Raid on the Kessel mines
Warning: this entry reveals minor plot details.
To pay off Dryden Vos, the crew aboard Lando Calrissian's Millennium Falcon infiltrates the Pyke syndicate's mines posing as slavers and slaves. The droid L3-37 removes the restraining bolts from the local droids and starts a slave uprising, while Han carries twelve canisters of unrefined coaxium out of the thermal vault. During the escape, L3-37 is destroyed by enemy fire and Lando is wounded.
Description
To pay for the cargo lost on Vandor, Beckett's gang undertook to obtain coaxium on Kessel, where the mines belonged to the Dawn Star organization and were worked by forced labor. The job required a fast ship, and the participants turned to the gambler Lando Calrissian, who owned the Millennium Falcon; he agreed in exchange for a share, and his droid assistant joined the crew. The infiltration was arranged under the guise of a legitimate deal: part of the crew posed as traders and guards, while the rest made their way into the underground levels to the storerooms. The plan was disrupted by the droid, which incited the slaves and worker droids to revolt against the overseers. In the ensuing chaos the participants reached the storeroom and carried off the necessary quantity of coaxium, losing part of the crew and the droid in the process. The fuel they obtained proved to be unrefined and extremely unstable: without immediate processing it threatened to explode. This circumstance forced the crew to choose the shortest and most dangerous route off the planet, while the uprising in the mines inflicted significant losses on their owners.
