History ComicBook / AgentOfTheEmpire

* {{Ambadassador}}: Cross is a badass spy but always introduces himself as a special envoy with the diplomatic service, and some of his lines indicate that he isn't lying about that.
* AntiVillain: Jahan works for the Empire because he believes in what it stands for, and he has good reason to. It's worth noting that he doesn't share most Imperials' FantasticRacism (his relationship with Alessi is rather easygoing, and he seems unimpressed with when a coworker calls him a "slithering wermo").

* DaChief: You might have missed it, but Jahan's "M" is Imperial Intelligence Director Armand Isard, the father of Ysanne Isard (a major villain in the ''X-Wing'' novel series). True to form, he's constantly chewing Cross out for the trail of collateral damage he leaves.

* XanatosGambit: Jahan Cross is a master of these.

** Jahan teases Han by telling him he could never outfly Soontir Fel. That would be Soontir Fel from the ''ComicBook/XWingSeries''.

** The first arc is about the Stark family from the Stark-Hyperspace War from way back in ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsRepublic Republic]]''.
* CallForward:
** The ''Grinning Liar'' is given clearance to land on Serenno. The ''Grinning Liar'' is the ship of Chak and Kee in ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsLegacy Legacy]]'', about a hundred years later.

* ContinuityPorn: We finally get to see Dooku's homeworld and a substantial portion of the second trade takes place on Alderaan.

* OddFriendship: Jahan Cross is a loyalist Imperial spy and is, apparently, close friends with Bail Organa.
** Doubles as a FailedASpotCheck given Jahan Cross should pick up on the fact Bail Organa is the biggest threat to the Empire there is.

** The second series has its villain revealed to be [[spoiler: the Empire itself.]]

* ContinuityPorn: We finally get to see Dooku's homeworld, we get a previous comic series from a decade ago form the crux of another plot, and a substantial portion of the second trade takes place on Alderaan.
** Plus Boba Fett.
** The Stark-Hyperspace War didn't really need to be followed up on but they decided to do so anyway.

* {{Ambadassador}}: Cross is a badass spy but always introduces himself as a special envoy with the diplomatic service. It's possible that his only official position is with [=DiploServ=].

* DaChief: You might have missed it, but Jahan's "M" is Imperial Intelligence Director Armand Isard, the father of Ysanne Isard (a major villain in the ''X-Wing'' novel series). True to form, he has to continually warm Cross to keep casualties to a minimum.

The first series, ''Iron Eclipse'' has him deal with the architect of the Stark-Hyperspace War, and his long overdue karmic payback. A sequel series, ''Star Wars: Agent of the Empire: Hard Target'', takes place on Alderaan and deals with Jahan Cross following up on the legacy of Count Dooku's noble house as well as corruption in the Imperial government.

* DaChief: You might have missed it, but Jahan's "M" is Armand Isard, presumably a relation of Ysanne Isard (a major villain in the ''X-Wing'' novel series). True to form, he has to continually warm Cross to keep casualties to a minimum.

* GenericDoomsdayVillain: [[spoiler: Iaco Stark becomes one of these after cybernetics have warped his mind.]]
