Synopsis:
On the Executor, Bossk is introduced to the
Wookiee bounty hunter Chenlambec and his human
apprentice Tinian I’att. The two promise the
Trandoshan inside information on where Han and Chewbacca
are heading for the Lomabu system. Problem is, they do
not know exactly where that is. After some haggling,
Bossk agrees to try it and bring them along. What he
does not know is Chenlambec is on a mission for Kashyyyk
- not only to help Chewbacca escape, but humiliate and
shame this infamous Wookiee-killer. They take off in
Bossk’s brand new ship, the Hound’s Tooth,
and the two hunters having brought aboard some huge
crates. They try hacking into the Hound’s Tooth
computer with the help of a mini-droid named Flirt -
only they are on a mattress rigged with hidden syringes
of sedatives. Bossk takes the opportunity to drain their
weapons, then sets course for their first stop - a
Wookiee outpost in the Aida system.
Three and a half days later, they wake up as the ship
arrives at the outpost. Chenlambec learns from a
transmission that Wookiees are being held prisoner at
Lomabu (the coordinates are provided) as a trap for the
Rebels. The Hound’s Tooth heads there. With
Flirt’s help, Tinian makes her way into the cargo bay
for some recon work. After Chen does his own spy work,
it’s decided to pit Bossk against Imperial Governor Io
Desnand of Lomabu. They arrive, where Bossk picks up
what appears to be the Millennium Falcon. Tinian
and Chen are sent out on the scout ship Nashtah Pup to
find Solo’s likely avenues of escape. Once launched,
Tinian contacts Desnand and warns her that Bossk is
coming to scalp the prisoners. Chen calls the prisoners
themselves, then lands the Pup and races to the prison
camp, helping to stage a firefight. They return to the Hound
bearing two freshly dead Wookiee corpses. Bossk
cheerfully skins the corpses, then plans to attack the
prison and doublecross his “partners.” He tricks
them into flying the Pup, rigged with gas that will
cripple them and a weapon that will torch the whole
place. They barely discover the deception in time and
fires the weapon at the sun. The Wookiee slaves revolt
at the camp, Flirt manages to take control of the Tooth,
and the two hunters return to find Bossk locked up in
his own meat locker. They proudly deliver Bossk to
Desnand. They then take the Tooth, carrying the
freed Wookiees to Aida while Bossk finds himself a short
distance away from being skinned himself. |
