The X-wing fighter pilots have earned their reputation as the Rebel Alliance's ultimate strike force by overwhelming enemies with their rapid-fire assaults. But now they are about to embark on a diplomatic mission that will prove to be even more hazardous than all-out combat....STARFIGHTERS OF ADUMARThe neutral world of Adumar has decided to pick a side in the war to control the galaxy.
