The reconstituted Phoenix Squadron attempts to run an Imperial blockade to take much-needed food and supplies to an isolated Rebel enclave, only to be forced into retreat. Hera is sent to follow up on rumors of a legendary engineer who has built a fighter better and faster than anything in the Imperial fleet. The rumor turns out to be true, but the prototype B-Wing still needs work…and the work to bring it up to speed must be done fast, because the blockaded Rebel planet still needs help.
