==Plot summary==
Captain Han Solo, in the Millennium Falcon, approaches Ithor, hoping to reclaim possession of Grubba the Hutt. His passengers are Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan, Momaw Nadon, R2-D2, and C-3PO. Attempting to evade Imperial detection, he modifies the Falcon transponder to transmit the data of a diplomatic shuttle, while masquerading as the ship of Master Torturer Sir Vengnar Heiff. The Imperials allow them to approach the Tafanda Bay, a herdship that resides above Ithor's surface. Meanwhile, on the Tafanda Bay, General Olan Dewes gives Dengar, Eron Stonefield, and Udin a tour of some botanical gardens. The three bounty hunters have captured Grubba, and are keeping him safe on the herdship.
Feigning a crash so the Imperials will not be surprised when Heiff fails to appear, Solo sets the Falcon down at the Nadon Shrine. There, Nadon is reunited with his wife, Fandomar, and his son, Do-Forow. Before allowing Solo and his companions to hunt for Grubba, however, Nadon insists that they consult The Oracle. The Oracle tells the group of the plight of the Ithorians, before sending them to the Tafanda Bay. Meanwhile, on the herdship, Dewes receives word that the real Heiff will be coming to Ithor to interrogate Ithorian prisoners.
One of the Rebels is selected to accompany Nadon to the Tafanda Bay. After spending the night in the jungle, the pair encounter several dangers, including Imperial stormtroopers. Eventually, they board the Bay, where they are confronted by Ithorians sympathetic to the Empire, led by Boma Inondo. The Rebel knocks the Ithorian into a pile of berries, while the other Ithorians relent, and explain that Sir Vengnar Heiff is on board. Planning to raid the Imperial armory and start an uprising on the Bay, the Rebel and the Ithorians encounter an IG-88 assassin droid, which they destroy. Taking the Imperial weapons, the Ithorians engage the Imperials, beginning the First Battle of Ithor. Seizing the control room, General Dewes is captured, and the Alliance Fleet enters the system, driving off the Imperial presence. The Rebel then attempts to find Sir Heiff, in the prison bays. Combating the Master Torturer, the Rebel incapacitates Heiff, and leaves him to the mercy of the Ithorians. The Rebel then encounters three bounty hunters, who flee the Bay with what seems to be a sack containing Grubba. Fortunately, it only contained Grubba's dinner, and the young Hutt is found safe and alive in one of the herdship's staterooms.
Solo contacts Jabba, requesting that he meet him on Togoria to negotiate the transfer of Grubba. The Hutt crimelord agrees, but secretly informs Dengar of their rendezvous, ordering him to kill Solo upon arrival.
