What's on offer, you ask? Combat sequences so intense, they'll make your jaw drop. Kay Vess, our protagonist, has a super cute sidekick, Nix, who brings some serious heat in battle. We also saw Kay cruising on a speeder, negotiating a bribe with an Imperial officer, and making a slick escape into hyperspace. Talk about an adventure!
