[edit] Plot
While training on board the Millennium Falcon, Luke Skywalker falls into a deep and mysterious trance. As Han, Leia, and Chewbacca pilot the Falcon toward medical help, they stumble across the remains of a House of Tagge merchant ship. They discover a surviving Rebel soldier who tells them that the Tagge ship was actually attacked by Imperials, but was made to look like it was Rebels who destroyed the civilian craft. The Imperial cruiser of Commander Strom soon arrives on the scene intending to capture the Falcon and her crew, but Han pilots their escape to the relative safety of The Wheel. Strom sends his troops to follow, but soon hears from the Wheel administrator Simon Greyshade who reminds the Imperial commander that the Wheel is supposed to be free of interference from the Empire. Strom then claims that these Rebels are resposible for the attack on the House of Tagge ship which was carrying profits from the Wheel, at which point Greyshade relents and allows the Imperials onto the Wheel's lower levels to catch the Rebels.
