Jango Fett's sister, Arla Fett, is alive. Skirata and co bust her out of an insane asylum. She's a homicidal maniac these days.

Skirata and Jusik and the gang head to an asylum to break out Dr Uthan, the geneticist. [Added as it best goes here:] So she can stop the clones' accelerated aging. Jusik hears someone muttering in pseudo-Mando'a, opens the cell from where it's coming and finds Arla there. She's accused of three homicides. They then rescue her too, for some reason. I haven't finished the book yet; I'm sure there's more of this.

General Zey is killed by Maze after the Order is issued. However, it's done reluctlantly, after Zey begs him to do it

And Etain is now the runner-up for worst Jedi ever. She dies like a punk, sacrificing herself to save the life of a clone she doesn't even know from a group of Padawans. Who were acting in self-defense. This is supposed to be heroic and moving. I found it absolutely hilarious.

She's on her way to the RV point to escape when this happens. She isn't fighting the Jedi. So she isn't acting against the Padawans, really, she just reflexively protects the clone trooper. Because he is a man!

I don't think she cared that much what happened to the kids. She just wanted to protect the clone trooper. But throwing yourself in front of a lightsaber swing is pretty stupid.

She doesn't draw her lightsaber because then the clones would know she's a Jedi and kill her. So she, um, blocks the strike with her body instead. Yeah...

[She dies in] A place called Shinarcan bridge. And she isn't surrounded by Padawans, there are three of them.

Because she knew what a lightsaber could do, because she'd killed with one, because the trooper was a man, a living breathing man - she stepped into the clone's path, and into the downward arc of a lightsaber.
It might have been meant for her.
It might have been meant for him.

And then the pain stopped forever.

This is a second resurrection of Boba Fett relative that Traviss has done, the first one being Sintas Vel. Jango Fett did indeed have a sister, as shown in Jango Fett: Open Seasons, but she was supposed to have been killed by the Mandalorian Death Watch in 58 BBY.

The poster (and the author apparently too) was using "man" in one of the old meanings of the word, just meaning "human being", not a "male", as far as I understand.
