Storyline Summary

Finding Kristiss

Lando fights the spiders

The TIE fighters relentlessly pursued the Millennium Falcon as it navigated the treacherous Wastelands of Kullgroon. Lando Calrissian, at the helm of the Falcon alongside his droid companion L3-37, made the bold decision to fly through a narrow canyon. Despite sustaining significant damage, the ship managed to outmaneuver the TIE fighters and successfully traverse the canyon. Upon landing, L3-37 pointed out the presence of a sewage expulsion port nearby, suggesting with sarcasm that Lando should investigate the sewers "capeless."

While exploring a cave, Lando found himself surrounded by numerous, albeit small, spider-like creatures. He killed a significant number of the spiders, only to be confronted by a particularly large one. However, Lando managed to overcome the spider, jammed the door, and gained enough time to pinpoint the location of Kristiss. He discovered Kristiss on level seven of the Imperial outpost of Kullgroon and requested L3 to infiltrate the mainframe and disable the security monitors.

Plotting the Uprising

Lando trying to convince the Petrusians to revolt

At the droid factory located on Kullgroon, Kristiss was forced to toil on droids alongside her father, Rythus. Her attention was drawn by a small object hitting her, causing her to turn around. Lando was present, concealed from the guards. Rythus initially disapproved of Lando's presence but eventually warmed up to him. Lando, however, became frustrated upon discovering that the Petrusians were peaceful and reluctant to engage in war. Kristiss and Rythus hoped that their people would heed Lando's words and adopt a different perspective.

Subsequently, Lando climbed onto a table and delivered a speech, recounting an incident where he didn't flee when the partner of Dawinian showed up, whom he was having an affair with. Despite initial silence, Kristiss voiced her support, inspiring others to do the same. Calrissian then led a third of the Petrusians to retrieve the weapons from the Millennium Falcon, while the remaining members stayed behind to continue working the lines.

The Start of the Rebellion

Lando shouts for the revolt to begin

In the sewers, Lando and his group of Pestrusians battled through swarms of the spider-like creatures, utilizing tools as melee weapons. Despite their easy destruction, the creatures possessed the ability to reassemble themselves. The Falcon arrived, and Lando boarded to retrieve a new communicator and cape from L3-37.

Shortly after the stormtrooper transfer commenced, Kristiss informed Lando via communicator that she and her group were prepared. Lando and his newly armed Pestrusians assumed their positions. Accompanied by a few of them, he made his way to Kristiss, and upon reaching her, who was standing next to two stormtroopers, he proclaimed that it was time for Pestrusian freedom.
