Underworld: The Yavin Vassilika was a five-issue series of comics published between 2000 and 2001.

It recounts the madcap adventure to retrieve the fabled Yavin Vassilika for a trio of Hutts competing to see who could gather the most talented team of mercenaries.

The chase included Han Solo, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, Bossk, Dengar, IG-88B, Zuckuss, Greedo, and even the mysterious Boba Fett. In the end, the Vassilika was found outside the rim, and nabbed by one of the Hutt's assistant's, Jozzel Moffet on behalf of the Rebel Alliance (and Han's old flame, Bria Tharen). The Vassilika, it turns out, contained a key to an ancient Massassi temple which would provide the Alliance with a strategic outpost.

Publisher's summaryEdit

When three Hutts place a wager on who can raise the most successful squad of henchmen to procure a highly valuable, mythical treasure, the most conniving rogues of the Star Wars Galaxy are recruited to get the dirty work done.

Three teams comprising the galaxy's most scandalous scoundrels—including Boba Fett, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, Dengar, and IG-88—set out to be the first to find the mysterious Yavin Vassilika, but staying alive and ahead of each other is harder than any of these toughs might imagine... and with the unforeseen addition of a fourth secret investor and his seductive, conniving agent, the competition gets hotter than the twin suns of Tatooine!

Set before the landmark events of A New Hope, this mad-dash adventure explodes with top-notch action and hilarious wit that Star Wars fans of any era will enjoy.
