Set in the New Republic era (shortly after the fall of the Empire), Chaos Agent #1 finds Doctor Aphra navigating a galaxy that’s supposedly at peace—but chaos, of course, still finds her.
The Core Premise:
Doctor Aphra’s mysterious cybernetic tattoos suddenly stop working, stripping her of crucial technological abilities she’s relied on for survival. Without her usual tools and defenses, she’s forced into an uneasy alliance with Luke Skywalker.
The Mission:
- Aphra and Luke join forces to hunt down a powerful and rare artifact, rumored to be tied to ancient Force lore or dangerous forgotten tech (details still secret).
- The journey takes them across New Republic-controlled space, but enemies (and maybe old rivals) aren’t far behind.
The Tension:
- Aphra’s questionable morals and chaotic nature are a direct contrast to Luke’s ideals. Their partnership is rocky at best.
- Luke is cautious but curious about Aphra’s knowledge of the darker corners of the galaxy.
- Meanwhile, a new threat is hinted—possibly connected to the artifact or someone trying to control it.
Key Themes
- Trust and betrayal – classic for Aphra stories.
- Science meets mysticism – as Aphra’s tech fails and she’s dragged deeper into Force-related territory.
- Redemption vs. survival – can Aphra evolve, or is she still the same self-serving rogue?
Connections
- Set shortly after Return of the Jedi (~5 ABY), this storyline may tie into:
- New Republic world-building
- Post-Empire factions and warlords
- Luke’s quest for Jedi knowledge
- Aphra’s past dealings with Vader and ancient tech
