Chapter 1: Surprise in the Maw

The sound of the quad lasers from the dorsal turret of the Millennium Falcon was a comforting sound for the Wookiee Chewbacca. Knowing that Han was up there, shooting back at the pursuing TIE fighters, was reassuring, but the looming Star Destroyer erased whatever calm Han's return fire may have done. They were skimming dangerously close to the Maw, a collection of black holes near the Kessel system, where the pair had just picked up a load of spice for transport to Tattooine. Unfortunately, they had also picked up an Imperial battle group, which had immediately attacked them, but seeming to try to herd them away from the Maw, leading Chewie to wonder what he and Han had stumbled into.

Han's voice came over the ship's internal comm unit. "Chewie, we're coming up on that safe route, try and slip in, maybe we can lose them that way."

"Hrnnnnnn!"

A voice came over the comm. "Millennium Falcon, this is the Imperial Star Destroyer Anathema. You have entered a restricted area without permission. Surrender immediately."

Han slid into the pilot's seat beside Chewie. "I'm going to have to have a few words with Jabba about that ID; they sliced it like it wasn't even there. Give me the controls, I'll take us in. That microjump laid in?"

"Hrrrnnn."

"Good. Here goes nothing."

Han swung the ship around to align their course with the vector provided by the navicomputer, then pulled the lever back and the stars stretched into lines for a few seconds, then reverted abruptly.

"What the…" Han's curse trailed off. Directly ahead was a large web of… something, glowing with energy as power pulsed through it. "Turn us around, Chewie, let's get out of here!" Chewie definitely agreed with that idea, but before either of them could do anything, the web's glowing suddenly intensified, then leaped out in an electrical arc at the Falcon. The viewscreen flashed brilliant white, then Chewie and Han felt a tingling sensation, as if they were being electrocuted, which ended almost before it had begun.

When the viewscreen cleared, they looked around, Han outside the ship and Chewie at the sensors. They were clearly no longer in the Maw. Outside the Falcon lay a blue-and-green planet with a single moon.

"Where are we, Chewie?" Wordlessly, Chewie pointed at the sensors. "'Not in any known space'? What is that supposed to mean?" Chewbacca replied that he certainly didn't know. Worried, Han began digging through the flimsiplast star charts that he always carried, just in case the navicomputer fizzed out, as it apparently had. He was interrupted by a male voice coming from the comm.

"Unknown ship, this is MIB headquarters. Welcome to Earth. As we are unfamiliar with your ship's design, we will assume we've never heard of you before, and the same of us might be true for you, so allow us to introduce ourselves. We are the Men in Black. We are essentially the intergalactic Customs agency of this planet, and are in charge of monitoring all extra-terrestrial activity on Earth. Please follow the beacon we are activating for you, and MIB agents will meet you when you land. Do not take any hostile actions or you will be destroyed. Do not attempt to contact anyone else on the planet. MIB out."
