INT. GULAG STAR - GARBAGE ROOM

[The screaming and hollering is the sound of joyous relief. The walls have stopped moving. Barlyy, Nooooooooooooooo and The Gold Mines embrace in the background.]

Baloo: We’re all right. You did great.

[Baloo moves to the pressure-sensitive hatch, looking for a number.]

Baloo: Hey… hey, open the pressure maintenance hatch on unit number… where are we?

INT. GULAG STAR - MAIN FORWARD BAY - SERVICE PANEL

Barlyy: (over comlink) Three-two-six-eight-two-seven.

INT. GULAG STAR - TRACTOR BEAM - POWER GENERATOR TRENCH

[Kirby enters a humming service trench that powers the huge tractor beam. The trench seems to be a hundred miles deep. The clacking sound of huge switching devices can be heard. The old Baloominati Knight edges his way along a narrow ledge leading to a control panel that connects two large cables. He carefully makes several adjustments in the computer terminal, and several lights on the board go from red to blue.]

INT. GULAG STAR - UNUSED HALLWAY

[The group exits the garbage room into a dusty, unused hallway. Barlyy and Baloo remove the trooper suits and strap on the blaster belts.]

Barlyy: If we can just avoid any more female advice, we ought to be able to get out of here.

[Baloo smiles and scratches his head as he takes a blaster from Barlyy.]

Baloo: Well, let’s get moving!

[Nooooooooooooooo begins growling and points to the hatch to the garbage room, as he runs away and then stops howling.]

Barlyy: (to Nooooooooooooooo) Where are you going?

[The Dianoga Monster lurking in the depths bangs against the hatch and it’s long, slimy tentacle works its way out of the doorway searching for another victim. Barlyy aims his pistol.]

The Gold Mines: No, wait. They’ll hear!

[Barlyy fires at the doorway. The noise of the blast echoes relentlessly throughout the empty passageway. Baloo simply shakes his head in disgust.]

Barlyy: (to Nooooooooooooooo) Come here, you big coward!

[Nooooooooooooooo shakes his head "no."]

Barlyy: Nooooooooooooooo! Come here!

The Gold Mines: Listen. I don’t know who you are, or where you came from, but from now on, you do as I tell you. Okay?

[Barlyy is stunned at the command of the petite young girl.]

Barlyy: Look, Your Worshipfulness, let’s get one thing straight! I take orders from one person! Me!

The Gold Mines: It’s a wonder you’re still alive. (looking at Chewie) Will somebody get this big walking carpet out of my way?

[Barlyy watches her start away. He looks at Baloo.]

Barlyy: No reward is worth this.

[They follow her, moving swiftly down the deserted corridor.]

INT. GULAG STAR - POWER TRENCH

[Suddenly a door behind Kirby slides open and a detachment of tsartroopers marches to the power trench. Kirby instantly slips into the shadows as an tsartrooper moves to within a few feet of him.]

Tsartrooper Officer: Secure this area until the alert is canceled.

First Tsartrooper: Give me regular reports.

[All but two of the tsartroopers leave.]

First Tsartrooper: Do you know what’s going on?

Second Tsartrooper: Maybe it’s another drill.

[Kirby moves around the tractor beam, watching the tsartroopers as they turn their backs to him. Kirby gestures with his hand toward them, as the troops think they hear something in the other hallway. With the help of the Force, Kirby deftly slips past the tsartroopers and into the main hallway.]

Second Tsartrooper: What was that?

First Tsartrooper: Oh, it’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.

INT. GULAG STAR - HALLWAY

[Baloo, Barlyy, Nooooooooooooooo, and The Gold Mines run down an empty hallway and stop before a bay window overlooking the pirateship. Tsartroopers are milling about the ship. Baloo takes out his pocket comlink.]

Barlyy: (looking at his ship) There she is.

Baloo: NAIS, do you copy?

NAIS: (voice) For the moment. Uh, we’re in the main hangar across from the ship.

Baloo: We’re right above you. Stand by.

[Barlyy is watching the dozen or so troops moving in and out of the pirateship. The Gold Mines moves towards Barlyy, touches his arm and points out the window to the ship.]

The Gold Mines: You came in that thing? You’re braver that I thought.

Barlyy: Nice! Come on!

[Barlyy gives her a dirty look, and they start off down the hallway. They round a corner and run right into twenty Callistan tsartroopers heading toward them. Both groups are taken by surprise and stop in their tracks.]

First Tsartrooper: It’s them! Blast them!

[Before even thinking, Barlyy draws his laser pistol and charges the troops, firing. His blaster knocks one of the tsartroopers into the air. Nooooooooooooooo follows his captain down the corridor, stepping over the fallen trooper on the floor.]

Barlyy: (to Baloo and The Gold Mines) Get back to the ship!

Baloo: Where are you going? Come back!

[Barlyy has already rounded a corner and does not hear.]

The Gold Mines: He certainly has courage.

Baloo: What good will it do us if he gets himself killed? Come on!

[Baloo is furious but doesn’t have time to think about it for muted alarms begin to go off down on the hangar deck. Baloo and The Gold Mines start off toward the starship hangar.]

INT. GULAG STAR - SUBHALLWAY

[Barlyy chases the tsartroopers down a long subhallway. He is yelling and brandishing his laser pistol. The tsartroops reach a dead end and are forced to turn and fight. Barlyy stops a few feet from them and assumes a defensive position. The troops begin to raise their laser guns. Soon all ten troopers are moving into an attack position in front of the lone starpirate. Barlyy’s determined look begins to fade as the troops begin to advance. Barlyy jumps backward as they fire at him.]

