Eventually making his way to the Y'Toub system- home world of the Hutts- Han and Chewbacca begin to establish themselves as prominent smugglers and a respected piloting team among others on Nar Shaddaa.

A week later, the Imperial task force arrives in orbit, but the smuggler group has organized a defense (with the use of some holographic trickery) and they are able to inflict significant amounts of damage before the fleet withdraws. A holograph is a document written entirely in the handwriting of the person whose Signature it bears When Han returns to reward the fleet Admiral, he is forced to hide in a closet while the Admiral is killed by an unnamed assailant (implied to be Darth Vader).
