Chapter 10 of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn.
Grand Admiral Thrawn has been escalating his pressure on the disputed territory between the Empire and the New Republic. Now with Master Joruus C’baoth at his disposal, Thrawn commands three simultaneous planetary raids to test both the skill and the compliance of the Dark Jedi.
Smuggler Talon Karrde and his apprentice Mara Jade seem to be in the right place at the right time to witness the raid on Bpfassh, while the New Republic is on the back foot as its resources and attention are being reallocated into establishing governance despite being at war.
Leia's Jedi training has started sporadically, while Luke worries that he might not be the teacher that is needed of one tasked with rebuilding the Jedi Order.
Leia and Han survey the damage on Bpfassh under the protective detail of Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron. Leia's new Jedi senses alert them just-in-time to another ambush by the same alien species that ambushed them on Bimmisaari.
Despite being able to repel their assailants, they are nonetheless closer to understanding the motives and origin of these mysterious aliens.
After an unproductive call with Admiral Ackbar, Han decides it's time to take the matter of their safety into their own hands.