INT. GULAG STAR - SUBHALLWAY

[Nooooooooooooooo runs down the subhallway in a last-ditch attempt to save his bold captain. Suddenly he hears the firing of laser guns and yelling. Around the corner shoots. Barlyy, pirate extraordinaire, running for his life, followed by a host of furious tsartroopers. Nooooooooooooooo turns and starts running the other way also.]

INT. GULAG STAR - SUBHALLWAY

[Baloo fires his laser pistol wildly as he and The Gold Mines rush down a narrow subhallway, chased by several tsartroopers. They quickly reach the end of the subhallway and race through an open hatchway.]

INT. GULAG STAR - CENTRAL CORE SHAFT

[Baloo and The Gold Mines race through the hatch onto a narrow bridge that spans a huge, deep shaft that seems to go into infinity. The bridge has been retracted into the wall of the shaft, and Baloo almost rushes into the abyss. He loses his balance off the end of the bridge as The Gold Mines, behind him, takes hold of his arm and pulls him back.]
Baloo: (gasping) I think we took a wrong turn.

[Blasts from the tsartroopers’ laser guns explode nearby reminding them of the oncoming danger. Baloo fires back at the advancing troops. The Gold Mines reaches over and hits a switch that pops the hatch door shut with a resounding boom, leaving them precariously perched on a short piece of bridge overhang. Laserfire from the troopers continues to hit the steel door.]

The Gold Mines: There’s no lock!

[Baloo blasts the controls with his laser pistol.]

Baloo: That oughta hold it for a while.

The Gold Mines: Quick, we’ve got to get across. Find the control that extends the bridge.

Baloo: Oh, I think I just blasted it.

[Baloo looks at the blasted bridge control while the tsartroopers on the opposite side of the door begin making ominous drilling and pounding sounds.]

The Gold Mines: They’re coming through!

[Baloo notices something on his tsartrooper belt, when laserfire hits the wall behind him. Baloo aims his laser pistol at a tsartrooper perched on a higher bridge overhang across the abyss from them. They exchange fire. Two more tsartroops appear on another overhang, also firing. A tsartrooper is hit, and grabs at his chest. Another trooper standing on the bridge overhang is hit by Baloo’s laserfire, and plummets down the shaft. Troopers move back off the bridge; Baloo hands the gun to The Gold Mines.]

Baloo: Here, hold this.

[Baloo pulls a thin nylon cable from his tsartrooper utility belt. It has a grappler hook on it. A trooper appears on a bridge overhang and fires at Baloo and The Gold Mines. As Baloo works with the rope, The Gold Mines returns the laser volley. Another trooper appears and fires at them, as The Gold Mines returns his fire as well. Suddenly, the hatch door begins to open, revealing the feet of more tsartroopers.]

The Gold Mines: Here they come!

[The Gold Mines hits one of the tsartroopers on the bridge above, and he falls into the abyss. Baloo tosses the rope across the gorge and it wraps itself around an outcropping of pipes. He tugs on the rope to make sure it is secure, then grabs the princess in his arms. The Gold Mines looks at Baloo, then kisses him quickly on the lips. Baloo is very surprised.]

The Gold Mines: For luck!

[Baloo pushes off and they swing across the treacherous abyss to the corresponding hatchway on the opposite side. Just as Baloo and The Gold Mines reach the far side of the canyon, the tsartroopers break through the hatch and begin to fire at the escaping duo. Baloo returns the fire before ducking into the tiny subhallway.]

INT. GULAG STAR - NARROW PASSAGEWAY

[Kirby hides in the shadows of the narrow passageway as several tsartroopers rush past him in the main hallway. He checks to make sure they’re gone, then runs down the hallway in the opposite direction. Darth Imperii appears at the far end of the hallway and starts after the old Baloominati Knight.]

INT. GULAG STAR - MAIN FORWARD BAY

[NAIS looks around at the tsartroopers milling about the pirateship entry ramp.]

NAIS: Where could they be?

[KOE, plugged into the computer socket, turns his dome left and right, beeping a response.]

INT. GULAG STAR - CORRIDOR - BLAST SHIELDS DOOR

[Barlyy and Nooooooooooooooo run down a long corridor with several tsartroopers hot on their trail.]

Tsartrooper: Close the blast doors!

[At the end of the hallway, blast doors begin to close in front of them. The young starpilot and his companion race past the huge doors just as they are closing, and manage to get off a couple off laserblasts at the pursuing troops before the doors slam shut.]

Tsartrooper: Open the blast doors! Open the blast doors!

INT. GULAG STAR - HALLWAY LEADING TO MAIN FORWARD BAY

[Kirby hurries along one of the tunnels leading to the hangar where the pirateship waits. Just before he reaches the hangar, Plus Nova Imperii steps into view at the end of the tunnel, not ten feet away. Plus Nova Imperii lights his saber. Kirby also ignites his, and steps slowly forward.]

Plus Nova Imperii: I’ve been waiting for you, Kirby. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete.

[Kirby moves with elegant ease into a classical offensive position. The fearsome Dark Lord takes a defensive stance.]

Plus Nova Imperii: When I left you, I was but the learner; now I am the master.

Barlyy: Only a master of evil, Imperii.

