Mission to Kessel Station The Azzameen family carried out a mission to Kessel Station just prior to the Battle of Endor . Following the Battle of Hoth , the Azzameen family business , Twin Suns Transport Services , gave aid to the Rebel Alliance in the form of Bacta shipments . During delivery of one shipment , family patriarch Tomaas Azzameen and his eldest son Galin Azzameen were believed killed by Imperial forces . Following reclamation of their previously Imperialized home base , Tomaas ' s brother Antan Azzameen claimed that his brother and nephew were actually imprisoned , not killed . He led his surviving niece and nephews to Kessel Station , allegedly to free their father and brother . The raid was actually a ruse to deliver the surviving Azzameens into the hands of Imperial authorities . Antan Azzameen fled the system , while the remaining Azzameens were left to fight their way out of the trap . Due to the gravitational influence of the nearby Maw cluster , the Azzameen siblings had difficulty plotting a hyperspace course , and seemed likely to be captured until family friend Dunari appeared and provided an escape course . The group then made its way out of Imperial territory and back to the Alliance Fleet with a minimum of fuss . Prelude . During the Galactic Civil War , in the period between the pivotal battles of Hoth and Endor , the Twin Suns Transport Services company owned by the Azzameen family covertly lent its aid to the Rebellion . While delivering a shipment of bacta to the Rebel XQ2 Platform Hospital , family patriarch Tomaas Azzameen and his eldest son Galin were believed killed in a raid by forces of the Empire . In response to their treason against the Empire , all Azzameen family assets were seized and warrants were issued against all members of the family . The family ' s youngest child , Ace Azzameen , joined the Alliance Fleet following this tragedy , while his remaining family — older sister Aeron Azzameen , older brother Emon Azzameen , and uncle Antan Azzameen — continued to operate in a freelance capacity against both the Empire and their rival family , the Viraxo . In his capacity as a Rebel starfighter pilot , Ace Azzameen was tasked with scouting the base of operations for a group of mercenaries who were attempting to sour relations between the Bothans and Sullustans . Assisted by his sister Aeron , Ace Azzameen discovered that his family ' s primary place of business and residence , Azzameen Station , had fallen into the hands of these mercenaries . As a reprisal against the inhabitants of the newly renamed " Falcon ' s Nest , " the Alliance waged a successful battle to retake the station . Following this battle , Antan Azzameen called a meeting of the Azzameen family at their reclaimed home . He admitted that he had been contracted by the Empire to use the mercenaries that formerly occupied the station to damage the Rebellion . The elder Azzameen claimed to his niece and nephews that he only did so in order to secure the safety of his brother Tomaas and eldest nephew Emon , and that the Rebels had jeopardized his plan by successfully thwarting the mercenaries . He told the assembled Azzameen family members that their father and brother were being held at the heavily armed platform of Kessel Station , orbiting the prison planet Kessel . According to Antan , the only remaining way for the Azzameen family to free their imprisoned relatives was to travel to the Kessel system and take them by force . The mission . The Azzameen family departed from Azzameen Station in their usual starships : Emon in his " Firespray " - class attack craft , " Andrasta " , Antan commanding the Action IV transport " Big Score " , and Ace and the family ' s trusted droid MK - 09 piloting the YT - 2000 light freighter " Otana " with Aeron as their passenger . Antan Azzameen claimed that he had connections that would allow the family to safely enter the Kessel system and dock with Kessel Station . After entering the system without interference from any authorities , the Azzameens would first have to slice into the records of the control station to learn which of the Kessel Station Holding Cell s held their imprisoned family members . The " Otana " flew to Kessel Station and docked , then Aeron commenced slicing the records . She was concerned when she was unable to find any Azzameens listed among the prison records , but Antan implored her to keep looking . As Aeron continued her search , the " Imperial - I " class Star Destroyer " Devastator " entered the Kessel system . The " Devastator " signaled a demand for the Azzameen transports to surrender