After thousands of years, the republic is overthrown and the Galactic Empire is founded with Emperor Palpatine at its head. The Jedi are eradicated.
At a safe house on the planet Sullust, a squad of the 31st Regiment, Echo Company is briefed on a mission to attack an Imperial comms relay on the planet Jhako. After accosting a Sullustan who was snooping on the meeting, the squad departs the planet.
The squad from Echo Company 31st Regiment arrives on the planet Jhako. After a tough walk through the jungle and fighting off the local creatures, the squad reaches a village of the native Cholaa species. They are met by their contact Dr. Hessen Rahbin.
The squad from the 31st Regiment Echo Company moves to hit the Jhako Comms Relay Outpost. But before they can, they are betrayed by their guide ChikTa leading to the death of one of their team (K'laatu Ni'kto) and Dr. Hessen Rahbin. The squad launches their attack and overwhelms the facility, wiping out its complement of troops, and destroying both its satellite dish and AA gun. Once inside, the squad not only takes the deployment data and kidnaps the outpost commander (Lieutenant Shirfel Truwin), but they also rescue a rebel POW (Omardon Salron). Before leaving the planet, the group recruits the Cholaa to the rebel cause.
The Squad of the 31st Regiment, Echo Company departs Jhako with the planned destination of Dorumaa. As they leave Jhako's orbit they are hailed by an Imperial transport but manage to deceive them and continue on their way. During the trip, Shirfel Truwin is allowed out of the cargo hold. After two days the group arrives on the resort world of Dorumaa. The ship's identification is wiped and it is now called The Razorhawk.
On Dorumaa, the squad from Echo Company gains information from an old contact (Jun Jun Don) on the exact location of Special Agent Mardek Dellel: the Palatia Hub Resort. Soon after they arrive, the squad is personally introduced to a suspicious Dellel by Dorumaa Resort manager, Mar Daghreb. A night of deception, sabacc, clubbing, and murder ends with the squad in a blaster fight in the hotel lobby against Palatia security and then against Dellel himself. Dellel is captured and (after a battle with resort security at the docks) is taken off planet. Shirfel Truwin is left on Dorumaa.
After completing their mission on Dorumaa, the squad travels (with their prisoner, Mardek Dellel) to the base of the 31st Regiment, Echo Company on the forested planet of Ogem.
The squad is debriefed by Major Chaz Kovunaka. Kovunaka also reveals that there is a potential mole at 13th Division HQ. He assigns them a mission to uncover who it might be, using the transport of Mardek Dellel as cover.
Imperial forces attacked Farstone Base in an overwhelming assault. Though a brave defence was attempted, it would not hold. Rebels evacuated and destroyed the base to prevent it falling into enemy hands. During the battle, 13th Division XO General Ran Niall is killed.
The evacuating forces from the 13th Division establish a new HQ on the planet Udemaath. Its name: Resolute Base.
