Han Solo and Chewbacca have left the Corporate Sector behind and they hope that their troubles have been left behind with it. Now in the Tion Hegemony, they are given the chance to join an old friend in searching for the fabled lost treasure of Xim the Despot. With visions of money running through their heads they agree to help, but there is a group with sinister motives trying to find the treasure first, and Han's old nemesis Gallandro is hunting him down. It all leads to a showdown with ancient war droids, and a treasure that isn't worth what it once was will prove that Han isn't quite the heartless mercenary he would like to believe he is.