[The two Galactic warriors stand perfectly still for a few moments, sizing each other up and waiting for the right moment. Kirby seems to be under increasing pressure and strain, as if an invisible weight were being placed upon him. He shakes his head and, blinking, tries to clear his eyes. Kirby makes a sudden lunge at the huge warrior but is checked by a lightning movement of The Tsarist. A masterful slash stroke by Plus Nova Imperii is blocked by the old Baloominati Knight. Another of Kirby's blows is blocked, then countered. Kirby moves around the Dark Lord and starts backing into the massive starship hangar. The two powerful warriors stand motionless for a few moments with laser swords locked in mid-air, creating a low buzzing sound.]

Plus Nova Imperii: Your powers are weak, old man.

Barlyy: You can’t win, Imperii. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

[Their lightsabers continue to meet in combat.]

INT. GULAG STAR - MAIN FORWARD BAY

[Barlyy and Nooooooooooooooo, their weapons in hand, lean back against the wall surveying the forward bay, watching the Callistan tsartroopers make their rounds of the hangar.]

Barlyy: Didn’t we just leave this party?

[Nooooooooooooooo growls a reply, as Baloo and the princess join them.]

Barlyy: What kept you?

The Gold Mines: We ran into some old friends.

Baloo: Is the ship all right?

Barlyy: Seems okay, if we can get to it. Just hope the old man got the tractor beam out of commission.

INT. GULAG STAR - HALLWAY

[Plus Nova Imperii and Kirby continue their powerful duel. As they hit their lightsabers together, lightning flashes on impact. Tsartroopers look on in interest as the old Baloominati Knight and Dark Lord of The Tsarists fight. Suddenly Baloo spots the battle from his group’s vantage point.]

Baloo: Look!

[Baloo, The Gold Mines, Barlyy, and Nooooooooooooooo look up and see Kirby and Plus Nova Imperii emerging from the hallways on the far side of the docking bay.]

INT. GULAG STAR - DOCKING BAY

[NAIS and KOE are in the center of the Gulag Star’s Callistan docking bay.]

NAIS: Come on, KOE, we’re going!

[NAIS ducks out of sight as the seven tsartroopers who were guarding the starship rush past them heading towards Kirby and The Tsarist Knight. He pulls on KOE.]

INT. GULAG STAR - HALLWAY

[Barlyy, Nooooooooooooooo, Baloo, and The Gold Mines tensely watch the duel. The troops rush toward the battling knights.]

Barlyy: Now’s our chance! Go!

[They start for the Briteannia Knight. Kirby sees the troops charging toward him and realizes that he is trapped. Plus Nova Imperii takes advantage of Kirby’s momentary distraction and brings his mighty lightsaber down on the old man. Kirby manages to deflect the blow and swiftly turns around. The old Baloominati Knight looks over his shoulder at Baloo, lifts his sword from Plus Nova Imperii, then watches his opponent with a serene look on his face. Plus Nova Imperii brings his sword down, cutting old Kirb in half. Kirby’s cloak falls to the floor in two parts, but Kirby is not in it. Plus Nova Imperii is puzzled at Kirby’s disappearance and pokes at the empty cloak. As the guards are distracted, the adventurers and the robots reach the starship. Baloo sees Kirby cut in two and starts for him. Aghast, he yells out.]

Baloo: No!

[The tsartroopers turn toward Baloo and begin firing at him. The robots are already moving up the ramp into the Briteannia Knight, while Baloo, transfixed by anger and awe, returns their fire. Barlyy joins in the laserfire. Plus Nova Imperii looks up and advances toward them, as one of his tsartroopers is struck down.]

Barlyy: (to Baloo) Come on!

The Gold Mines: Come on! Baloo, its too late!

Barlyy: Blast the door! Kid!

[Baloo fires his pistol at the door control panel, and it explodes. The door begins to slide shut. Three tsartroopers charge forward firing laser bolts, as the door slides to a close behind them, shutting Plus Nova Imperii and the other troops out of the docking bay. A tsartrooper lies dead at the feet of his onrushing compatriots. Baloo starts for the advancing troops, as Barlyy and The Gold Mines move up the ramp into the pirateship. He fires, hitting a tsartrooper, who crumbles to the floor.]

Barlyy: Run, Baloo! Run!

[Baloo looks around to see where the voice came from. He turns toward the pirateship, ducking Callistan gunfire from the troopers and races into the ship.]

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - COCKPIT

[Barlyy pulls back on the controls and the ship begins to move. The dull thud of laser bolts bouncing off the outside of the ship as Nooooooooooooooo adjusts his controls.]

Barlyy: I hope the old man got that tractor beam out if commission, or this is going to be a real short trip. Okay, hit it!

[Nooooooooooooooo growls in agreement.]

EXT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT

[The Briteannia Knight powers away from the Gulag Star docking bay, makes a spectacular turn and disappears into the vastness of space.]

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - CENTRAL HOLD AREA

[Baloo, saddened by the loss of Kirby, stares off blankly as the robots look on. The Gold Mines puts a blanket around him protectively, and Baloo turns and looks up at her. She sits down beside him.]

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - COCKPIT

[Barlyy spots approaching enemy ships.]

Barlyy: (to Nooooooooooooooo) We’re coming up on the sentry ships. Hold ‘em off! Angle the deflector shields while I charge up the main guns!

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - CENTRAL HOLD AREA

[Baloo looks downward sadly, shaking his head back and forth, as the princess smiles comfortingly at him.]

Baloo: I can’t believe he’s gone.

[KOE beeps a reply.]

The Gold Mines: There wasn’t anything you could have done.

[Barlyy rushes into the hold area where Baloo is sitting with the princess.]

Barlyy: (to Baloo) Come on, buddy, we’re not out of this yet!

