Admiral Varth disgusted by the crew's failure to find out what Project Sarlacc is assigned a droid called Tweedie to rate, provide guidance and review them. Tweedie joins them on the White Rabbit.

By the time the crew arrived on Bespin, Dargo the Snazzily Dressed Hutt had been firmly secluded on Cloud City, and his luxury yacht was hidden. When the crew began their search for him, most of the usual avenues turned up nothing—the Hutt had paid his associates handsomely to keep him hidden, and none would jeopardize their health and wealth to reveal his location to anyone.

The crew’ only lead came when they learnt that Cloud City would be holding a major sabacc tournament in a matter of days and that it is rumoured that an Imperial officer would be arriving to participate. Rumour had it that this officer is in the pocket of Dargo the Snazzily Dressed Hutt the Hutt, and that his participation in the tournament is merely a cover-up for a clandestine meeting between them. If the crew could infiltrate the card game, they might have a chance to question the Imperial officer or Dargo the Snazzily Dressed Hutt’s agent about the Hutt’s whereabouts—but first, they had to get into the game, which was very expensive. Luckily, Admiral Varth was willing to stump up 10k credits as a loan to buy one of the crew into the game. M'Nak being a highly skilled sabacc player (much to the GMs disgust) paid the fee and signed up. The tournament took place and after winning a series of sabacc games, including against Lando Calrissian, they finally found themselves face-to-face with Dargo the Snazzily Dressed Hutt’s agent.

The crew also discovered that the reason for the officer’s visit was not only to play in the tournament but also to deliver payment for the biggest shipment of Tibanna gas yet. In addition, the payment for the gas was unusual as well: the officer brought an entire transport ship full of slaves (logged as Biological Assets) to trade to the Snazzily Dressed Hutt. The vessel with the Tibanna gas was launched before the tournament started, and the slave ship remained in orbit, having been brought to the system earlier. HK-13 managed to hack into the slave ships command codes and override the door controls to free the prisoners. They then overcame the skeleton Imperial crew and started the process to warm up the engines.

The crew discovered that Dargo the Snazzily Dressed Hutt has been hiding in a hangar in the underside of Cloud City. When the crew arrived, they faced a combined force of Dargo the Snazzily Dressed Hutt’s minions and a small detachment of Imperial stormtroopers. Dargo the Snazzily Dressed Hutt made a final glittering stand and engaged the crew in combat. After Dargo the Snazzily Dressed Hutt was defeated, the crew learnt that the Empire had set the cruiser carrying Tibanna gas on a collision course with the slave ship, eliminating the two biggest pieces of evidence of their deal, which had now gone sour thanks to the crew's intervention.

Fortunately, the crew still had a chance to stop the collision. Inside the hangar are several brand-new Z-95 Headhunter starfighters, the White Rabbit and the Dargo the Snazzily Dressed Hutts personal yacht the Glory Hole. Storming The Glory Hole, Dickie and Snow Biscuit took over it and launched. Fumpa stole a Z-95 whilst the White Rabbit was crewed by M'Nak and HK-13. As they reached low orbit, the crew could see the Tibanna gas carrier blazing toward the slave ship. Unfortunately, the dagger-shaped form of a Star Destroyer appeared out of hyperspace bearing down on the crew. The crew had to race to destroy the ship carrying the Tibanna gas before it could crash into the slave ship, fending off a full squadron of the brand new Imperial TIE fighters at the same time. Fumpa managed to slam a pair of concussion missiles into the Tibanna Gas Transports engines triggering a chain reaction whilst the rest of the ships engaged and destroyed the Imperial TIE Fighters. They managed to get into hyperspace just before the Imperial Star Destroyer Repulse got into weapons range.
