Publisher's summary

TECHNO (RE)UNION! Three decades ago, Anakin Skywalker slaughtered Wat Tambor, leader of the Techno Union, along with the rest of the Separatist leaders by the command of the Emperor. So who is the pirate JUL TAMBOR, what is he planning on Skako Minor, and what will the Handmaiden, who now stands at Vader's side, do when it's her job to choose if Jul lives or dies? Also, which Handmaiden is this? And will this new adventure fulfill Sabé's dream of derailing Vader's journey to the dark side – or simply complete it?

Opening crawl

TECHNO (RE)UNION 
After their failed mission to bring Governor
Tauntaza, a corrupt operative of Crimson
Dawn, to justice, Darth Vader and Sabé, the
former handmaiden of Padmé Amidala,
traveled to Coruscant for an audience with
the Emperor.

The Emperor tested Sabé, deeming her
worthy to serve as a commander for Darth
Vader. The Emperor then ordered Darth Vader
to quell an uprising on Skako Minor led by Jul
Tambor. Darth Vader sent Sabé to
assassinate Jul Tambor alone as yet another
test of her conviction.

On Naboo, Sabé's fellow handmaidens
apprehended the assassin Ochi of Bestoon.
The group interrogated Ochi, seeking to
liberate their companion from the Empire's
grasp or put an end to her desecration of
Padmé's memory….

Continuity

The publisher's summary places Darth Vader 29 three decades after the Mission to Mustafar,[3] which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 19 BBY, meaning that Darth Vader 29 would take place in 11 ABY. However, as it must take place prior to Darth Vader's death which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 4 ABY, this placement is inaccurate.