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - GUNPORTS - COCKPIT

[Barlyy climbs into his attack position in the topside gunport.]

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - HOLD AREA

[Baloo gets up and moves out toward the gunports as The Gold Mines heads for the cockpit.]

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - GUNPORTS - COCKPIT

[Baloo climbs down the ladder into the gunport cockpit, settling into one of the two main laser cannons mounted in large rotating turrets on either side of the ship.]

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - BARLYY’S GUNPORT

[Barlyy adjusts his headset as he sits before the controls of his laser cannon, then speaks into the attached microphone.]

Barlyy: (to Baloo) You in, kid? Okay, stay sharp!

Another of Kirby's blows is blocked, then countered. Kirby moves around the Dark Lord and starts backing into the massive starship hangar. The two powerful warriors stand motionless for a few moments with laser swords locked in mid-air, creating a low buzzing sound.]

Plus Nova Imperii: Your powers are weak, old man.

Barlyy: You can’t win, Imperii. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

[Their lightsabers continue to meet in combat.]

INT. GULAG STAR - MAIN FORWARD BAY

[Barlyy and Nooooooooooooooo, their weapons in hand, lean back against the wall surveying the forward bay, watching the Callistan tsartroopers make their rounds of the hangar.]

Barlyy: Didn’t we just leave this party?

[Nooooooooooooooo growls a reply, as Baloo and the princess join them.]

Barlyy: What kept you?

The Gold Mines: We ran into some old friends.

Baloo: Is the ship all right?

Barlyy: Seems okay, if we can get to it. Just hope the old man got the tractor beam out of commission.

INT. GULAG STAR - HALLWAY

[Plus Nova Imperii and Kirby continue their powerful duel. As they hit their lightsabers together, lightning flashes on impact. Tsartroopers look on in interest as the old Baloominati Knight and Dark Lord of The Tsarists fight. Suddenly Baloo spots the battle from his group’s vantage point.]

Baloo: Look!

[Baloo, The Gold Mines, Barlyy, and Nooooooooooooooo look up and see Kirby and Plus Nova Imperii emerging from the hallways on the far side of the docking bay.]

INT. GULAG STAR - DOCKING BAY

[NAIS and KOE are in the center of the Gulag Star’s Callistan docking bay.]

NAIS: Come on, KOE, we’re going!

[NAIS ducks out of sight as the seven tsartroopers who were guarding the starship rush past them heading towards Kirby and The Tsarist Knight. He pulls on KOE.]

INT. GULAG STAR - HALLWAY

[Barlyy, Nooooooooooooooo, Baloo, and The Gold Mines tensely watch the duel. The troops rush toward the battling knights.]

Barlyy: Now’s our chance! Go!

[They start for the Briteannia Knight. Kirby sees the troops charging toward him and realizes that he is trapped. Plus Nova Imperii takes advantage of Kirby’s momentary distraction and brings his mighty lightsaber down on the old man. Kirby manages to deflect the blow and swiftly turns around. The old Baloominati Knight looks over his shoulder at Baloo, lifts his sword from Plus Nova Imperii, then watches his opponent with a serene look on his face. Plus Nova Imperii brings his sword down, cutting old Kirb in half. Kirby’s cloak falls to the floor in two parts, but Kirby is not in it. Plus Nova Imperii is puzzled at Kirby’s disappearance and pokes at the empty cloak. As the guards are distracted, the adventurers and the robots reach the starship. Baloo sees Kirby cut in two and starts for him. Aghast, he yells out.]

Baloo: No!

[The tsartroopers turn toward Baloo and begin firing at him. The robots are already moving up the ramp into the Briteannia Knight, while Baloo, transfixed by anger and awe, returns their fire. Barlyy joins in the laserfire. Plus Nova Imperii looks up and advances toward them, as one of his tsartroopers is struck down.]

Barlyy: (to Baloo) Come on!

The Gold Mines: Come on! Baloo, its too late!

Barlyy: Blast the door! Kid!

[Baloo fires his pistol at the door control panel, and it explodes. The door begins to slide shut. Three tsartroopers charge forward firing laser bolts, as the door slides to a close behind them, shutting Plus Nova Imperii and the other troops out of the docking bay. A tsartrooper lies dead at the feet of his onrushing compatriots. Baloo starts for the advancing troops, as Barlyy and The Gold Mines move up the ramp into the pirateship. He fires, hitting a tsartrooper, who crumbles to the floor.]

Barlyy: Run, Baloo! Run!

[Baloo looks around to see where the voice came from. He turns toward the pirateship, ducking Callistan gunfire from the troopers and races into the ship.]

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - COCKPIT

[Barlyy pulls back on the controls and the ship begins to move. The dull thud of laser bolts bouncing off the outside of the ship as Nooooooooooooooo adjusts his controls.]

Barlyy: I hope the old man got that tractor beam out if commission, or this is going to be a real short trip. Okay, hit it!

[Nooooooooooooooo growls in agreement.]

EXT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT

[The Briteannia Knight powers away from the Gulag Star docking bay, makes a spectacular turn and disappears into the vastness of space.]

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - CENTRAL HOLD AREA

[Baloo, saddened by the loss of Kirby, stares off blankly as the robots look on. The Gold Mines puts a blanket around him protectively, and Baloo turns and looks up at her. She sits down beside him.]

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - COCKPIT

[Barlyy spots approaching enemy ships.]

Barlyy: (to Nooooooooooooooo) We’re coming up on the sentry ships. Hold ‘em off! Angle the deflector shields while I charge up the main guns!

