Cut to the planet Raxus Prime. It is a junkyard world. Vast industrial complexes belch noxious gases into the atmosphere, blanketing everything on the surface in dust and soot. Endless tracts of land serve as dumps for scrap metal and obsolete technological artifacts, such as wrecked ships. A fortune can be made in these fields by an opportunistic scavenger with a death wish.
A distant cloaked figure watches from a rocky outcropping as Jeni lands her fighter at a spaceport.
She pays the stationmaster a fee and, with Zero trailing close behind, proceeds into the polluted cityscape with her eyes focused on her tracking beacon locator. When she gets to the neighboring port, the one where her target landed his vessel, Jeni observes the Talon Strider merchant, Dagman, leaving his ship with a bag of Isis crystals slung over his shoulder. With his other hand, he examines the coins kept in a pouch slung on his belt. It is obvious that Dagman intends to sell the crystals at a market.
Dagman goes to a pair of Weequay security guards at the entrance of a cantina. He mutters something to the two goons which waives the entry fee. Jeni appears from an alleyway and tries to pass by the pair, but they detect her and brandish their vibro-pikes. In the Weequay language, the guards yell an angry curse at her and demand an entry fee. She cannot afford it and tells them that she “knows the boss”. The guards won’t have it; they laugh at Jeni’s attempt at subterfuge. Then they tell her she can come into the pub if she forfeits Zero, an offer she sternly refuses.
Jeni decides to take a detour through a field of wreckage. With her lightsaber she cuts a hole through a security fence large enough to allow her and Zero to pass through. They navigate their way through a windswept landscape, their view of the horizon blocked by battered old landspeeders and piles of deactivated droids. After a while she is beheld by a familiar sight. Ruins of a ship with a semi-circular engine section and docking clamps on the front end, complete with a sensor dish extending upwards on the port side. The hull is dotted with dents and blaster marks.
Jeni realizes that she has found the remains of the Millenium Falcon.
