About the book: year / A long time ago in a distant Galaxy...Adumar is an anomalous planet that was inhabited during the early years of the Old Republic unknown colonists and has since been isolated. But now it has been discovered. To annex the planet into the New Republic, a team of diplomats consisting of the best pilots of the Rogue Squadron, led by Wedge Antilles, is sent for the simple reason that the Adumarians love pilots. Wedge assumes that somehow he will be able to win over and bring the planet Adumar into the New Republic. Republic, but everything is not as simple as it seems. Firstly, the Empire's best pilot, General Terr Pannir, and three of his best pilots are here too. Secondly, on Adumar there are two different societies. Thirdly, the part that Wedge is establishing a dialogue with - the Kartans - do not accept anything other than killing each other for competitive purposes and they expect Wedge to join them. Fourth, a woman named Yella Vessiri, whom Wedge meets, is an operative on the planet for the New Republic Bureau of Investigation, and has been here for the past six months. This also does not help Wage, who would like to become more than just a friend to her. Wage must, one way or another, make his way through the bizarre culture of Adumar, without insulting other people's traditions and without overstepping the bounds of morality, bring Adumar to the New Republic and win a new love!
