Summary from the Star Wars Zine Bibliography:
Wedge Antilles and his friends are seeking news of relatives and comrades who were captured almost nine years before aboard the Tantive IV. Wedge is hunting for his brother Vance. On an Outer Rim world he finds it terrorized by a group of ruthless mercenaries, seemingly intent on disrupting the fledgling democratic process there.

It has been three years since the Battle of Endor was fought and won by the Rebel Alliance. Now, with the Empire dispossessed from its traditional strongholds, the warriors who survived the Civil War are trying to rebuild their lives. But some questions remain stubbornly unanswered, and so Wedge Antilles and his friends find themselves on a journey to the penal-colonies of Kessel, seeking news of relatives and comrades who were captured almost nine years before aboard the Tantive IV.
Their search is not entirely fruitless, but Wedge's primary objective, to learn the fate of his older brother Vance, remains a mystery which seemingly cannot be resolved. Vance has been sold off- world to an unknown buyer, and there the trail has seemingly come to an end.
But their search unexpectedly resumes following a series of apparently unconnected events, for when -i Wedge is later sent out as an Alliance representative on a fact-finding mission to an Outer Rim world, he finds it terrorised by a group of ruthless mercenaries, seemingly intent on disrupting the fledgling democratic process there. The operating methods used and the targets chosen mirror closely in some cases the activities of the Rebel Alliance in its early days as a terrorist organisation, suggesting to Wedge that someone in the command chain was once associated with his own forces. But Wedge has no way of knowing just how significant this knowledge is, both to his friends and to himself, until he is captured as a direct result of actions taken by a man who might have reason enough to begrudge him his freedom...
