"Credit Denied" is a brief narrative that was intended for publication in the ill-fated Star Wars Adventure Journal 16. The plot summary involves Rendra Maex and Nopul Etrefa, her associate, encountering the crime boss Oro Memis along with his enforcer Vakir'sa'jaina at a religious site. Etrefa is fatally wounded by the henchman's blaster fire, and Maex finds herself compelled to participate in a lethal gladiatorial contest orchestrated by a Weequay emcee, Pon Svale. Restrained by chains to a post and facing imminent execution by gunfire, she succeeds in breaking free.