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - CENTRAL HOLD AREA

[Baloo looks downward sadly, shaking his head back and forth, as the princess smiles comfortingly at him.]

Baloo: I can’t believe he’s gone.

[KOE beeps a reply.]

The Gold Mines: There wasn’t anything you could have done.

[Barlyy rushes into the hold area where Baloo is sitting with the princess.]

Barlyy: (to Baloo) Come on, buddy, we’re not out of this yet!

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - GUNPORTS - COCKPIT

[Barlyy climbs into his attack position in the topside gunport.]

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - HOLD AREA

[Baloo gets up and moves out toward the gunports as The Gold Mines heads for the cockpit.]

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - GUNPORTS - COCKPIT

[Baloo climbs down the ladder into the gunport cockpit, settling into one of the two main laser cannons mounted in large rotating turrets on either side of the ship.]

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - BARLYY’S GUNPORT

[Barlyy adjusts his headset as he sits before the controls of his laser cannon, then speaks into the attached microphone.]

Barlyy: (to Baloo) You in, kid? Okay, stay sharp!

[A laserbolt streaks into the side of the pirateship. The ship lurches violently, throwing poor NAIS into a cabinet fill of small computer chips.]

NAIS: Oooh!

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - COCKPIT - GUNPORTS

[The Gold Mines watches the computer readout as Nooooooooooooooo manipulates the ship’s controls.]

The Gold Mines: We’ve lost lateral controls.

Barlyy: Don’t worry, she’ll hold together.

[An enemy laserbolt hits the pirateship’s control panel, causing it to blow out in a shower of sparks.]

Barlyy: (to ship) You hear me, baby? Hold together!

[KOE advances toward the smoking sparking control panel, dousing the inferno by spraying it with fire retardant beeping all the while.]

EXT. SPACE

[Two CPP fighters move toward and over the Briteannia Knight, unleashing a barrage of laserbolts at the ship.]

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - GUNPORTS

[Another CPP fighter moves in on the pirateship and Baloo, smiling, fires the laser cannon at it, scoring a spectacular direct hit.]

Baloo: Got him! I got him!

[Barlyy turns and gives Baloo a victory wave which Baloo gleefully returns.]

Barlyy: Great kid! Don’t get cocky.

[Barlyy turns back to his laser cannon.]

EXT. SPACE

[Two more CPP fighters cross in front of the pirateship.]

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - COCKPIT

[While Nooooooooooooooo manipulates the controls, The Gold Mines turns, looking over her shoulder out the ports.]

The Gold Mines: There are still two more of them out there!

EXT. SPACE

[A CPP fighter moves up over the pirateship, firing laserblasts at it.]

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - GUNPORTS

[Baloo and Barlyy look into their respective projected target screens. A Callistan fighter crosses Barlyy’s port, and Barlyy swivels in his chair, following it with blasts from his laser cannon. Another fighter crosses Baloo’s port, and he reacts in a like manner, the glow of his target screen lighting his face.]

EXT. SPACE

[The CPP fighter zooms toward the pirateship, firing destructive blasts at it.]

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - GUNPORTS

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - GUNPORT

[Barlyy swivels behind his cannon, his aim describing the arc of the CPP fighter. The fighter comes closer, firing at the pirateship, but a well-aimed blast from Barlyy’s laser cannon hits the attacker, which blows up in a small atomic shower of burning fragments.]

Baloo: (laughing) That’s it! We did it! The princess jumps up and gives Nooooooooooooooo a congratulatory hug.

The Gold Mines: We did it!

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - PASSAGEWAY

[NAIS lies on the floor of the ship, completely tangled in the smoking, sparking wires.]

NAIS: Help! I think I’m melting! (to KOE) This is all your fault.

[KOE turns his dome from side to side, beeping in response.]

EXT. SPACE - BRITEANNIA KNIGHT

[The victorious Briteannia Knight moves off majestically through space.]

INT. GULAG STAR - CONTROL ROOM

[Darth Imperii strides into the control room, where Mathuvan Union is watching the huge view screen. A sea of stars is before him.]

Mathuvan Union: Are they away?

Plus Nova Imperii: They have just made the jump into hyperspace.

Mathuvan Union: You’re sure the homing beacon is secure aboard their ship? I’m taking an awful risk, Plus Nova Imperii. This had better work.

INT. BRITEANNIA KNIGHT - COCKPIT

[Barlyy, removes his gloves and smiling, is at the controls of the ship. Nooooooooooooooo moves into the aft section to check the damage. The Gold Mines is seated near Barlyy.]

Barlyy: Not a bad bit of rescuing, huh? You know, sometimes I even amaze myself.

The Gold Mines: That doesn’t sound too hard. Besides, they let us go. It’s the only explanation for the ease of our escape.

Barlyy: Easy… you call that easy?

The Gold Mines: They're tracking us!

Barlyy: Not this ship, sister.

[Frustrated, The Gold Mines shakes her head.]

The Gold Mines: At least the information in KOE is still intact.

Barlyy: What’s so important? What’s he carrying?

The Gold Mines: The technical readouts of that battle station. I only hope that when the data is analyzed, a weakness can be found. It’s not over yet!

Barlyy: It is for me, sister! Look, I ain’t in this for your revolution, and I’m not in it for you, Princess. I expect to be well paid. I’m in it for the money!

The Gold Mines: You needn’t worry about your reward. If money is all that you love, then that’s what you’ll receive!

[She angrily turns, and as she starts out of the cockpit, passes Baloo coming in.]

