![]() The Spacebarn owned and operated by Shug Ninx was a blur of activity with smugglers modifying their ships, adding weaponry and shields day and night. The smuggler fleet was a collection of ships belonging to many smugglers on Nar Shaddaa who agreed to set aside their differences and defend their mutual home. ![]() While leaving to practice his duty as forward scout, Roa was alarmed when he detected Imperial vessels and realized he was no longer on a drill. Instead, they drilled the pilots daily until the plan was well-practiced. A small handful of other smugglers were aware that they had the Imperial battle plan, but even they were kept in the dark. Solo and Mako knew when the Empire would attack, but did not tell anyone. Captain Renthal, knowing that the additional firepower of the smugglers' ships would increase her chances of success, agreed to coordinate with them. Han's friend, the magician Xaverri, showed up to help the smugglers and was able to cast her greatest illusion ever-the image of a fleet of hundreds of ships that would distract Greelanx long enough for the smugglers to break through their shields. The ships would then attack the Imperial vessels from behind while Mako led a frontal offensive aboard Jiliac's personal yacht. Solo's strategy called for hiding the smuggler ships among an orbiting scrapyard of derelict ships close to the system's hyperspace arrival point. The smugglers of Nar Shaddaa united to defend their home from the Empire, and an impressive fleet of ragtag ships was assembled. With Mako Spince, a former classmate at the Imperial Academy, Han devised a defense strategy. What neither Solo nor the Hutts knew was that Greelanx had already received a private communiqué from the Emperor himself, ordering him to lose the battle the bribe was merely icing on the cake. Han Solo was selected by Jiliac and Jabba to offer the bribe to Greelanx, who accepted it in return for his battle plans and a promise to withdraw as soon as he could justify it, giving the smugglers a fighting chance. Also, they agreed to deliver an unprecedented bribe to Admiral Greelanx. They hired the pirate Captain Drea Renthal to defend their planet. Horrified at the incalculable financial devastation this would cause (not to mention the lives of billions, though this mattered little to the Hutts), the Hutts convened on Nal Hutta to decide on a course of action. To that end, Shild ordered Admiral Winstel Greelanx to crush any opposition in the Y'Toub system, then execute Base Delta Zero on Nar Shaddaa. Shild intended to destroy the planetary city, proving to the Hutts that they could not expect to undermine the Empire forever. He planned to make an example of Nar Shaddaa, the Smugglers' Moon, which was the focal point of everything the Empire wanted to control. For the first time, Shild refused the Hutts' bribery. Shild, who entertained thoughts of leading an insurrection of his own, renounced his ways and stood up to the Hutts, hoping to advance through the Imperial ranks. Moff Sarn Shild was tasked with restoring Imperial authority in Hutt Space. In response to growing Rebel activity, Emperor Palpatine ordered that Imperial Moffs crack down on lawlessness and sedition in their local sectors. Concerned with Shild's growing desperation for power, the Emperor planned to deal Shild a major blow by causing him to lose his political support in the fallout from the calamitous loss. Unknown to the smugglers was that Admiral Winstel Greelanx had been ordered to lose the battle by Emperor Palpatine, who wished to discredit Moff Sarn Shild of the Hutt Sector. Though the smugglers suffered severe casualties, they dealt the Empire many losses in return. Led by Mako Spince and Han Solo, the smugglers bested the Imperial forces. It was fought in orbit above the Smugglers' Moon, in the Y'Toub system in 4 BBY.ĭespite the fact that they were up against a well-trained Imperial strike group, the small group of smugglers were able not only to stand up to the Imperials, but force them out of the area around Nar Shaddaa. The Battle of Nar Shaddaa, also referred to as the Incident at Nar Shaddaa, was a conflict between an Imperial task force and a collection of smugglers and pirates attempting to defend their homes on Nar Shaddaa. Get me back to the Lortan fanatics." ― Soontir Fel " At the Academy I never thought I'd be fighting smugglers off Nal Hutta.
