The great and powerful Jabba the Hutt was bored. Since the Empire had taken over, he had not acquired a new slave girl. He could use a new Khankee. He had his men searching across the galaxy, both the inner core and outer rim, for beautiful women.
On a planet called Lothal, one of those groups in Jabba's employ found two possible candidates. There were part of a small Rebel cell, which was causing the Imperials all kinds of trouble. The two female members of the cell seemed perfect for Jabba. One was a Twi'lek, named Hera. She was a pilot, but that wouldn't matter to Jabba. He had a fondness for Twi'leks. The other, a Mandolorian human named Sabine. She was quite the artistic type, but had a way with explosives. She was young and lovely. Either of them would please Jabba.
