Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories: The Bad Batch—Rogue Agents is a four-issue canon comic miniseries published by Dark Horse Comics (in partnership with Lucasfilm Publishing). It is a direct sequel to Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories: The Bad Batch—Ghost Agents and continues the adventures of Clone Force 99 during the Clone Wars.
Premise
During the Clone Wars, Clone Force 99 (Hunter, Wrecker, Crosshair, and Tech) is sent to track down a Separatist scientist, Dr. Ergin Lazlo, and his dangerous invention before it falls into the wrong hands. Upon arriving at his abandoned laboratory, they discover they are not the only ones hunting him. The story involves a galaxy-spanning chase and introduces rival “rogue” clones (including Sergeant Cole and his squad: Hank, Rice, and Charger), who have defected and are working with the Separatists. Bounty hunter Aurra Sing also returns as an antagonist. The series ends with a setup involving a call from Anakin Skywalker.
It is set after the Battle of Kamino (post-21 BBY) but still during the Clone Wars (before 19 BBY).
