A Rebel mission to Foundry with the objective to steal the Staraker, a brand new assault craft the Empire had been producing, resulted in a small skirmish fought between the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
Lead-up
Mici Shabandar, R2-D2, and C-3PO were already stationed on Foundry when Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker attempted to infiltrate the starship manufacturing facility.
The battle
When passing a checkpoint, Mici and the droids were found out as spies and a battle soon erupted. Luke and Leia joined in while the Stormtroopers were distracted. They were soon cornered at the launch bay and made a run for it. In the hangar, everyone boarded the Staraker. Leia held off the Stormtroopers when she was hit by a blaster bolt. She was then carried aboard by Mici. The strike team made it out of Foundry, blasting their way out of the hangar and entering hyperspace before the nearby fleet elements could react.
Aftermath
While in space, the crew got a transmission from General Jan Dodonna who informed them that since they were close to the Alashan system, they were asked to go and investigate several mysterious disappearances on Alashan.
