==Plot summary==
===Inaya's secret starship===
Nash Durango and RJ-83 deliver supplies to Princess Inaya on her homeworld. Inaya thanks Durango, saying that these supplies will be essential to the library's opening ceremony tonight. Inaya is impressed by the changes to Durango's Crimson Firehawk. Durango invites her for a spin on the Firehawk but the butler droid PD-4 reminds Inaya of her duties as a princess. Inaya expresses agreement and asks PD-4 to take over with managing the supplies while she attends to her royal duties.
While PD-4 is preoccupied, she shows Durango and RJ-83 her personal starship, which she built it. Inaya tells Durango and RJ-83 that this starship is her secret and that she intends to fly to the library's opening ceremony in it. She wants to show her subjects that she is more than a princess. Inaya invites Durango and RJ083 on a test flight. Unknown to Inaya and her friends, PD-4 follows them aboard the ship's cockpit. When he asks her what she is doing on the starship, Inaya tells the butler droid that she intended to unveil her starship at the opening ceremony tonight. Durango adds that they were planning to take the ship on a test fight.
===A complicated test fight===
PD-4 reminds Inaya that she has to return to the Palace for her princess duties. Inaya disagrees and uses her authority as the princess to insist on doing the test flight. She promises that they will be back in time for the library opening. PD-4 relents on the condition that he accompany them on their test flight. Inaya takes her starship on a hyperspace jump to a nearby planet covered with canyons. As she flies through the canyons, Durango is impressed by the ship's ion compressors and steering. While chatting with Durango, Inaya is distracted narrowly avoids missing a pillar of rock. 
The sudden maneuver causes the ion compressor to malfunction. Inaya's ship loses control and scrapes its port side against the canyon. The ship crashlands in the canyon. Though the crew and passengers are safe, the ship's ion compressor has broken down. When Durango remarks that they are stranded, PD-4 says this is why princesses should stick to their station. Durango discovers that the comms are down. Inaya is despondent about missing the library's opening ceremony but Durango reassures her friend that they will find a way to get home. Consulting the ship's navigational computer, Durango discovers that there is a trading outpost nearby which might sell the starship parts they need. Durango encourages Inaya while PD-4 insists on coming.
===Negotiations===
At the trading outpost, Inaya speaks to a Toong vendor, who is unwilling to sell parts to princesses "playing pretend." PD-4 advises them to find another merchant but Durango speaks up for Inaya, insisting that she is a mechanic and a ship builder. The Toong merchant asks her to prove herself by repairing a starship component. Inaya shows him the list of starship components and the Toong vendor willingly complies. 
===Double trouble===
Returning to their crash site, they discover a Tow ship towing away Inaya's starship. The Nautolan pilot of the tow ship is listening to music through his earpods and can't hear them. With the towing ship preparing to lift off, the four climb aboard the ship's deck. Inaya tasks PD-4 and RJ-83 with removing the magclamp while she and Durango repairs her ship's ion compressor so they can escape. At the tow ship's magclamp, PD-4 doubts his abilities due to his programming as a royal assistant droid. However, RJ-83 convinces him to try. 
Meanwhile, Inaya and Durango reach her starship's cockpit. Inaya tells Durango to hand her the hydrospanner and the new optical coolign cable. Back on the tow ship's canopy, the two droids struggle to release the magclamp until RJ-83 discovers a button than unlocks the clamp. Back in her starship, Inaya finds that the ion compressor is more difficult to repair and thinks that she should stick to "princes stuff." Durango encourages her by telling that she is more than a princess. PD-4 and RJ-83 arrive with the good news that they have unlocked the magclamp. PD-4 tries to take credit for it. 
Durango asks how long it will take for them to finish the ion compressor since the princess's starship is no longer attached to the tow ship. Just then, the unsecured ship slips off the deck of the tow ship and descends into the canyon planet's atmosphere. Inaya is despondent but PD-4 encourages her to give it another try. PD-4 helps her to repair the ion compressor just in time for Durango to regain control of the ship and avoid crashing into the canyon. The friends celebrate as they fly their starship back into space.
===The opening ceremony===
At the library opening ceremony, Inaya's mother asks where their daughter is. Inaya's father adds that they cannot open the library without her. Just then, Inaya arrives in her starship, much to the surprise of her parents and the assembled crowd. Inaya greets her parents. Her mother asks where she went while her father asks about the ship. Inaya tells her parents that this is her starship which she built. She apologizes for being late due to a complicated test flight. PD-4 speaks up for Inaya, describing her as an impressive mechanic. Inaya apologizes to her parents. 
Inaya's mother says that she knows about her daughter's secret mechanical hobby since she comes home everyday smelling like engine grease. Inaya's father is also aware and says that he bought his daughter's first tool set when she was three years old. Inaya's mother accepts her daughter as both a princess and mechanic. After hugging her, Inaya joins her parents in opening the library. While walking to the front of the library, Inaya thanks her friend Durango. Durango offers to help. PD-4 offers his services as a mechanic's assistant. She, her parents, Durango, RJ-83 and PD-4 then open the library.
