Uncover the tale of how, in a previous era, bounty hunter AURRA SING and a mysterious partner risked everything during the galactic starcruiser's tenure as a mobile casino!_

In 34 ABY, pirate Crimson Jack’s vessel opens fire on the Halcyon Legacy. Captain Keevan deduces that the pirates seek something specific on board, as their shots inflict minimal damage, serving merely as a warning. Crimson Jack then communicates with the Halcyon, demanding the surrender of the Resistance spy in exchange for the safety of most passengers; failure to comply would result in everyone's demise. Post-transmission, Keevan confers with cruise director Lenka Mok, deciding against surrender and opting to lure the pirate ship into a nearby, intense solar storm. Elsewhere on the Halcyon, D3-O9 attempts to console Cimina, assuring her that the ship has weathered solar storms before. D3-O9 then recounts a past event to Cimina, flashing back to the Republic era and Aurra Sing's experiences on the Halcyon as a bounty hunter.

D3-O9 informs the bounty hunter that a man seeks her services, but she initially declines due to being on vacation. The man, Colram Vestig, is bothered by his son Wilmar who pleads with his father to go on the safari expedition to Numidian Prime so that they can see the Predavorexx, but an annoyed Colram pushes his son away and ignores his wishes. Colram approaches Aurra, seeking protection from his substantial gambling debts owed to the Hutts. Aurra is already aware of his situation, having observed his losing streak, and secretly employs Zam Wesell, a shapeshifting Clawdite bounty hunter, for additional surveillance. Aurra accepts the job. Colram reveals his considerable credits but explains that his debt to the Hutts is larger and he needs to survive until a deal is closed. A Weequay, acting on behalf of the Hutts, confronts and taunts Colram. Aurra intervenes, pinning the Weequay to a table, but the Weequay warns that she’ll need to save her energy in order to rescue Colram’s kid. The two learn that Wilmar has been taken down to Numidian Prime, but when D3-O9 tells Aurra that it’s too dangerous to go due to an approaching solar storm, she forces the droid to come with her in the transport shuttle.

Upon landing, Aurra and the Weequay are warned that they have a mere ten minutes before the solar storm hits, necessitating their return to the Halcyon. The Weequay leads Aurra through the jungle to a platform where three more Weequay Hutt members are holding Wilmar hostage at blaster point, but she is suddenly attacked by a wild Predavorexx. Aurra tries to fight the beast with her blaster rifle, but is knocked aside while the Weequay begins to plead that he shouldn’t be in this situation and deserves to be in safety with the rest of the Weequay. However, he is snatched up in the claws of the Predavorexx before he can flee and is quickly silenced as he is bitten in half. While Aurra also runs for her life, the Hutts aboard the Halcyon place a bet worth forty-thousand credits that Aurra is eaten as well, but she is able to evade the beast’s grasp and reach her blaster where she ends the Predavorexx with a well placed shot to its head. However, the Weequay continue to hold the kid at blaster point and warn her that she is outnumbered, but when they mention that there are three of them, she says that she counts four and this causes confusion amongst the Weequay. Just then, one of the Weequay pulls a blaster on the others and shoots them dead, and it is revealed to be Zam Wesell who was imposing as one of Wilmar’s Weequay captives. While Zam jokes that she took longer than normal because she too had to place bets on the Predavorexx, the trio makes their way to the transport shuttle and heads back to the Halcyon with D3-O9. Upon their return, D3-O9 offers refreshments to the two bounty hunters as compliments from the captain who is grateful that they saved the young passenger. However, they are warned that the Hutts have just purchased the Halcyon and are technically their bosses, and with this, Aurra and Zam realize that it is their time to leave.

Returning to the present, Cimina and her grandfather Shorr learn that Aurra and Zam would eventually meet gruesome ends. Cimina questions the story's relevance to surviving a solar storm. D3-O9 then realizes that the Halcyon only managed to avoid one and tries to reassure her that there’s a chance they can survive this one. Meanwhile, Crimson Jack prepares to board the Halcyon while Captain Keevan alerts passengers to impending turbulence as she accelerates the ship to full speed.
