" For a cool ten thousand credits , Han and Chewbacca will do just about anything — except transport slaves . For one thing , it means an instant death sentence . So when a high - paying cargo shipment turns out to be a consignment of Lurrian slaves , Han and Chewie have to think fast . But Han forms a plan to turn the tables on the slavers and free the captives . Then , good deed accomplished , he scours the skies for the nasty joker who set him up — because revenge can be so sweet . " Plot summary . After a string of unsuccessful smuggling ventures in the Corporate Sector , Han Solo and his Wookiee copilot , Chewbacca , quit that part of space . Down on their luck after a botched smuggling run on the Rampa Rapids , Han Solo and Chewbacca found themselves on the planet Kamar , showing holodocumentaries to the natives . They soon realized they weren ' t cut out for legitimate work , and found themselves nearly broke , with no prospects in sight . In these dire straits , Han and Chewie accepted a job offer from an anonymous employer to fly blind for a cool ten thousand credits . However , after flying the " Millennium Falcon " to the planet Lur for the pickup , they discovered that the cargo was a load of slaves — something neither Han nor Chewbacca had any tolerance for . Some fast thinking by their two droids , Bollux and Blue Max , provided the two with an opportunity to turn the tables on the slavers ' attempt to commandeer the Falcon , and escape with both their lives and their ship . As far as Han Solo was concerned , somebody still owed them for their trouble . So they set out to track down the recipients of their intended cargo to get their money one way or another . Han Solo and Chewbacca set a course for the planet Bonadan , where the slavers ' leader , Zlarb , was to meet his contact for payment . Instead of the contact , however , they crossed paths with Fiolla , an assistant auditor - general employed by the Corporate Sector Authority . She was also following a lead on a group of slavers operating within the Corporate Sector , and convinced Han that his only chance of getting paid was to aid her in tracking down the slavery ring . During their investigations on Bonadan , Han and Fiolla discovered that Authority executives may be involved in the slavery ring . In the meantime , Chewbacca foils the attempted repossession of the " Millennium Falcon " by a Tynnan skip tracer named Spray . After reading Zlarb ' s data plaque , the group made plans to travel to the planet Ammuud , to investigate the slavers ' connection to the shipping firm of one of the governing clans there . Unfortunately for them , the slavers were watching Fiolla and were keeping their eyes on Han and Chewbacca now , as well . Due to some unfortuitous circumstances with the slavers watching the " Falcon " , Han and Fiolla are unable to board the ship , and the two smugglers are forced to split up . Chewbacca , Spray , and the droids lifted off in the " Falcon " , while Han and Fiolla were forced to seek passage on a passenger liner . En route to Ammuud , the hull of the " Millennium Falcon " was compromised by a sleeper bomb placed by the slavers on Bonadan . The crew had to make an emergency landing in the mountains on Ammuud . Prior to planetfall , however , Spray sent the two droids to the spaceport in a lifeboat , in search of Captain Solo . Meanwhile , the liner that Han Solo and Fiolla were aboard was hijacked in transit by the slavers , in an effort to capture the pair . The couple was able to escape detection in a lifeboat of their own , and arrived on Ammuud with the hope of uncovering the evidence Fiolla needed to implicate the high - ranking Authority officials in the slavery ring . After Han had befriended the Mor Glayyd , by foiling the plot of Gallandro to harm the clan leader , he was furnished with the permission and the repair parts to search for his missing copilot and starship . After finding Chewie and the " Falcon " , making repairs and raising ship , the crew was beset by the slavers once again . It was the Corporate Sector Authority and Gallandro who came to their rescue , however . The gunman was actually coming to the aid of his superior , Spray , who was in fact the Corporate Sector Authority ' s Territorial Administrator Odumin , working undercover to expose the slaver ring and the corruption within the Authority . Despite the circumstances , Han Solo and Chewbacca were to be placed under arrest for previous crimes committed against the Corporate Sector Authority . In a daring attempt to escape incarceration , the pair of smugglers kidnapped the Authority administrator , and were able to barter for their freedom and collect their payment at long last .
