At Endor, the Emperor arrives and relieves Birra Seah of command, but Vader tells her that he will protect her. Luke and Leia go to Tatooine so he can pay his respects to his aunt and uncle, and Luke tells her of his plan to infiltrate Bircher's Star Destroyer and plant a bug to help find out where Bircher is getting his information from. She agrees, and Luke and Wedge fly a ship in allowing themselves to get captured with Prithi sneaking in behind them as backup. On his Star Destroyer, Bircher welcomes a new crew member, Birra Seah, while at the Rebel fleet Leia leaves on her own to find her forces a new safe harbor. On the Star Destroyer Devastator, Wedge Antilles and Luke Skywalker are taken to the detention cells, from which they promptly escape using Luke's smuggled in lightsaber. They release the other prisoners as a distraction and make their way to the data core, where they will infect the computers with a worm and hopefully root out their spy. Elsewhere, as Leia Organa leaves the fleet, she flies to the Alderaan system to leave a remembrance, according to a relatively new tradition. While she is there, she is hailed from an old Venator cruiser called the Resolute. Accepting the captain's invitation, she boards. On Coruscant, Han Solo is trying to escape the planet disguised in a garbage freighter, but is being pursued by both Slave I and Hound's Tooth. Chewbacca and he split up, with Chewie taking the Millennium Falcon and Han and Perla taking the garbage ship, and while Chewie tries to evade Hound's Tooth on the planets, Han is forced to crash land on a Golan orbital defense platform, with Slave I. At the Alderaan system, Leia Organa boards the Resolute and meets its lone crewmember, who has set his ship up as a museum to the loss of his homeworld. While he is getting something, Leia snoops through his library and learns that he is Tag Rogaren, the man who designed the superlaser array on the Death Star. Leia pulls her blaster and prepares to execute him, and he asks simply that she ensure his ship and everything in it is preserved. Onboard the Devastator Wedge Antilles and Luke Skywalker fight there way to the data core and Birra Seah discovers who Luke is and reports to Darth Vader. Vader tells her it is her job to detain Luke at all costs and deliver him to Vader. At Coruscant, Boba Fett leaves his ship to face Han, and Chewie arrives in the Millennium Falcon just as Perla damages the Golan's attitude controls, causing it to begin to crash. In the Alderaan system, Leia Organa decides that she can't pull the trigger on the man who designed the weapon that destroyed her home, and as she leaves she plants a beacon on the Resolute so that the Rebellion can find it and prosecute Tag Rogaren for his crimes. On Coruscant, Han Solo, Chewbacca and Perla shake Boba Fett off the Millennium Falcon as they proceed to a location specified by Perla, And Fett vows that there is nowhere Han can hide from him. At the Rebel fleet, Prithi returns and reports to Mon Mothma that the Devastator is on it's way, so they better prepare. When it arrives, it launches it's squadrons of TIE Interceptors, including Wedge Antilles and Luke Skywalker in disguise. As the Rebel fleet is disabled by the Devastator Leia Organa returns and begins to preps her squadron. The Rebels prepare their stand as Colonel Bircher's TIE Interceptors close to attack distance and Wedge Antilles and Luke Skywalker make a break for it and return to their hangar. On the Devastator, Birra Seah realizes she has lost her chance to capture Luke for Darth Vader and decides she would rather spend her life on the run from him than face his wrath. After their Escape from Coruscant, Perla takes Han Solo to a place she has been stashing things she stole off Coruscant and shows himall the weapons she has, asking only to be paid for them as well as a job in the Alliance. Back at the fleet, Leia's squadron engages the TIE's, doing well in the fight, when Bircher contacts Mon Mothma and hands over the command override codes for the Imperial Fleet. He lands on Home One and is greeted by Mon Mothma herself, his aunt, as the shields and weapons on the Devastator power down. At Endor, Darth Vader receives word of the failures of Birra Seah and Bircher, and fumes at being sidelined. In the aftermath of the battle, the Devastator makes it's escape, and Mon Mothma explains to Leia Organa that Kell Bircher was inserted into the Empire in the confusion after the destruction of the Death Star. Wedge Antilles asks Mon Mothma to dissolve Leia's stealth squadron and commision a new squadron that he will call Rogue Squadron. He invites all the members of her squadron to join Rogue, and all except Prithi accept. She is returning to her home because she feels that is where she needs to be. Han returns with Perla and the weapons she brings, and Mon Mothma offers her command of a freighter in the fleet. With everything sorted out, Leia explains that she has found a new planet for their base, Arrochar, who's prince has proposed to her and offered her their planet as a refuge.
