56m | Apr 4, 2024

The galaxy is once again plunged into turmoil as dark forces tighten their grip. In "Identity Crisis", the ominous specter of the Empire's past rears its head in the form of a sinister project aimed at children with high M-counts, echoing the days of Jedi hunting. Amidst this backdrop, the return of the notorious Cad Bane adds another layer of tension as he procures a young child for nefarious experiments. 

Meanwhile, Emerie, with a haunting past of her own, finds herself torn between loyalty to the Empire and her burgeoning empathy for the innocent victims of its atrocities.

As the story unfolds in "Point of No Return", the hunt for Omega intensifies, leading to a devastating confrontation in the peaceful town of Pabu. Chaos erupts as bombs detonate, homes burn, and the Imperials descend upon the unsuspecting populace. Amidst the chaos, Omega grapples with guilt over the destruction wrought upon Pabu, while the larger mission to outmaneuver the Empire takes center stage. In a daring gambit, Omega surrenders herself in a bid to plant a crucial tracking device, while Crosshair, amidst a storm of blaster fire, struggles to carry out the plan.

Through pulse-pounding action and heartfelt moments of introspection, these episodes explore themes of identity, sacrifice, and the eternal struggle between tyranny and freedom in a galaxy on the brink. As the stakes escalate and loyalties are tested, the fate of Omega and her companions hangs in the balance, with the shadow of the Empire looming ever larger on the horizon.
