Plot summary

On a Mon Cala island, Leia, Han, Luke, and their droids meet with Grand Admiral Urtya of the Mon Cala Mercantile Fleet. Han, who had smuggled them into the restricted nature zone, is confident they can handle any trouble. However, an Imperial patrol ship fires on their location, and their ship is destroyed. As stormtroopers chase them through the woods, Leia continues to brief Urtya, explaining that with the Death Star gone, now is the time to disrupt the Empire. She tells him that the Rebellion needs the Mon Cala fleet, the greatest merchant fleet in the galaxy, and that they can be refitted into warships and hidden across the galaxy.

Urtya struggles with the decision to put his people in danger, and the heroes ultimately leave without his commitment. As they pilot the Millennium Falcon to a Rebel production center, a dejected Leia worries about the future of the Rebellion without the Mon Calamari fleet. With a sudden idea, she has C-3PO contact Queen Trios, asking her to grant them access to a high-security Imperial prison system to break out a king.
