Plot summary

The episode opens with Nash Durango traveling with Kai Brightstar, Nubs, and Lys Solay aboard the Crimson Firehawk following a successful mission to acquire a Jedi holocron. Durango says that it was an amazing mission and that she can't believed that they recovered a valuable Jedi artifact. Nubs says something in agreement Brightstar says that he can't wait to learn more about Jedi history from it. Solay agrees but says that they will first have to get it back to Tenoo where it belongs. She uses the Force to levitate the holocron.

Brightstar compliments Durango as the best pilot in the Outer Rim Territories. Durango chuckles before complimenting RJ-83, her copilot droid. The droid beeps as they exit out of hyperspace in an asteroid field surrounding Tenoo. However, they are contacted via hologram by Taborr Val Dorn and his pirate gang, which consists of the droid EB-3 and Pord. Val Dorn demands the Jedi holocron, hoping to add it to his collection. Solay disagrees but Val Dorn vows to take it for himself.

Durango attempts to lose the Iron Talon in the asteroid field. Taborr gives chase. RJ warns of the danger but Durango reassures him that they can get through this by working on the team. While Brightstar mans the cannons and Solay keeps an eye on the asteroids, Nubs is tasked with guarding the holocron. Durango takes the ship for a spin and dives behind Taborr's ship.

EB-3 informs Taborr that the Firehawk is behind them. Taborr takes his ship for a spin and dives behind the Firehawk. With the Firehawk approaching two large asteroids, Durango gets Brightstar to blast a path through the asteroids. The Firehawk narrowly escapes being swallowed by a space slug. Durango manages to fly the ship through the creature's jaws.

With Taborr still in pursuit, Durango leads the pirates through the asteroid field. While the Firehawk passes through safely, Taborr's ship is struck by asteroid debris, causing it to spin out of control. Brightstar and Durango are jubilant but the Firehawk hits some asteroid debris, causing the ship to spin out of control. With great difficulty, Durango manages to land the Firehawk outside the Jedi Temple on Tenoo. After disembarking, RJ does a victory dance while the dizzy younglings walk down the walkway. Despite their initial worries, Nubs emerges with the holocron in good condition. The younglings compliment each other for their teamwork.
