Hidden Empire #5 is a mostly satisfying ending to Qi’ra’s story. She successfully outsmarts Palpatine and Vader and could’ve defeated them once and for all if it wasn’t for the Knights of Ren’s foolish actions. This is the best way of respecting Qi’ra’s formidable character and all her scheming without undermining or contradicting other canon stories. After WAR OF THE BOUNTY HUNTERS came CRIMSON REIGN… now in the midst of HIDDEN EMPIRE, Qi’ra has shaken the galactic landscape to its core! Star Wars: Crimson Reign was announced on August 18, 2021 and was revealed to be part two of a trilogy of comic series by Charles Soule that focus on the character of Qi'ra and the Crimson Dawn organization overall. The first part of the overall arc began during the Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters crossover event. The five-issue miniseries [4] was originally solicited to begin publication on November 3, 2021, [6] but was later delayed [7] to December 8.

But there seems to be a strange nebula protecting not only the Helioset system, but others as well. From what Inquisitor Jorel has discovered, the inhabitants of that planet have already given names to some of those stars, such as Alpha Centauri, Sirius, Vega and others. They call their own planet either Earth or Terra. There are many variations of the name. She also noticed that that region of the sector was similar to ours.."

STAR WARS: DOCTOR APHRA 20 on Penguin Random House Comics (archived from the original on April 22, 2022) The Knights of Ren landed on the Amaxine Station in time for their rude awakening. They learn a valuable lesson. Palpatine is merciless. With a ferocious display of force lighting, he subdues the entire group with minimal effort needed. His parting words to them were about their future as his servants. Qi'ra's planning to lure in Vader and the Emperor with rumors of this false Sith—so she can trap them with the Fermata Cage. If that fails? With the Spark Eternal's help, she'll kill whoever's left standing." ―Kho Phon Farrus on Qi'ra's plans for the Fermata Cage [10] The final chapter in the unofficial Qi’ra trilogy is finally here. Charles Soule’s Hidden Empire #1 graced comic book shelves this week, and I’m happy to report that there’s hope. Star Wars: Hidden Empire is the third and last part of a trilogy that began with Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters and Star Wars: Crimson Reign. It’s time for writer Charles Soule and artist Steven Cummings to give us a conclusion to this story focused on Qi’ra and the criminal organization Crimson Dawn.

Star Wars: Hidden Empire Reading Order

In the real world, a fermata is a musical direction to hold a note longer than its usual length, and a Faraday cage is an enclosure to shield objects from electromagnetic fields. You'd think she'd be pretty pleased that the Empire had finally fallen, but perhaps it only brought into focus the number of people she lost along the way – and how different it all could have been if her original plan had worked. The Qi’ra trilogy is over but the Star Wars Canon Universe continues to expand! Soon, a new crossover will tie again into the Star Wars: Doctor Aphra series, Star Wars: Darth Vader series, Star Wars: Bounty Hunters series, and the main Star Wars run… The mysterious syndicate CRIMSON DAWN and its leader LADY QI’RA have become the galaxy’s most wanted criminals, as EMPEROR PALPATINE realizes the scope of Qi’ra’s plans against him and moves to destroy her.

While the two are making their way toward the Fermata Cage, the Archivist tries to make her way out. She has fulfilled her duty and is now trying to find the best option to escape. Of course, the last place anyone wants to be is between two Sith lords and a powerful dark side object. The Empire annihilates Crimson Dawn’s remaining forces, forcing Qi’ra, the Archivist, and any other survivors to flee with their lives. As the Archivist’s recording promised at the end of Crimson Reign #1, this is the story of a tragedy and the fall of Crimson Dawn.

Her survival means that she can appear in future stories that take place after this point in the timeline, from future comics, to maybe even having Emilia Clarke reprising her role as Qi’ra from Soloin a new live-action story. Now that Luke and Leia know of all the sacrifices Qi’ra made and the role she played in bringing down the Sith and the Empire, they may want to work with her if they learn of her survival. Iden Versio and Inferno Squad!! If you don’t know who they are be sure to open this post in a new tab and read it next. But Iden Versio, Gideon Hask, and Del Meeko are some of the main characters in Star Wars Battlefront II (and prime candidates to show up in a Mandalorian Era show in my opinion) that are very popular characters. In StarWars.com’s exclusive first look at Star Wars: Hidden Empire #1, the final installment in Marvel and writer Charles Soule’s unofficial Qi’ra trilogy, the Crimson Dawn leader finally engages the Emperor. And she has a surprise for him… STAR WARS: DOCTOR APHRA VOL. 6 - ASCENDANT on Penguin Random House Comics (archived from the original)

The grand finale has finally come. It’s been a long journey through this trilogy of comic arcs spearheaded by the great Charles Soule, but with Hidden Empire #5, we have an epic conclusion. CHAOS REIGNS! The epic conclusion to the trilogy begun with WAR OF THE BOUNTY HUNTERS and CRIMSON REIGN! At last, Qi'ra will reveal herself to the Sith. At last, she will have her revenge. Plot summary [ ]We've seen that before, right? First in Doctor Strange, at the hands of the Ancient One, to prove to Strange that a human spirit does indeed exist, no matter what he thinks he believes. By showing Strange his own. But now, it did not matter. For the Sith had recovered from near extinction, and they survived under the guidance of Vitiate. During the first centuries of his rule, there had been an enormous progress, but when it had been discovered that he had been the one behind the atrocity committed in Nathema, actions had been taken. And now, the new Sith Emperor, succeeding Vitiate, ruled from the Sith Sanctum located in the Imperial Citadel, and oversaw his growing empire. However, the Fermata Cage was destroyed, which resulted in a Force Wave being sent out across the galaxy, [15] when the Knights of Ren arrived in the battle and fired on it. Believing Sidious would escape whatever became of him and hoping that, by saving the Sith, they would save themselves from their wrath, the Knights' intervention spared both Sith Lords from being trapped in the Cage, leaving Crimson Dawn's efforts to crumble around them as the Empire overwhelmed their fleet. Vader collected [7] the destroyed [15] but still intact Cage and departed with Sidious, who tortured the Knights with Force lightning but promised they would be put to use. The Spark Eternal, meanwhile, fled into the disc-droid dropped by the Cage [7] and merged with it, becoming the Scourge. [8] Behind the scenes [ ]
