Han Solo blasted out of light speed and entered into the orbit of Maroo, a planet mostly consisted of wastelands. It is an area less traveled by the weak, a vile place and a dangerous one at that.
Solo had a crew of four on the Millennium Falcon and the mission was to be his last in the smuggling business (as was the last before this). Han heard about a bundle of light speed transmitters that lay hidden under a bunker in the city of Riffarro. A light speed transmitter sells big in the city and a low-key "in and out" smuggle would be more than worth the risk, at least so Han thought.
Han sat at the controls of the Falcon with a smirk on his face. Everything was going as planned.
Maroo looked like it always did, a sludgy brown color that invoked disgust, even to the vilest creatures in the galaxy.
"Well my fellow pirates!" Han said folding his arms behind his head. "We are here."
The Millennium Falcon began to descend into the orbit of Maroo, the ship bounced and rocked as it caught flames. "Well fella's, we're not out of the clear yet!" Han shouted as he rushed to the back to check the temperature meters. The meters were skyrocketing out of this world. Smoke bellowed from the pressure pipes that laid horizontal behind the meter gauges. Han grabbed the lever that hung above and pulled with all his weight.
The pressure released at once, blowing steam in a high pitch scream. Only to follow a burst of flames that ignited in the wiring system down below him.
"We've got more fire now!" Han screamed as the other's rushed to his assistance. Jud Stantson grabbed the extinguisher in front of him and acted quickly. With a quickness, Jud smothered the rising flames immediately, filling the Falcon with thick black smoke.
Jay Lee stood up quickly from controls. He was a young kid of eighteen that joined Han at the tender age of sixteen when his dad passed away. Han created a special bond with his father Trig, who always seemed to get Han out of "sticky" situations in the past. In a way (though never mentioned), taking care of Jay was a way of repaying his father.
"Sir, we are about to make a landing in Riffarro, where would be the safest landing point?" Lee said with sternness.
Han emerged from the cloud of smoke behind them. "Make it a stealthy landing, we don't want any trouble with anything or anybody. I want this plain and simple boys. Easy pay day."
