Summary: Shortly After the events of The Crystal Star, Han pays a visit to Shug Ninx, who has disturbing news about the Republic's plans to honour an old flame and her squadron
Chapter 1: Return To Nar ShaddaaHan pulled himself out of his bunk; he could hear Chewie yelling from the cockpit that they had arrived. "I'll be up there in a minute, keep your fur on," he said as he groggily made his way towards the cockpit. When he arrived, he glanced at the course Chewie had plotted, and then turned on the ship's comm and said, "This is Captain Han Solo of the Millennium Falcon requesting permission to land at Shug's Space Barn".
"Millennium Falcon this is Shug Ninx welcome back Han, please tell me you're not being chased by bounty hunters again," Shug joked.
"No way, Shug," Han replied "Luke wanted Leia and the kids to take a vacation at the academy for a few days, so I decided to take off and visit some old friends."
"Glad to here it," Shug replied "by the way, before I forget, Salla told me to tell you that the next time you need a ship she is not here."
"Come on, Shug, you're not telling me she's still sore about losing the Starlight Intruder, is she," Han guessed.
"Oh yeah, Han, better keep your distance from her. By the way, have you heard the rumour about Red Hand?" Shug asked.
"Nope, should I have?" Han asked.
"Well, maybe we should take this conversation up when we can't be listened to," Shug suggested.
"Whatever you say Shug, I'm coming in," Han said as he began his descent. All he could think about was how something about a dead girlfriend of his could make Shug so secretive.
As Han landed the Falcon, about twenty smugglers approached the landing pad, each with a look of pure determination on their faces. When Han exited the Falcon, he was shocked to discover that he recognised most of them, and that at the lead of the pack was none other then Talon Karrde, the leader and creator of the Smugglers Alliance. Whatever was going on must be big, if Karrde was there, assuming this wasn't just a social call. With Karrde that was very unlikely, although Han had figured one thing out; this was going to be an interesting day.
