A voyage to the moon Nar Shaddaa was embarked upon by the crew members of the starship Millennium Falcon during the events of Operation Shadow Hand. Han Solo, along with his spouse Leia Organa Solo and their comrades, aimed to liberate the runaway Jedi Vima-Da-Boda. In a parallel plot, Dark Jedi Zasm Katth and Baddon Fass, in control of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Invincible, were also on a mission to the moon. These two darksiders were under the command of their superior, Sedriss QL, with instructions to enlist the services of the bounty hunter Boba Fett, find the Millennium Falcon, and eliminate Vima-Da-Boda.
Fett rejected the offer to collaborate with the Imperial forces and instead initiated his own independent effort to apprehend Solo. Fass and Katth met their demise when the Invincible crashed into a traffic management tower manned by Mako Spince. Solo and his companions were successful in rescuing Vima-Da-Boda and fleeing, but were then chased by Fett, compelling them to seek refuge on Ganath.
