Plot summary

After their escape from the Wheel, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker arrive at Centares to trade in the space yacht for a more practical, and less traceable, ship. As they leave the planet they discover that a House of Tagge Mining Explorer is on its way to Yavin. Knowing the Tagge's ties with the Empire, and fearing for the security of the Rebel base on Yavin 4, they decide to follow them and investigate further. They discover that the Mining Explorer is transporting Imperial TIE fighters to the planet Yavin, and hiding the fighters in the thick gaseous atmosphere of the giant planet. Luke and Leia realize that this can only mean danger for the Rebel base nearby and rush to alert them, but are intercepted by an Imperial patrol.
