He enlists the aid of General Ulric Tagge as well as his younger sister Sister Domina Tagge to help him in the endeavor. Domina is a member of the Order of the Sacred Circle who have thus far remained neutral in the Galactic Civil War, but that will soon change and each side in the conflict, The Empire and Rebellion, will send a representative to the planet Monastery to present his case.   Vader is to represent the Galactic Empire, and Domina requests Luke Skywalker to  represent the Alliance. While Luke thinks he may be in over his head on this diplomatic mission, Domina reassures him, even though her true intentions are revenge for Luke's involvement in the apparent death of Orman Tagge.   As usual, we take our Facebook Group Comments on the cover into account as we analyze this issue.