to the Empire . Antan signaled a response to the " Devastator " indicating that he had fulfilled the terms of his bargain with the Empire by delivering his other family members into their hands . The Azzameen siblings were incensed to learn that their uncle had betrayed them to save himself , and their father and brother had indeed died at the Rebel platform . As the " Devastator " launched dozens of TIE Series starfighters , a mix of basic models and interceptors , Antan Azzameen fled the scene . The Azzameen siblings scrambled to escape the Imperials , but MK - 09 ' s hyperspace calculations were complicated by the gravitational anomalies of the Maw cluster adjacent to the Kessel system . The siblings held off the Imperial starfighters for a while , but it appeared to be a hopeless situation . Then , to the great surprise of the Azzameen siblings , family friend Dunari appeared to assist in his Muurian transport , " Deadman ' s Hand " . As a former smuggler who made the Kessel Run with their father Tomaas , Dunari knew how to lead the Azzameen siblings out of the system and away from the Empire ' s wrath . Although Emon was willing to continue the engagement , Ace was eager to escape . Deferring to his younger brother ' s better judgment , Emon followed the " Otana " and " Deadman ' s Hand " away from Kessel Station . Their hyperspace course first took them to a point near Asteroid Mining Unit XP - MU 3376 and Processing Plant AL - 82673 in the Kessel system ' s asteroid field , which were guarded by Outpost AS - 27 , a hangar concealed in an asteroid . As they flew past the asteroids to the next jump point , the Azzameens and Dunari dodged laser batteries and even a flight of TIE advanced starfighters . The fleeing transports were able to evade the " Devastator " attempted pursuit , and returned to the relative safety of the Rebel fleet and the cruiser " Liberty " . Aftermath . Following their escape , Dunari swore to the Azzameens that the treacherous Antan would receive his comeuppance . However , Ace Azzameen and MK - 09 had little time for vengeance in the days immediately following their mission to Kessel . The Rebel Alliance mounted an attack against the second Death Star at Endor , and both Ace Azzameen and MK - 09 joined the assault as part of the crew of the " Millennium Falcon " . The pair survived the battle , and MK - 09 eventually made a record of their exploits , which made no mention of further actions against Antan Azzameen . Behind the scenes . The mission to Kessel Station appears only in the personal computer game " " , which was developed for LucasArts by Totally Games and released on February 28 , 1999 . There are no bonus objectives or other gameplay - based alternatives in this mission , the only objectives are to dock with Kessel Station , then to flee the situation intact . The calls it a " walk in the park . " The Kessel mission itself was not given a proper name by the source in which it appears , though the game level which includes both the mission and some of its preceding events is called " Family Reunion " by the game and its corresponding official strategy guide . This mission , as with most missions in " X - Wing Alliance " , is not specifically dated by the game or secondary sources . Its timing can only be estimated by preceding and succeeding events that have been given specific dates , but it can be pinpointed to the second half of 3 ABY . The series of missions preceding the Azzameen mission to Kessel Station , " Battle 4 : ' The Bothan Connection , ' " depicts the events leading to the raid on the " Suprosa " to acquire the Death Star II plans . This is a tie - in to the " " meta - series , which is dated to " 3 . 5 ABY " by " The New Essential Chronology " . The missions immediately following the mission to Kessel , " Battle 7 : ' The Battle of Endor , ' " are specifically dated to the beginning of 4 ABY by " The Essential Atlas " . Therefore this mission can be dated to " c . 3 . 5 – 4 ABY " Although sources such as " " identify the " Devastator " as an " Imperial - I " class Star Destroyer , " X - wing Alliance " and the Prima Games strategy guide depict it as an " Imperial - II " class Star Destroyer . This article assumes the preponderance of other sources are correct and the game is in error . " X - Wing Alliance " was included in the continuity now known as " Legends " along with most other " Star Wars " materials produced before April 25 , 2014 . As it was the final game in the " X - Wing " series and as LucasArts is now closed , the fates of Antan Azzameen and his family will likely remain unknown .
