Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life by Carmine Infantino’s dynamic art, this pivotal chapter unfolds with tension and discovery as the heroes unravel the creature’s artificial nature—its control tied to hidden consoles and its vulnerability to the Force.

Luke, Leia, and the droids crash-land on the icy world of Akuria Two, where they must survive the frozen wilderness and evade TIE Fighters while searching for the local Rebel cell.
In the frozen reaches of a distant planet, Luke and Leia face off against the imposing War Sled, its driver claiming to be the long-lost Rebel leader Colonel Odan—while R2-D2 uncovers a shocking truth about a downed TIE Fighter, and C-3PO and the astromech droid are taken captive by the mysterious, fur-clad Snow Stompers.
In this tense installment of *The Kingdom of Ice!*, Luke and Leia are led through the war-torn interior of the War Sled as the droids are taken to the true Colonel Odan—revealing the massive vessel was once his, before it fell into Imperial hands. The truth of its past begins to unravel, setting the stage for a confrontation that could shift the balance of power in the frozen wasteland.
Luke and Leia uncover a shocking betrayal when they realize their host is an Imperial officer in disguise. With Leia held captive, Luke is locked inside the War Sled and sent hurtling toward the ocean, while the real Colonel Odan readies a Snow Flyer for a daring rescue.

In "The Weapons Master [Part 1]," Leia’s unexpected skill in combat leaves Luke and the droids wondering how she learned to fight so well—especially given Alderaan’s long-standing ban on weapons. As the mission unfolds, she recalls the time when Giles Durane was hired to train her, while an Imperial agent named Emir secretly sent Torgas to eliminate her.
In "[The Weapons Master, Part 3] My Enemies Surround Me!", Leia finds herself hunted on Challon after Torgas finally strikes, eliminating Gimlet.

In "[World of Fire!, Part 5] Unholy Alliance!", Luke and Leia find themselves reluctantly allied with the enigmatic Grau as they navigate the ruins of a Rebel base, their uneasy truce tested when the planet's deadly automated defenses strike again.

In the scorched ruins beneath Alashan, Luke and his companions uncover an ancient, forgotten city—its towering spires silent, its corridors humming with long-dead technology. As a monstrous creature from above descends upon them, they’re forced into a desperate fight for survival, only to realize too late that their only escape has been sealed.
In the heart of a dying city, Leia and Luke race against time as a mysterious creature resurfaces, threatening to end their mission. With the city’s systems flickering back to life, Leia uncovers a hidden control center—just as Lopaki’s allegiance shatters, turning him into a sudden and dangerous adversary.
In "The Monster's Secret!", Leia and Luke confront a terrifying artificial creature on Alashan, uncovering its sinister origin tied to the control center’s consoles. As the beast's true nature as a living energy construct is revealed, Luke’s lightsaber becomes their only weapon—forcing a desperate fight for survival.
In "Rust Never Sleeps," R2 and C-3PO journey to Ronyards, a scrapyard teeming with discarded droids, hoping to rally the broken machines against the Empire’s looming mining operation. As the two navigate a landscape of rust and forgotten parts, they face the challenge of awakening purpose in those who’ve long given up.
In "null," Cyril joins his co-workers for their first summer picnic, only to find himself stranded when the car stalls—his own oil the unexpected fix. Left immobile as the group enjoys the day, Cyril’s quiet presence becomes an unlikely centerpiece of the outing.
