'''''Counterstrike''''' was a roleplaying-game adventure written by [[George R. Strayton]] and published in [[Star Wars Adventure Journal 8|''Star Wars Adventure Journal'' 8]]. It was later republished in the collection ''[[Classic Adventures: Volume Four - The Best of the Journal]]''. The story was set in the [[Corva sector/Legends|Corva sector]] and revolved around the efforts of the [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]] presence in the sector overcoming an Imperial splinter movement called the [[Restored Empire|Kaarenth Dissension]]. The adventure was a follow-on from "[[Relic (article)|Relic]]", also written by Strayton.

The article "[[The Imperial Warlords: Despoilers of an Empire]]" later retconned the Kaarenth Dissension as part of the Restored Empire introduced in ''[[Star Wars: Crimson Empire III—Empire Lost]]''.
