Mission to Duroon

"What'd I tell you? Inspiration's my specialty!"

- Han Solo

Synopsis
Being low on credits, Han Solo and Chewbacca accepted a contract from Ploovo Two-For-One to deliver 1000 carbine energy rifles deep into a steer-clear zone in the Corporate Sector. As the pair entered the orbit of Duroon, their sensors picked up a Corporate Sector Authority lighter, which had just taken off from an Authority installation on the far side of the planet. In an effort to evade the lighter, Han attempted a risky dive, deep into the atmospere of Duroon. The Millenium Falcon leveled off low to the ground, above a magma fissure, which would hide them from the lighter's sensors. Flying low and hoping to avoid detection, Han flew towards the mountains. Surprised by a narrow cleft, he had to use some fancy flying to save the ship. In the process, the Millenium Falcon lost her long-range sensor dish.

After setting down, Han and Chewbacca were met by the contract-slaves-turned-insurgents, who were to receive the weapons. They unloaded the hold and then tried to repair the sensor dish, to no avail. As they attempted a "blind" lift-off, they were hit by a tractor beam from the waiting lighter. In a daring move, Han went head-to-head with the Authority ship trying to break the tractor beam. The lighter made a last minute evasive maneuver to avoid the Falcon, which enable Han and Chewbacca to escape.
