Tasked with investigating malfunctioning droids at a Tagge
warehouse, Doctor Aphra and Just Lucky came face-to-face
with the scourged droids. After disbaling one of them, Aphra
used her connection to the Spark Eternal, a component of the

  2. The events of Doctor Aphra (2020) 39 take place during the Star Wars: Dark Droids crossover event that StarWars.com Charles Soule Unleashes Dark Droids on StarWars.com (backup link) in turn places after Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters. Star Wars: Timelines dates War of the Bounty Hunters to 3 ABY. In addition, the flashbacks of Star Wars (2020) 50, which occur after the events of Star Wars (2020) 43 and thereby also after those of Dark Droids, take place approximately twenty-two years after Sheev Palpatine becoming Galactic Emperor, which Timelines dates to 19 BBY. Therefore Doctor Aphra (2020) 39 must be set around 3 ABY.
