STORYLINE – The Battle for Calamari

Jumping out of hyperspace, the Rebel starships led by Lando and Wedge, blast their way through the defensive Imperial blockade into Calamari’s orbit. Rebel fighters are deployed for low altitude assault on the World Devastators. The Devastators answer back with a wave of highly advanced robotic Tie Fighters. It seems that the battle is about to end in a draw, when suddenly, a Devastators comes into orbit, and targets the Rebel Star Destroyer for assimilation. Lando and Wedge prepare to evacuate.

On Pinnacle Moon, Leia reaches out to Luke telepathically, only to find that he has turned to the Dark Side. A vision of Palpatine interrupts the conversation, saying the Luke has no hope of breaking his grip. The psychic backlash knocks Leia out. Later, while recuperating, Leia says that Luke has turned to the Dark Side, and she needs to save him. Mon Mothma agrees, saying that Luke is the last surviving Jedi Knight, and all hope rests on him. Han agrees to ferry her to Byss.
