Princess Leia, C-3PO, R2-D2 and the rebellion's finance minister Viscount Tardi travel to the banking world of Aargau to obtain financing for X-wing fighters. While there, they encounter Darth Vader and several professional assassins whose job is to prevent the loan from going through. Encounter after encounter all end favorably for Leia, until Vader asks to meet them in secret. They meet and tardi is goaded into attacking Vader who promptly kills him, but Leia reveals that Tardi was a droid replica and the real Tardi had died several months ago. She explains that the loan was already approved, using the crown jewels of Alderaan as collateral, expecting Vader to be disappointed that he lost. He then explains that he knew about Tardi all along and he doesn't care about the X-wings. His real objective was to obtain the crown jewels of Alderaan, which he has succeeded at thanks to a corrupt banking official.
