Lando Calrissian and the Flamewind of Oseon Lando Calrissian and the Flamewind of Oseon was the second book in " The Lando Calrissian Adventures " . Publisher ' s summary . A solar system with little more than luxury hotels catering to the underemployed filthy - rich , the Oseon was every gambler ' s dream come true . And so it was for Lando Calrissian , gambler , rogue , and con - " artiste " . Until he broke the gambler ' s cardinal rule : never beat a cop at high - stake games of chance . Soon Lando and his feckless five - armed robot companion were being stalked by two enemies — one they knew but could not see , and one they saw but did not recognize . . . until it was too late . Plot summary . Following their adventures in the Rafa system , Lando Calrissian and his droid companion , Vuffi Raa , lifted - off from Rafa IV with a hold full of valuable life - crystal s . After the sale of the crystals and with a decent stake , Lando decided to attempt the honest occupation of free - lance freighter captain . Not counting the difficult issues of filling out landing - permit forms , going over bills of lading , and figuring overhead and profit margins , plus a nearly fatal pirate attack , Calrissian yearned to practice his original profession again . So , while on Dilonexa XXIII after a failed delivery , he jumped at the chance when he received an invitation from Lob Doluff , Administrator Senior of the Oseon system , to play sabacc in the credit rich asteroid belt . As an added pleasure , he would be arriving just prior to the seasonal event known as Flamewind . Unbeknownst to Lando and Vuffi Raa , Rokur Gepta was also making his way to the Oseon in an attempt to exact revenge on Calrissian for his treachery in the Rafa system . As the pair made their way to Oseon 6845 , the " Millennium Falcon " experienced a bit of misfortune . An explosion rocked the underside of the starship , and it was discovered that a bomb was placed there on their previous stop on Dilonexa . After repairing the damage , the crew made a safe planetfall in the Oseon . Vuffi Raa discovered a second explosive device on the ship shortly after touch - down , alertly defusing it , averting disaster . During a particularly lucrative turn at the gaming table , Calrissian received word that his ship was on fire . When Lando reached the space terminal , he realized there was nothing wrong with the " Falcon " . As he turned to leave , he was set upon by an unknown assailant . After a brief struggle , Lando was able to dispatch his attacker using his concealed stingbeam . Lando Calrissian was starting to believe that someone or something was out to get them . Thinking his actions an act of self - defense and fearing no punishment , he promptly reported the incident . Doluff and his peacekeeper assistant , Bassi Vobah , agreed with the charge of self - defense , but the Oseon system exercised a strict no - weapons statute , punishable by death . Requiring the service of an independent pilot , Lob Doluff offered Lando Calrissian a deal as an alternative to execution . It had been discovered that Bohhuah Mutdah , an extremely wealthy inhabitant of the Oseon , received an illegal shipment of lesai every season during Flamewind , when it was forbidden to travel within the system . The radiation that accompanied Flamewind was a detriment to navigation and life support systems . Nevertheless , Lando was to act as the supplier , and transport Bassi Vobah along with Imperial narcotics agent , Waywa Fybot , to Oseon 5792 . After the deal was made , the two law - enforcement officers would arrest Mutdah , and Lando would be free to depart the Oseon with all his belongings , including his winnings . During the trip from the sixth to fifth belt , the crew of the " Millennium Falcon " and her passengers were set upon by a ragged squadron of two dozen starfighters . After some respectable flying , Calrissian was able to evade the bandits , dispatching a pair of them . Finding a crevasse on an unpopulated asteroid , Lando and Vuffi Raa were able to set down to affect repairs and strengthen the " Falcon ' s " shields . Unfortunately , the fighters discovered the crevice in their search for the starship . Employing a tactic which detonated part of the rock , Lando Calrissian destroyed all but five of attacking fighters . They retreated and the " Millennium Falcon " was able to continue it ' s journey to 5792 . The four adventurers made an uneventful landing on Oseon 5742 , where Calrissian was promptly escorted , with his vacuum - wrapped parcel , to Bohhuah Mutdah . Shortly after introductions were made , Vobah and Fybot burst in and attempted to arrest Mutdah . The narcotics agent promptly eliminated his colleague , to shelter the entrepreneur . It was soon discovered that Waywa Fybot was in league with Mutdah , who promised the avian a discharge from his duties , in exchange for protection . To Lando ' s confusion , Bohhuah Mutdah shot and killed the Quor ' sav , and his obese form was immediately transformed into that of Rokur Gepta . Things were finally beginning to make sense . During a session of torture by chagrin , Calrissian discovered it was Gepta who made his life as a tramp freighter captain difficult . Raising rates , lowering resale prices ; even arranging the harassment and death of Bohhuah Mutdah , and his subsequent replacement , was part of Gepta ' s scheme . Apparently , the vengeance Rokur Gepta knew no bounds . As Gepta prepared Calrissian for another round of torture , the habitation dome of Bohhuah Mutdah was compromised by a strafing run by the five remaining fighter - craft Lando previously encountered . While the Sorcerer of Tund was distracted by the attack , the gambler made quick his escape , and was able to work his way back to the spaceport and raise ship . Manning the " Falcon ' s " quad - guns with Vuffi Raa at the controls , Lando engaged the enemy . The pair finished off three and scattered the last two . Seeing that one of the fighters was disabled and adrift , the droid suggested a rescue of the pilot . As the aged soldier was brought onboard , it was discovered that he was Klyn Shanga , a Renatasian and the flight - leader of the squadron who accused the droid of being the destroyer of their world . After pleading his case , and in an effort to exhibit clemency , Vuffi Raa suggested that he and Lando allocate a portion of the profit from their recent exploits to Renatasia . In true rogue fashion , Lando responded by trussing up his prisoner , replying , " . . . forget it . I ' m going to enjoy being rich . " Cover gallery .
