Description
The bounty hunters seen in Republic Under Seige #2 are back and causing havoc and mayhem while Leia, Luke and Mon Mothma realize Moff Adelhard is no mere annoyance but a threat.

But with all sides turning on him in The Battle of Jakku -- Republic Under Seige #3 (of 4), what can Adelhard do and to whom can he turn?
