Mari ' s mission This mission took place during the Galactic Civil War , as an Imperial diplomat had two Rebel courier s deliver an important message to the leaders of the Alliance . Background . Agents from the Imperial Security Bureau had infiltrated the Rebel Alliance and caused the deaths of several Rebel operatives . The Imperial diplomat , who secretly worked with the Rebel Alliance , knew the identities of many of these ISB agents and had the two couriers deliver the information to the Alliance . The Empire knew about the diplomat , but not who the diplomat was , and had issued a bounty on the two couriers , hoping to capture them and learn the identity of the diplomat and subsequently execute him publicly . A number of professional bounty hunters , including Boba Fett and Zardra , as well as some regular hoodlums , set the couriers as marks . The mission . While Mari ' s job was to deliver the message , her friend was to supply offworld transport . The mission suffered a setback as Fett killed Mari ' s friend in a cantina where Mari herself and a group of spacers were also present . As Mari was hiding in the shadows , Fett did not spot her , but announced that he was looking for her and willing to pay a hefty reward to anyone who could point him to her . The spacers noted Mari hiding in the dark - partially because of her beautiful face and because of a single tear running down her cheek . Danger in the streets . Not knowing that the spacers had seen her , Mari sneaked out of the cantina and into the dark streets outside . Here , she was attacked by a gang of hoodlums , who had heard about the bounty on her head . Having been encircled by the gang , Mari desperately screamed out for help . Unbeknownst to her , the spacers had decided to try and find her and had heard the screams . The spacers arrived just in time and interrupted the gang . The gang leader invited the spacers to a brawl where only blades and batons were allowed . The spacers agreed and managed to defeat the gang . As the gang leader saw his minions defeated , he pulled a blaster on the spacers , but was assaulted out of the blue by Zardra . While Zadra disposed of the gang leader with her force pike , Mari and the spacers ran off and hid in a dark alley . Here Mari thanked them for saving her and , after they convinced her that they wanted to help her , Mari revealed her identity and mission , and implored the spacers to help her offworld . At this point Boba Fett had found them and offered the spacers a large sum of money for handing over Mari . Ambushed in the docking bay . Mari and the spacers managed to quietly slip away into the dark and made way for the docking bay where the spacers ' ship was parked . In the docking bay , the group was attacked by yet another bounty hunter , who tried to sneak up on the group and knock one of them unconscious . The bounty hunter ultimately failed , and the Rebel and spacers made it to the ship and took off , just as Fett and Zardra entered the docking bay . Space battle and escape to hyperspace . The bounty hunters contacted spaceport control , who dispatched a Star Destroyer and four TIE fighters to capture the spaceship . The strategy was for the TIEs to pester the spacers ' ship while the Star Destroyer brought its tractor beam to bear . However , the spacers and Mari managed to make a jump to lightspeed and escape the Imperial forces , thus enabling Mari to complete her mission and deliver the Imperial diplomat ' s message .
