"They were supposed to have a homing beacon for us! I only hope nothing's gone wrong in the time we were delayed!"
―Princess Leia Organa[3]

The Kingdom of Ice! was the first installment of The Kingdom of Ice, published in Pizzazz 10 in July 1978. The entire story arc was reprinted in the UK in Star Wars Weekly 57–60 in 1979.

Plot summary

Fresh from their ordeal on the Keeper's World, Princess Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, and R2-D2 finally arrive on Akuria II to complete their mission to the Akuria Rebel base. When the expected homing beacon does not appear on the scanners of their scout craft, Leia suspects something has gone wrong.

Those suspicions are proved correct when an Imperial TIE Fighters appears to shoot them down. Thanks to Leia's marksmanship and Luke's fancy flying they are able to land their scout craft in Akuria II's Polar Wastes in one piece. Just as the remaining TIE Fighter is coming around for another attack run, it is destroyed by a laser cannon, leaving Leia and Luke to hope that their Rebel contacts had finally arrived.

Notes and references

  1. ↑ Pizzazz 10
  2. ↑ "The Keeper's World" and "The Kingdom of Ice" depict the Rebel Alliance still occupying their base on Yavin 4 after the Battle of Yavin, meaning that the stories must fall between Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope and the Evacuation of Yavin as shown in "Doom Mission". The New Essential Chronology dates the Battle of Yavin and Evacuation of Yavin to 0 ABY and 0.5 ABY respectively.
