[[May the Force be with you/Legends|''May the Force be with you'']].

==Synopsis==
*Mission Type: Rebel
Over the [[Planet/Legends|planet]] [[Delrakkin/Legends|Delrakkin]], [[Admiral/Legends|Admiral]] [[Termo]] awaits a transmission from [[Grand Moff/Legends|Grand Moff]] [[Wilhuff Tarkin/Legends|Wilhuff Tarkin]] in the [[Yavin system/Legends|Yavin system]]. When the transmission does not arrive, Termo grows concerned, and prepares to dispatch a strike team to Yavin.

Meanwhile, at the [[Great Temple/Legends|Great Temple]] on [[Yavin 4/Legends|Yavin 4]], the Rebels are celebrating the destruction of the Death Star, until [[C-3PO/Legends|C-3PO]] interrupts them with the news that [[R2-D2/Legends|R2-D2]] has discovered something interesting. According to the Death Star plans, the battle station was carrying copious amounts of [[Bacta/Legends|bacta]] as cargo. While [[Luke Skywalker/Legends|Luke Skywalker]], [[Han Solo/Legends|Han Solo]] and [[Leia Organa Solo|Leia Organa]] ponder what this could mean, Threepio receives a relay signal from a beacon in the system, and informs the Rebels that an unknown ship has entered the system. Their sensors indicate that it is a modified [[Carrack-class light cruiser/Legends|Carrack cruiser]], probably searching for the Death Star. [[General/Legends|General]] [[Jan Dodonna/Legends|Jan Dodonna]] orders that they lay low, and allow the ship to pass, but Solo disobeys, and sets out after the craft in the [[Millennium Falcon/Legends|''Millennium Falcon'']]. Upon reaching the craft, Solo opens fire, and forces the Carrack to crash land on Yavin 4. Dodonna decides that they must send a force out to stop the survivors from sending a distress signal and alerting the Empire to their presence.

Dodonna selects one of the Rebels to scout ahead and survey the Imperial strength. The scout, using a [[Speeder bike/Legends|speeder bike]], reaches a clearing, and is nearly captured by Imperial [[Stormtrooper/Legends|stormtroopers]], but quickly defeats them. The scout then finds more stormtroopers who are planning to launch a [[Emergency beacon|distress beacon]], and quickly kills them too. Realizing that they will not be able to neutralize all of the Imperials, the scout disguises themselves as a Stormtrooper, hijacks an Imperial [[Landspeeder/Legends|landspeeder]], attaches their speeder bike to the back of it and sneaks into the Imperial camp. However, the scout forgets to turn off their [[Comlink/Legends|comlink]], and their cover is soon blown. The scout quickly escapes into a nearby temple to avoid capture. Within the temple, the scout encounters a [[Battle droid/Legends|battle droid]], but defeats it. Venturing further into the temple, the scout encounters two more battle droids, and defeats them, as well as a worm-like creature. The scout then discovers [[Q-7N]], a security droid left by the Sith builders of the temple. 7N, thinking that the scout is an Imperial, sends the scout hurtling through a trapdoor, and pits them against two stormtroopers. The scout kills the two stormtroopers with ease, only for Q-7N to reveal that they were in fact holograms. Convinced that the scout is friendly, Q-7N aids them in their quest to capture the Imperial [[Captain/Legends|captain]]. The scout is able to escape, but is pursued by Captain Skeezer. Q-7N slams himself against the captain, knocking him out and saving the scout. The scout then returns to the Rebel base with the damaged ancient droid.

Afterwards, Artoo repairs Q-7N, while Solo learns from the captured Captain Skeezer that the bacta carried by the Death Star was contaminated.
