Crimson Empire was a dramatization in form of two audio CDs (or cassettes) of the popular comic-book Star Wars: Crimson Empire, originally published by Dark Horse Comics. The audio drama was released in 1999, one year after the comic series, with mainly the same plot.
It is noteworthy because usual voice actors for Star Wars, such as Nick Jameson, did not work in this project.
