable" by Ivana Fanboy. The rear page also featured an ad and a column on the Dark Horse Web Site called "DHC Web Words" by Jay Pegg.

SYNOPSIS
On an asteroid in sector 759 of the Hoth System, the Republic Cruiser Radiant IX sends out an automated distress call that is answered by Obi-Wan Kenobi and his padawan Anakin Skywalker. They enter the ship, seeing a dead pilot, crew and the smell of ozone.

Opening the door where the smell is coming from, Anakin is blasted by a stun beam. Obi-Wan quickly ignites his saber and disarms the attacker. He grabs the attacker and demands to know who they are.