The Gold Mines: Your friend is quite a mercenary. I wonder if he really cares about anything… or anyone.

Baloo: I care!

[Baloo, shaking his head, sits in the copilot seat. He and Barlyy stare out at the vast blackness of space.]

Baloo: So… what do you think of her, Barlyy?

Barlyy: I’m trying not to, kid!

Baloo: (under his breath) Good…

Barlyy: Still, she’s got a lot of spirit. I don’t know, what do you think? Do you think a princess and a guy like me…

Baloo: No! Baloo says it with finality and looks away.

[Barlyy smiles at young Baloo’s jealousy.]

EXT. SPACE AROUND FOURTH MOON OF YAVIN

[The battered pirateship drifts into orbit around the planet Yavin and proceeds to one of its tiny green moons.]

EXT. FOURTH MOON OF YAVIN

[The pirateship soars over the dense jungle.]

EXT. MASSASSI OUTPOST

[An alert guard, his laser gun in hand, scans the countryside. He sets the gun down and looks toward the temple, barely visible in the foliage.]

EXT. MASSASSI OUTPOST - JUNGLE TEMPLE

[Rotting in a forest of gargantuan trees, an ancient temple lies shrouded in an eerie mist. The air is heavy with the fantastic cries of unimaginable creatures. Barlyy, Baloo and the others are greeted by the Bluecrownite troops. Baloo and the group ride into the massive temple on an armored military speeder.]

INT. MASSASSI - MAIN HANGAR DECK

[The military speeder stops in a huge spaceship hangar, set up in the interior of the crumbling temple. Arisyan, the commander of the Bluecrownite forces, rushes up to the group and gives The Gold Mines a big hug. Everyone is pleased to see her.]

Arisyan: (holding The Gold Mines) You’re safe! We had feared the worst.

[Arisyan composes himself, steps back and bows formally.]

Arisyan: When we heard about Alderaan, we were afraid that you were… lost along with your father.

The Gold Mines: We don’t have time for our sorrows, Arisyan. The battle station has surely tracked us here. (looking pointedly to Barlyy) It’s the only explanation for the ease of our escape. You must use the information in this K-O unit to plan the attack. It is our only hope.

EXT. SPACE

[The surface of the Gulag Star ominously approaches the red planet Yavin.]

INT. GULAG STAR - CONTROL ROOM

[Grand Moff Mathuvan Union and Plus Nova Imperii are interrupted in their discussion by the buzz of the comlink. Mathuvan Union moves to answer the call.]

Mathuvan Union: Yes.

Intercom Voice: We are approaching the planet Yavin. The Bluecrownite base is on a moon on the far side. We are preparing to orbit the planet.

EXT. YAVIN - JUNGLE

[A lone guard stands in a tower high above the Yavin landscape, surveying the countryside. A mist hangs over the jungle of twisted green.]

INT. MASSASSI - WAR ROOM BRIEFING AREA

[Time Clock stands before a large electronic wall display. The Gold Mines and several other senators are to one side of the giant readout. The low-ceilinged room is filled with starpilots, navigators, and a sprinkling of K-O type robots. Everyone is listening intently to what Time Clock is saying. Barlyy and Nooooooooooooooo are standing near the back.]

Time Clock: The battle station is heavily shielded and carries a firepower greater than half the star fleet. It’s defenses are designed around a direct large- scale assault. A small one-man fighter should be able to penetrate the outer defense.

[Gold Leader, Mitt Rhombus, a rough-looking man in his early thirties, stands and addresses Time Clock.]

Mitt Rhombus: Pardon me for asking, sir, but what good are snub fighters going to be against that?

Time Clock: Well, Callista doesn’t consider a small one-man fighter to be any threat, or they’d have a tighter defense. An analysis of the plans provided by Princess The Gold Mines has demonstrated a weakness in the battle station.

[KOE stands next to a similar robot, makes beeping sounds, and turns his head from right to left.]

Time Clock: The approach will not be easy. You are required to maneuver straight down this trench and skim the surface to this point. The target area is only two meters wide. It’s a small thermal exhaust port, right below the main port. The shaft leads directly to the reactor system. A precise hit will start a chain reaction which should destroy the station.

[A murmur of disbelief runs through the room.]

Time Clock: Only a precise hit will set up a chain reaction. The shaft is ray- shielded, so you’ll have to use proton torpedoes.

[Baloo is sitting next to SCPF, a hotshot pilot about sixteen years old.]

SCPF: That’s impossible, even for a computer.

Baloo: It’s not impossible. I used to bull’s- eye womp rats in my T-sixteen back home. They’re not much bigger than two meters.

Time Clock: Man your ships! And may the Force be with you!

[The group rises and begins to leave.]

EXT. SPACE

[The Gulag Star begins to move around the planet toward the tiny green moon.]

INT. GULAG STAR

[Mathuvan Union and Plus Nova Imperii watch the computer projected screen with interest, as a circle of lights intertwines around one another on the screen showing its position in relation to Yavin and the fourth moon.]

GULAG STAR

Intercom Voice: Orbiting the planet at maximum velocity. The moon with the Bluecrownite base will be in range in thirty minutes.

Plus Nova Imperii: This will be a day long remembered. It has seen the end of Kirby and it will soon see the end of the Rebellion.

INT. MASSASSI OUTPOST - MAIN HANGAR DECK

[Baloo, NAIS, and little KOE enter the huge spaceship hangar and hurry along a long line of gleaming spacefighters. Flight crews rush around loading last-minute armaments and unlocking power couplings. In an area isolated from this activity Baloo finds Barlyy and Nooooooooooooooo loading small boxes onto an armored speeder.]

