Writer: Roy Thomas and Howard Chaykin
Consulting Editor: Archie Goodwin

Synopsis: Han Solo, Chewbacca and the Star-Hoppers arrive at Ramiz’s village of Onacra, only to find it under attack by flying High-hounds. They repel the beasts, saving the life of a young girl named Merri to the great relief of her father Oncho, the village spokesman. But their relief is short-lived as Serji-X and his gang attack; the Star-Hoppers valiantly defend the village from the attack, but not without cost.
Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker informs Leia Organa that he has found a new location for the Rebel Alliance base in the Drexel system, but the transmission suddenly ends, and a worried Leia sets out to find Luke.
