PreludeEdit

In order to retrieve more information about the new Imperial superweapon, the Alliance decided to attack one of Grand Moff Tarkin’s research facilities.

The station in question was heavily defended, so Han Solo was tasked with infiltrating an Imperial cargo facility in the Vergesso Asteroids and attaching an EMP device to a container bound for Tarkin’s station.

The missionEdit

Han Solo and Chewbacca used the Millennium Falcon to scan the system. Their intention was to find a container that would be heading to Tarkin’s research station.

At some point Boba Fett, in the Slave I, arrived in the system searching for Solo.

After destroying some TIE fighters on patrol, Han found the container and succeeded in placing the EMP device and left the system before any more Imperial reinforcements arrived.

AftermathEdit

After the Millennium Falcon left the system, the container and its new load was sent to Tarkin’s research facility, in orbit of Corulag.
