Following the events of Codebreaker #1, Poe Dameron and BB-8 continue their undercover mission on a remote First Order base in the Outer Rim. Their objective: retrieve a powerful codebreaking device—stolen Resistance tech now held by the enemy—that can decipher Resistance transmissions, threatening the entire network of allied cells.
The plan, as always with Poe, seems simple: sneak in, grab the device, sneak out.
But things immediately go sideways.
- Poe’s disguise is compromised within minutes of arriving.
- Alarms sound. Troopers swarm. The base descends into chaos.
As Poe and BB-8 improvise their escape, they discover a surprise: Cheka, a sarcastic, imprisoned young Muun tech prodigy, who claims to know everything about the codebreaker—and even insists he can disable it… but only if Poe breaks him out.
Reluctantly, Poe agrees.
- The duo battles through corridors, dodging stormtroopers and hijacking systems with BB-8’s help.
- Tension builds as the First Order tightens its lockdown protocols.
- Meanwhile, high-ranking First Order officers bicker over protocol, giving insight into the rigid, paranoid command structure.
Through wild shootouts, near-misses, and a clever use of ventilation shafts, Poe, BB-8, and Cheka manage to reach the vault—but the device is gone.
A final stinger reveals it has already been moved offworld… and the Resistance may have a traitor.
