The fabled hoard of the mad tyrant Xim was beyond measure — it was also , as far as Han Solo and his Wookiee partner Chewbacca were concerned , strictly legendary . But the pleadings of an old spacebum who had once saved his life — plus the fact that a trifling misunderstanding had set the deadliest gunman in the galaxy on his trail , making a secret expedition to almost any place seem highly desirable — were enough to grab Han Solo ' s interest . But within hours of landing on the planet rumored to hold the treasure , Han ' s beloved spacecraft " Millennium Falcon " was hijacked , and his party had to contend with assassins and an army of killer robots . This was no way , Han Solo felt , for a pair of honest smugglers to make a living … Plot summary . This book takes place shortly after the events of " Han Solo ' s Revenge " , in 1 BBY . The story opens with Han Solo and Chewbacca back on hard times , having squandered their " reward " for breaking up the slavery ring within the Corporate Sector Authority on celebrations and a number of failed ventures . Once again the smuggler duo is teamed with the elderly labor droid , BLX - 5 , and the computer probe , Blue Max . A quick job nets the smugglers 1 , 500 credits and lands them on the University world of Rudrig in the Tion Hegemony . Here , Han and Chewie encounter Alexsandr Badure , an old smuggler who had once saved their lives . Badure had fallen on hard times himself and had been working contract labor at a quasi - legal mining camp on the planet Dellalt , where he had befriended two sisters , Hasti and Lanni Troujow . Lanni , a pilot , had discovered what they believed to be the log recorder disk from the long - lost " Queen of Ranroon " , the fabled treasure ship of the warlord Xim the Despot . Millennia earlier , the " Queen " and her cargo of treasure and a legion of Xim ' s warrior - robots were lost en route to Xim ' s sprawling treasure vaults on Dellalt . Dellalt was now a minor , backwater world with a meager human population of Tionese origin , out in the largely disregarded Tion . Badure needed Han and Chewbacca for a mission , taking himself and Hasti back to Dellalt , along with the Ruurian professor Skynx , whose job was to translate the disk and lead them all to the treasure . Lanni stashed the disk in a lockbox at the vaults , which were now partially used for public storage , before being murdered by the mine operators , who were now pursuing Badure and Hasti to claim the disk , and the treasure , for themselves . To make things more interesting , Han was also being pursued by Gallandro , the deadliest gunman in the galaxy , who was bent on avenging a point of honor with Han over their dealings in Han ' s adventures in the Corporate Sector . Shortly after arriving on Dellalt , the mine operators managed to steal the " Millennium Falcon " and take it back to the mine to search for the disk . Han ' s party decided to hike across several hundred kilometers of Dellatian open country to reclaim her . Along the way , they met up with the Survivors , a clan of inbred humans , who have evidently lived in the mountains for generations and who kept their existence secret by killing any outsiders who stumble upon them , as Han and Chewbacca have . It turned out that the Survivors had a bigger secret than just their own existence in the mountains to hide . They also held the key to Xim ' s treasure and the secret to the fate of the " Queen of Ranroon " , all Han had to do was get his ship back , defeat an army of killer robots and steer clear of Gallandro , who had managed to track him to Dellalt , and team up with the mine operators . Behind the scenes . The scar on Han Solo ' s chin is explained in this book as a knife wound he received during a fight with a dockworker on Dellalt . Cover gallery .