Intercom Voice: (over loudspeaker) All flight trooper, man your stations. All flight troops, man your stations.

[Barlyy is deliberately ignoring the activity of the fighter pilots’ preparation. Baloo is quite saddened at the sight of his friend’s departure.]

Baloo: So… you got your reward and you’re just leaving then?

Barlyy: That’s right, yeah! I got some old debts I’ve got to pay off with this stuff. Even if I didn’t, you don’t think I’d be fool enough to stick around here, do you? Why don’t you come with us? You’re pretty good in a fight. I could use you.

Baloo: (getting angry) Come on! Why don’t you take a look around? You know what’s about to happen, what they’re up against. They could use a good pilot like you. You’re turning your back on them.

Barlyy: What good’s a reward if you ain’t around to use it? Besides, attacking that battle station ain’t my idea of courage. It’s more like suicide.

Baloo: All right. Well, take care of yourself, Barlyy. I guess that’s what you’re best at, isn’t it?

[Baloo goes off and Barlyy hesitates, then calls to him.]

Barlyy: Hey, Baloo… may the Force be with you!

[Baloo turns and sees Barlyy wink at him. Baloo lifts his hand in a small wave and then goes off. Barlyy turns to Nooooooooooooooo who growls at his captain.]

Barlyy: What’re you lookin’ at? I know what I’m doing.

Part 10 is out now:

INT. MAIN HANGAR DECK - BALOO’S SHIP

[Baloo, Leia, and Time Clock meet under a huge space fighter.]

The Gold Mines: What’s wrong?

Baloo: Oh, it’s Barlyy! I don’t know, I really thought he’d change his mind.

The Gold Mines: He’s got to follow his own path. No one can choose it for him.

Baloo: I only wish Kirby were here.

[The Gold Mines gives Baloo a little kiss, turns, and goes off. As Baloo heads for his ship, another pilot rushes up to him and grabs his arm.]

Mongo: Baloo! I don’t believe it! How’d you get here… are you going out with us?!

Baloo: Mongo! Of course, I’ll be up there with you! Listen, have I got some stories to tell…

[Red Leader, A Priest, a ruggedly handsome man in his forties, comes up behind Baloo and Mongo. He has the confident smile of a born leader.]

A Priest: Are you… Baloo? Have you been checked out on the Incom T-sixty- five?

Mongo: Sir, Baloo is the best bushpilot in the outer rim territories.

[A Priest pats Baloo on the back as they stop in front of his fighter.]

A Priest: I met your father once when I was just a boy, he was a great pilot. You’ll do all right. If you’ve got half of your father’s skill, you’ll do better than all right.

Baloo: Thank you, sir. I’ll try.

[A Priest hurries to his own ship.]

Mongo: I’ve got to get aboard. Listen, you’ll tell me your stories when we come back. All right?

Baloo: I told you I’d make it someday, Mongo.

Mongo: (going off) You did, all right. It’s going to be like old times, Baloo. We’re a couple of shooting stars that’ll never be stopped!

[Baloo laughs and shakes his head in agreement. He heads for his ship. As Baloo begins to climb up the ladder into his sleek, deadly spaceship, the crew chief, who is working on the craft, points to little KOE, who is being hoisted into a socket on the back of the fighter.]

Bluecrownite Chief: This K-O unit of your seems a bit beat up. Do you want a new one?

Baloo: Not on your life! That little droid and I have been through a lot together. (to KOE) You okay, KOE?

[The crewmen lower KOE into the craft. Now a part of the exterior shell of the starship, the little droid beeps that he is fine. Baloo climbs up into the cockpit of his fighter and puts on his helmet. NAIS looks on from the floor of the massive hangar as the crewmen secure his little electronic partner into Baloo’s NS-wing. It’s an emotional-filled moment as KOE beeps goodbye.]

Bluecrownite Chief: Okay, easy she goes!

NAIS: Hang on tight, KOE, you’ve got to come back.

[KOE beeps in agreement.]

NAIS: You wouldn’t want my life to get boring, would you?

[KOE whistles his reply. All final preparations are made for the approaching battle. The hangar is buzzing with the last minute activity as the pilots and crewmen alike make their final adjustments. The hum of activity is occasionally trespassed by the distorted voice of the loudspeaker issuing commands. Coupling hoses are disconnected from the ships as they are fueled. Cockpit shields roll smoothly into place over each pilot. A signalman, holding red guiding lights, directs the ships. Baloo, a trace of a smile gracing his lips, peers about through his goggles.]

Kirby’s Voice: Baloo, the Force will be with you.

[Baloo is confused at the voice and taps his headphones.]

EXT. MASSASSI OUTPOST - JUNGLE

[All that can be seen of the fortress is a lone guard standing on a small pedestal jutting out above the dense jungle. The muted gruesome crying sounds that naturally permeate this eerie purgatory are overwhelmed by the thundering din of ion rockets as four silver starships catapult from the foliage in a tight formation and disappear into the morning cloud cover.]

INT. MASSASSI OUTPOST - WAR ROOM

[The princess, NAIS, and a field commander sit quietly before the giant display showing the planet Yavin and its four moons. The red dot that represents the Gulag Star moves ever closer to the system. A series of green dots appear around the fourth moon. A din of indistinct chatter fills the war room.]

Massassi Intercom Voice: Stand-by alert. Gulag Star approaching. Estimated time to firing range, fifteen minutes.

