About

An all-new, original Imperial campaign for X-Wing Alliance set in the Star Wars Legends timeline, taking place shortly after the events of Vision of the Future by Timothy Zahn. As a conscript from Parshoone, Janz Gaaland is thrust into the ranks of the battered Imperial Remnant, fighting not for conquest—but for survival—in a fractured, post-treaty galaxy. With the Empire weakened, divided, and surrounded, every battle matters. Every decision carries weight. And for the first time in years...the Empire may finally have a chance to rise again.
