Years ago, Plourr Ilo's family was executed in a political coup, and she alone was able to escape. The royal daughter of Eiattu was raised in the gruff surroundings of the galaxy's space garages and became a celebrated addition to the Rebellion. A chance encounter during the Phantom Affair led Eiattu's ruling council to rediscover their long-lost princess, and invite her back to the home planet she hadn't seen in years, in hopes that she might help resolve the problems between the ruling elitist Priamsta and the populist leader who claims to be her lone surviving brother. It's not long before the planet's leaders discovers their re-instated princess might have some ruling ideas of her own.
"Warrior Princess was the first X-Wing story-arc where we got a chance to focus in on one of the series' most popular characters: Plourr," said Stackpole. "Her tough demeanor and attitude has made her a fan favorite from the beginning, and this story-arc combined an origin story for her with the tale of a world trying to rebuild itself as the Empire collapses. The highly political story is full of deceit, betrayal, and conspiracies, yet also introduces new members and kicks the whole X-Wing series into higher gear."
