After Grand Admiral Thrawn's hit-and-fade attack on Bpfassh, Mon Mothma wanted Leia Organa Solo to go on a diplomatic mission to Bpfassh in order to assure its people that the New Republic could still protect them. Organa Solo then departed Coruscant along with Han Solo and Chewbacca, escorted by a twenty-ship convoy and Wedge Antilles's Rogue Squadron.
While inspecting the crater of a planetary bombardment on Bpfassh, Han Solo, Leia Organa Solo and Wedge Antilles were ambushed by a team of Noghri Death Commandos.
What seemed to be the Millennium Falcon flown by Chewbacca quickly showed up to rescue them, but Organa Solo, who had been training as a Jedi with her brother, sensed something wrong. Solo realized that the ship was a double of the Millennium Falcon, and he used his wife's lightsaber to disable it and send up a plume of korfaise coolant gas that quickly attracted the real Millennium Falcon and Rogue Squadron to drive off the would-be captors.
