Imperial Spy Imperial Spy is a five part comic written by Mike W . Barr and illustrated by Ken Steacy and Glen Mullaly , and was published in issues " # 11 - # 15 " of the " Star Wars Kids " magazine . It tells the story of an Imperial spy who stalls the Rebel Alliance ' s evacuation of Yavin 4 . Plot summary . With the new X - wings purchased from Vors Voorhorian , the Rebel Alliance plans to evacuate Yavin IV . Several months have passed since the deal with Voorhorian , but the Alliance realizes that the Empire has waited long enough . While Luke Skywalker and Vors Voorhorian are shuttling pilots up to the modified GR - 75 medium transport in which the new X - wings are stalled , a CR90 corvette , " Bail Organa " enters the system , requesting asylum . The ship lands on Yavin IV , when it is discovered that it is a refugee ship , carrying Alderaanian survivors from the late planet . Han Solo , on discovering this , orders C - 3PO not to tell Leia Organa , the former Princess of Alderaan , citing that she needed sleep after her numerous other escapades . A few days later , Lieutenant Rogor , an Alliance officer , discovers an unauthorized intrusion , and notes that someone had been though the Alliance ' s plans for re - location . Skywalker comes to the deduction that they have a spy on their hands . Leia starts berating Han for ordering that she not be woken up , and then greets the Alderaanian refugees . She is thanked by Tolok , an aristocrat and apparently the leader of the refugees . Leia then discovers a woman named Darlen amongst the crowd . Darlen and Leia had been friends back on Alderaan , and had probably not seen each other in the three years since the Destruction of Alderaan . During their reunion , Leia has an idea , and storms off towards the Yavin control room , where she " accuses " Han Solo of being the spy . Solo tries to " make a run " for it , and strikes Skywalker . Taking off in the " Millennium Falcon " , Solo patrols the skies of Yavin IV . The " accusation " had in fact been a ruse by Leia to draw the real spy into a false sense of security . Solo and Chewbacca discover an unauthorized transmission emanating from the jungle around the Massassi base . Q - 7N triangulates the readings back in the control room and leads Luke and Leia to the source . On getting to the location specified , the three of them find Tolok and Darlen in each others arms . Tolok explains that he and Darlen were married , though they had kept it a secret , because they did not feel the right to talk about their happiness with the other refugees . Meanwhile , Luke and Q - 7N scout the surroundings and find an autobeacon , which detonates upon their discovery . Han and Chewbacca , in the " Falcon " , get another signal and track it to one of the many outposts around the Massassi Temple . They try to shoot down the shadowy figure atop the outpost but miss , and the spy escapes . Back at the base , Luke offers to discover the culprit by using the Force on one of the fragments of the destroyed autobeacon . Meanwhile , Darth Vader receives a transmission from the spy , who advises him that now is the best time to strike . Vader agrees , and takes the Death Squadron to the Yavin system . The Evacuation of Yavin would begin in mere hours . While the Rebel ships were preparing for take off , Luke insisted that by using the Force , he could discover the identity of the spy . As he did so , Rogor , who had been the spy all along , burst out and tried to kill Luke , before running into the main hangar and clambering into an X - wing . Little did he know that it was one of the old X - wings , whose parts had been sacrificed to make the new X - wings operational . Rogor ' s craft crashed in a swamp near the main temple . He escaped and wandered through the jungle for several hours , before chancing upon the Imperial ground force assault led by Darth Vader . Vader , displeased by the fact that many of the Rebels had been able to evacuate , struck down Rogor with his lightsaber , and the Rebels successfully relocated to Hoth .
