Raid on Kessel

During the reign of the Galactic Empire, the criminal Tobias Beckett and his outlaw crew went on a mission in 10 BBY to the spice mine of Kessel in an attempt to retrieve raw coaxium for the crime lord Dryden Vos of the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate. The crew was able to succesfully complete the mission and evaded Imperial forces that pursued them after the theft. As a result of the Imperial pursuit, Han Solo found a shortcut through the Akkadese Maelstrom and completed the Kessel Run in a record-breaking twelve parsecs.
