The Millennium Falcon slowed down in speed, soaring smoothly through the peaceful darkness of space. It wasn't until it began shaking rapidly that the pilot, Han Solo, ran to the piloting seat. Ahead of the ship, great rocks of destruction floated around, flying dangerously close to the ship. The beautiful Paige Solo ran to the front of the ship, gripping onto anything she could reach to hold herself in place without falling. Luke Skywalker and his master, Obi Wan Kenobi, were not far behind her.

"What's going on?" Luke asked.

"The map says that this is the place. There is no Alderaan in sight," Han said quickly.

"That's impossible!"

"What can I tell you kid?"

Paige stood behind her brother's seat looking in the void ahead of her. She detected something bad was gonna happen but she didn't acknowledge it. 

"Destroyed by the Empire," Obi Wan started.

Han argued with the man, disagreeing with him and telling him it was impossible for one ship to do that much damage. It would have to take more than ten heavy-duty starships to do even half that destruction! Suddenly, a loud beeping filled the ears of the passengers.

"There is another ship coming in!"

Instantly, Tie Fighter flew through the air around the ship, shooting their guns directly at them. Chewbacca and Han began flying around, slowly at first and then starting to speed up.

"There isn't any stations around her. Where are they coming from?" Han asked.

The Falcon followed the Imperial ship, hopefully finding answers of where to go. Luke nervously spoke about getting caught while everyone else remained calm. The five passengers disscused possible theories until they reached their answer. A small, round, planet-like structure came into view and they continued flying towards it.

"We will continue towards that moon."

"That's no moon, it's a space station."

"It's too big to be a space station."

The orb got closer into view and now you could see the metallic shell that was printed with several different indented squares.

"I have a very bad feeling about this," Luke admitted.

"We need to reverse," Paige cried.

Chewbacca pulled back on a lever used to change gears but the ship still levitated towards the station. The force was powerful and almost caused the young Solo girl to fall forward. The ship began to shake violently again, no meteor shower needed.

"The tracker beam is moving us in," Han announced.

Paige began to feel cold sweat cover her pale skin as she thought of the many deadly outcomes that the five of them could face. The Empire contained many sick and vile people, including their leader, Darth Vader.

All of the people in the ship began to panic as the station was now only a couple kilometers away. Paige looked over at the teenage boy next to her and saw the fear drawn all over his face. She placed a hand on his shoulder, giving him a sympathetic look before turning her head to watch the large gray station come closer.

The ship flew perfectly into the docking deck before anyone started to completely panic. Imperial fighters stood around eyeing the ship and holding their blasters in their hands. Paige's heart rate increased as the wheels of the ship landed onto the shiny surface of the ground below. Han turned around and looked at all of his colleagues.

"Anybody have a plan?" He asked.

Paige looked over at the tiles on the ground and an idea struck her brain. She crouched in front of three large tiles lifting them up to look underneath. Han came from behind her motioning the guys to come over.

"Well, get in!" 

Obi Wan and Chewbacca jumped into one, Han in another, while Paige pulled Luke into the third. 

Luke looked at the Solo girl anxiously and she placed her hand on top of his. They made eye contact before the girl began looking around the small passage quietly. She couldn't move her body, but her eyes searched the enclosed area. A blaster laid down on its side, noticeably loaded. Paige reached for it and clicked it in her belt just before she heard footsteps above her.
