If the Dark Lord of the Sith ever learns of her survival, he’ll hunt her to the ends of the galaxy. But for now, it’s time for a return to what she does best. With droids Triple-Zero and BeeTee-One in tow, she’s off in search of rare artifacts from the galactic center to the Outer Rim — and everywhere in between. Aphra’s got debts to pay, after all. Just as long as she can stay one step ahead of the Empire, some bounty hunters…and just about everyone else in the galaxy!" -

"A rebel pilot and a rogue archaeologist delve into the darkest shadows of the galaxy side by side, as Luke Skywalker reluctantly teams up with Doctor Aphra! The not-so-good Doctor will make Luke an offer he can't afford to pass up…one that leads him to a very rare gathering at the heart of the infamous Screaming Citadel! Will Luke find what he's looking for? Can Aphra be trusted? Or will they both wind up victims of the Citadel's queen? And as this unlikely duo steps right into the lair of one of the most powerful, reclusive and dangerous women in the galaxy, can Han and Leia be far behind them?" -


 * Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, vol. 2—Doctor Aphra and the Enormous Profit - Collects vol. 1 #9-13 & Annual #1. "Aphra's back with a brand-new plan that's guaranteed to pay! There's just one teensy problem… it involves surrounding herself with some of the galaxy's biggest baddies. And they don't like the not-so-good doctor's tricks! Her mission to make quick credits by auctioning off an ancient Jedi artifact will start well… and end badly. And that's just when a dark figure from Aphra's past decides to make an appearance!" -


 * Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, vol. 3—Remastered - Collects vol. 1 #14-19. "The not-so-good Doc is being blackmailed by evil droid mastermind Triple-Zero to run missions for his underground crime syndicate — but that doesn’t mean she can’t cause trouble and have fun along the way! Her latest assignment? Infiltrating a secret Rebellion training center run by General Hera Syndulla. Aphra is used to being in way over her head, but this time she’s not alone! Who else is caught up in her latest misadventure? Let’s hope they’re friendly — otherwise Aphra may have finally bitten off more than she can chew!" - -


 * Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, vol. 4—The Catastrophe - Collects vol. 1 #20-25. "Doctor Aphra is behind bars. Again. But this time she’s in Imperial custody, strapped to an explosive transmitter synced to a single hubdroid. Take one step too far? Kablooey! So what happens when Aphra’s captors send her hubdroid right into the middle of a war zone? And what’s this rumor about the prison being haunted? Meanwhile, Aphra’s got information — and it’s information the Rebellion wants. But how far are they willing to go — and who are they willing to recruit — to get it?" -


 * Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, vol. 5—Worst Among Equals - Collects vol. 1 #26-31 & Annual #2. "On the run from the law in a massive alien metropolis, Aphra has ten hours to cross the hostile megacity before the bomb implanted in her throat explodes. And don't forget the pack of bounty hunters and crazed cops that are on her tail. No big deal, right? But there's one more wrinkle: Aphra can't stray more than a few paces from her companion without activating the bomb's proximity alert and blowing both of them up. And that companion is Triple-Zero - a sadistic, murderous droid who's more interested in Aphra's death than in playing nice!" -


 * Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, vol. 6—Unspeakable Rebel Superweapon - Collects vol. 1 #32-36. "After a year of close shaves, Doctor Chelli Aphra is taking it easy and lying low. Probably herding banthas or something. She’s smart like that, right? No, not really. She’s back to busting into alien temples to steal horrifying weapons for huge profit. She just can’t stop herself. But plenty of other people could. Powerful factions are watching closely — all calculating whether Aphra is more useful alive…or dead. And now, the incorrigible and sticky-fingered Aphra finds herself at the mercy of the Rebel High Command. But things are about to get even stickier! The one thing every galactic treasure hunter knows for sure: exes never mark the spot!" -

After all she’s been through, professional disaster zone Doctor Aphra has found herself once again working for Darth Vader.

But after a string of bad luck and near escapes, Doctor Aphra is back on the job — hunting the score of a lifetime that’s too good to pass up. To find the cursed Rings of Vaale, Aphra will need a crew of treasure hunters the likes of which the galaxy has never seen! But Ronen Tagge, heir to the powerful Tagge family, also has his eyes on the prize. Do Aphra and her team stand a chance at gaining fortune and glory? Or could there be a traitor in their midst?" -

Now Aphra finds herself running for her life, trying to shake every bounty hunter on her tail. But one of those hunters is Aphra's angry ex Sana Starros — and for Sana, it's personal! Aphra can't outthink Domina or outrun Sana…so what choice does she have left? Perhaps locating a mysterious piece of tech that could shift the balance of the galactic civil war? Aphra's desperate hunt takes her to Corellia — but unfortunately for her, that's right on Sana's doorstep. And our roguish doctor isn't the only one with an eye on this prize!

And to make things worse, they must contend with the fearsome bounty hunter Durge! Then, a mysterious invitation leads Aphra and Sana to an exclusive party - teeming with scum and villainy! Can they survive the underworld social event of the century? Or will their cover be blown by a familiar face with an agenda of their own?

Then, our daring duo stumbles upon a strange ritual — and an even stranger enemy! Surely their story can't end like this, at the hands of the practitioner of an ancient cult — can it?!
