Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Dark Force Rising" picked up soon after "Heir to the Empire". After Grand Admiral Thrawn's failed attack at the Sluis Van shipyards, he took a trip back to Myrkr to talk to Talon Karrde about his betrayal. Karrde had predicted this, and had already packed up his organization. Where was Karrde hiding when Thrawn arrived in the Myrkr system?
2. Thrawn had actually guessed where Karrde was, but was feigning ignorance until his trap could be set. What saved Karrde from Thrawn's trap?

4. Luke was stranded at the Sluis Van shipyards while his X-wing was out of commission. Unfortunately, Thrawn's attack had left a lot of damage, and his ship was not the top priority. What managed to speed things up?
5. Han got back to Coruscant and barely had a chance to say hello to Leia before he was dragged into a debriefing on the Sluis Van shipyard attack, and Admiral Ackbar's arrest.

10. While Karrde was technically a smuggler, practically he was more of an information broker. Did Karrde know where the Katana Fleet was?
11. One thorn in the side of the New Republic was that Thrawn had a tap on some communications on Coruscant, and no one could figure out where it was coming from. What did Thrawn call this intelligence?
12. Leia went to her rendezvous with Khabarakh, the Noghri commando she had released in the previous book. While waiting, Leia briefly lost consciousness (scaring Chewie and Threepio). What had made Leia feint?
13. Luke was scheduled to meet Han and Lando on New Cov, in a tapcaf called the Mishra. While waiting, he found himself dragged into a dispute between a Barabel and a Rodian, and was asked to broker a resolution. What caused the dispute?

15. On New Cov, Han, Lando, and Luke found Tav Breil'lya (Fey'lya's aide), and his contacts Sena and Irenes. They barely got through introductions before the Imperials showed up to raid the planet. The heroes managed to get to the hangar with their ships, but it was crawling with Stormtroopers. What did they use as a distraction?
16. Even though they escaped New Cov's atmosphere, there was still a Star Destroyer in orbit. Han was scrambling to get the Lady Luck's hyperdrive ready, but Irenez recommended he hold off. What trick did her group have up its sleeve?
17. True to his word from the previous novel, Khabarakh met Leia alone. He brought her, Chewie, and Threepio onto his ship, and took them to Honoghr, the Noghri homeworld. When they arrived, there was a Star Destroyer in orbit. Chewie was furious at the apparent betrayal, and held Khabarakh. What made Chewie release the Noghri?
18. Thrawn had decided to visit the Noghri in person to convey his displeasure at their inability to capture Leia. Thrawn had Khabarakh brought for questioning, but Khabarakh still did not reveal that Leia was with him. After the questions, Thrawn returned to the Chimera. What did he leave behind on the planet's surface?
19. Han and Lando were taken by Irenez to a mobile military base run by an older gentleman named Garm Bel Iblis. There were not many people in the galaxy who could command immediate respect from Han Solo, but Bel Iblis was one of them. How did Han know Bel Iblis?
20. Thrawn's goal was to rebuild the Empire and destroy the New Republic. To do that, he needed a fleet, and did not have time to wait for a new one to be built.

23. After helping Han out on New Cov, Luke went to the planet Jomark to find the Jedi Joruus C'Baoth. Luke found the old Jedi Master soon after landing, and his training began immediately.
