The battle was a major victory for the Alliance when Rebel pilot Luke Skywalker managed to successfully destroy the battlestation . Sometime following the Battle of Yavin , Muse returned to Corellia . By that point , he was once again a member of the militia in the city of Bela Vistal , and he played the kloo horn in a militia band known as the Fighting 357th Serenaders . Around this time , Muse and his fellow band members went on a training exercise out in the wilds . After they returned to base , Muse discovered that he had forgotten his kloo horn . Vincol Dunker , one of his bandmates , went to retrieve the kloo horn , but he got lost in the wilderness . Fortunately for Muse , he encountered a spacer who was willing to help . Muse asked the spacer to find the band member and his kloo horn , so that he would not get in trouble with his commander . The spacer agreed , and successfully set out to find Dunker , bringing him and the kloo horn safely back to Muse in Bela Vistal in return for 750 credits . However , Muse required more assistance from the spacer . When Dunker was brought back to Bela Vistal , he gave Muse a datadisc with a new arrangement of the popular anthem " Corellia Ho ! " , which Muse had promised to deliver to Pytor Tuko , the band leader of the Battling 166th Troubadours . Muse had completely forgotten about the arrangement , and he could not deliver the datadisc himself , as he had to wait in town for new militia orders . Muse asked the spacer to deliver it for him , offering payment in return . After hearing Muse recite a portion of the tune , the spacer agreed to carry out the task . After finding Tuko and giving him the datadisc , the spacer returned to Muse and was awarded with 1 , 000 credits .

" disc to Pytor Tuko . When the spacer pressed Muse by asking him why he forgot his kloo horn , he answered defensively that herding a pack of wayward Serenaders out in the middle of nowhere was no easy task . He also had a penchant for making jokes , such as when he implied to the spacer that the safety of his kloo horn was more important than that of his fellow band member , Vincol Dunker .
