Release Information

USA/Canada: February 28, 2006
UK: May 4, 2006

Triple Zero is the sequel to Republic Commando: Hard Contact. It's a paperback and is 293 pages. It takes place 12 months after the Battle of Geonosis, and thus about 9 months after Hard Contact ended. The short story Omega Squad: Targets is included at the back of the novel (and should be read first, as it takes place shortly after Hard Contact chronologically), as is a glossary of Mando'a, slang, and real military terms.

Premise

Omega Squad and Delta Squad team up with Kal Skirata, Walon Vau, two Jedi, and a couple Null ARCs to expose and dismantle a Separatist terrorist group operating against Grand Army targets on Coruscant - nicknamed "Triple Zero" in military slang due to its central galactic location.

Main Characters

Teaser from the back of the book

Following the eruption of the bloddy Clone Wars at the battle of Geonosis, both sides remain deadlocked in a stalemate that can be broken only by the elite warrior teams like Omega Squad, clone commandos with terrifying combat skills and a lethal arsenal....

For Omega Squad, deployed deep behind enemy lines, it's the same old special ops grind: sabotage, espionage, ambush, and assassination. But when Omega Squad is rushed to Coruscant, the war's most dangerous new hotspot, the commandos discover they're not the only ones penetrating the heart of the enemy.

A surge in Separatist attacks has been traced to a network of Sep terror cells in the Republic's capital, masterminded by a mole in Command Headquarters. To identify and destroy a Separatist spy and terror network in a city full of civilians will require special talents and skills. Not even the leadership of Jedi generals, along with the assistance of Delta squad and a certain notorious ARC trooper, can even the odds against the Republic Commandos. And while success may not bring victory in the Clone Wars, failure means certain defeat.
