Story Synopsis:

After the award ceremony on Yavin 4, Han Solo and Chewbacca head out to pay their debt to Jabba the Hutt when they're attacked by pirates led by Crimson Jack! With their reward money from the Rebel Alliance stolen, the smugglers decide to lay low on the planet Aduba-3. There, they take a job defending a moisture farmer from a local gang known as the Cloud-Riders. However, they can’t defend the village alone so they hire several mercenaries, including Jaxxon!

During the Cloud Rider attack, The Behemoth, a giant reptilian monster, is summoned and Han Solo may be the village's only hope for survival.

This arc was written by Roy Thomas, Howard Chaykin, and Donald F. Glut. Artwork by Howard Chaykin, Frank Springer, Tom Palmer, Alan Kupperberg.
