Tatooine Manhunt
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. . .
EXTERIOR: SPACECRAFT IN SPACE. The Imperial Star Destroyer Relentless docks with Kwenn Space Station.
INTERIOR: IMPERIAL STAR DESTROYER — AUDIENCE CHAMBER. Twin blast doors slide open, revealing the dark interior of a massive chamber. An Imperial captain stands upon a high platform, flanked by lower officers. Two stormtroopers march in. They drop a manacled prisoner at the feet of Captain Parian, commander of the warship.
"The charge," demands Parian.
"Piracy, sir," snaps a trooper.
"Kill the scum," Parian replies coldly.
"Wait!" screams the prisoner, "I have something to bargain with. Information important to the Emperor ... in exchange for my life."
Parian's dead eyes gleam triumphantly. "Go ahead. I'm all ears."
"Tallon ... it concerns Adar Tallon ..." Parian listens intently to the pirate's tale, then issues orders. Quietly, Ensign Dana pockets a data storage pad and slips away.
The commander issues one final order. "Lieutenant Voor, send for the bounty hunters."
