The mission[]
Prelude[]
After stealing theStaraker, a new secret Imperial warship, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Mich Shabandar and the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO were sent to the planet Alashan. They crash-landed into the lava covering the planet. TheRebels finally dug their way out of the hardened lava only to be captured byMajorWil'm Grau and his men. The Imperials were without a ship, and Grau agreed to search the planet together under a banner of truce. The team finally found a destroyed Rebel archaeologist camp which had been working on an underground tunnel. The entire team decided to search the tunnel. Unknown to the group, they were being stalked by abeast native to the planet.
Journey throughout the City of Forever[]
Along withMajorWil'm Grau, the team entered anunderground city and went exploring. There, Leia found strange markings on the walls of the city. She felt like she was familiar with them, but didn't know how. Leia, walking alone on a bridge, was attacked by theSentinel creature. Luke rescued her by pushing Leia off the bridge, causing the both of them to fall off of the bridge. They were soon reunited with the group. After a hunt in which the Sentinel almost killed the team, Leia Organa found the source of the Sentinel's power in theAlashan control center. Upon destroying the structure, they were able to destroy the Sentinel. After digging out of the rubble, the team boarded theStaraker and Organa offers Grau a place in theRebellion. However, he declined, leaving the ship in a scoutboat. As theHumans left the planet, the destroyed underground city came to life and a cryptic laughing resounded through the complex.
Aftermath[]
Grau and Anarine then left the world in theStaraker with the Rebels, where Organa offered Grau a position in the Rebel Alliance. However, Grau declined, and he and Anarine left the ship in a scoutboat to return to the Empire. The Rebel group then returned back to the Rebel Alliance's main base.
