"Hold on, Chewie! Twenty seconds until we drop out of hyperspace. Is the package ready?"

Chewbacca howls a brief acknowledgement and readies the airlock release.

"As soon as it's on it's way, we make for the rendezvous. Wouldn't want to run into any trouble this close to the mines, not with all the Imperial activity round here lately." Han gives Chewbacca one of his sly grins and slaps his co-pilot on the shoulder. "Ok, here we go..."

The Millennium Falcon's nav computer dis-engages the hyperdrive and the star field collapses to a real-space view. Immediately a target alert begins blaring. Chewbacca roars his surprise and alarm.

"I know, I see it!" Han begins powering up deflector shields and puts the Falcon into a hard turn. Close by their exit point is a vast glowing cloud of debris, expanding rapidly outwards in a blossoming petal shape. Bits of twisted metal and ceramic shoot past the hull and impact the shields, but fortunately the largest parts miss by several kilometres. Chewbacca hits the airlock release, and the old, battered astromech inside joins the expanding nebula of wreckage.

"From the size of it, I'd say that until a few moments ago, that was a star-destroyer. What the hell happened to it?" Han looks at Chewbacca, who shrugs in reply.

"You know what, never mind," says Han. "Let's get out of here." Han pushes the throttles to maximum, heading directly away from the last resting place of the Armoured Evangelist toward the relative safety of Kessel itself.