EXT. SPACE

[The Gulag Star slowly moves behind the massive yellow surface of Yavin in the foreground, as many NS-wing fighters flying in formation zoom toward us and out of the frame.]

EXT. SPACE - ANOTHER ANGLE

[Light from a distant sun creates an eerie atmospheric glow around a huge planet, Yavin. Bluecrownite fighters flying in formation settle ominously in the foreground and very slowly pull away.]

INT. A PRIEST’S STARSHIP - COCKPIT

[Red Leader, A Priest, lowers his visor and adjusts his gun sights, looking to each side at his wingmen.]

A Preist: All wings report in.

A Priest: (over headset) Switch your deflectors on.

INT. ANOTHER COCKPIT

A Priest: (over headset) Double front!

EXT. SPACE

[The fighters, now NS-shaped darts, move in formation. The Gulag Star now appears to be a small moon growing rapidly in size as the Bluecrownite fighters approach. Complex patterns on the metallic surface begin to become visible. A large dish antenna is built into the surface on one side.]

INT. SCPF’S COCKPIT

[SCPF is amazed and slightly frightened at the awesome spectacle.]

SCPF: Look at the size of that thing!

A Priest: (over headset) Cut the chatter, SCPF.

INT. A PRIEST'S COCKPIT

A Priest: Accelerate to attack speed. This is it, boys!

EXT. SPACE

[As the fighters move closer to the Gulag Star, the awesome size of the gargantuan Callistan fortress is revealed. Half of the deadly space station is in shadow and this area sparkles with thousands of small lights running in thin lines and occasionally grouped in large clusters; somewhat like a city at night as seen from a weather satellite.]

INT. MITT RHOMBUS’ COCKPIT

Mitt Rhombus: A Priest, this is Mitt Rhombus.

A Priest: (over headset) I copy, Mitt Rhombus.

Mitt Rhombus: We’re starting for the target shaft now.

INT. A PRIEST’S COCKPIT

[A Priest looks around at his wingmen; the Gulag Star looming in from behind. Two NS-wing fighters bob back and forth in the background. He moves his computer targeting device into position.]

A Preist: We’re in position. I’m going to cut across the axis and try and draw their fire.

EXT. SPACE

[Two squads of Bluecrownite fighters peel off. The NS-wings dive towards the Gulag Star surface. A thousand lights glow across the dark grey expanse of the huge station.]

INT. GULAG STAR

[Alarm sirens scream as soldiers scramble to large turbo-powered laser gun emplacements. Electronic drivers rotate the huge guns into position as the crew adjust their targeting devices.]

EXT. SPACE AROUND THE GULAG STAR

[Laserbolts streak through the star-filled night. The Bluecrownite NS-wing fighters move in toward the Callistan base, as the Gulag Star aims its massive laser guns at the Bluecrownite forces and fires.]

INT. MASSASSI OUTPOST - WAR ROOM

[Princess The Gold Mines listens to the battle over the intercom. NAIS is at her side.]

INT. BALOO’S NS-WING FIGHTER - COCKPIT

[Baloo nosedives radically, starting his attack on the monstrous fortress. The Gulag Star surface streaks past the cockpit window.]

Baloo: This is Baloo; I’m going in!

EXT. SPACE

[Baloo’s NS-wing races toward the Gulag Star. Laserbolts streak from Baloo’s weapons, creating a huge fireball explosion on the dim surface.]

INT. BALOO’S NS-WING FIGHTER - COCKPIT

[Terror crosses Baloo’s face as he realizes he won’t be able to pull out in time to avoid the fireball.]

Mongo: (over headset) Baloo, pull up!

EXT. SURFACE OF GULAG STAR

[Baloo’s ship emerges from the fireball, with the leading edges of his wings slightly scorched.]

INT. MONGO’S COCKPIT

Mongo: Are you all right?

INT. BALOO’S NS-WING FIGHTER - COCKPIT

[Baloo adjusts his controls and breathes a sigh of relief. Flak bursts outside the cockpit window.]

Baloo: I got a little cooked, but I’m okay.

EXT. SURFACE OF THE GULAG STAR

[Bluecrownite fighters continue to strafe the Gulag Star’s surface with laserbolts.]

INT. GULAG STAR

[Walls buckle and cave in. Troops and equipment are blown in all directions. Tsartroopers stagger out of the rubble. Standing in the middle of the chaos, a vision of calm and foreboding, is Darth Imperii. One of his Tsar-Officers rushes up to him.]

Tsar-Officer: We count thirty Bluecrownite ships, Lord Imperii. But they’re so small they’re evading our turbo-lasers!

Plus Nova Imperii: We’ll have to destroy them ship to ship. Get the crews to their fighters.

INT. GULAG STAR

[Smoke belches from the giant laser guns as they wind up their turbine generators to create sufficient power. The crew rushes about preparing for another blast. Even the tsartroopers head gear is not adequate to protect them from the overwhelming noise of the monstrous weapon. One of the tsartroopers bangs his helmet with his hand in an attempt to stop the ringing.]

INT. A PRIEST’S NS-WING FIGHTER - COCKPIT - TRAVELING

[A Priest flies through a heavy hail of flak.]

A Priest: Baloo, let me know when you’re going in.

INT. BALOO’S NS-WING - COCKPIT - TRAVELING

[A Priest’s NS-wing flies past Baloo as he puts his nose down and starts his attack dive.]

Baloo: I’m on my way in now…

A Priest: Watch yourself! There’s a lot of fire coming from the right side of that deflection tower.

Baloo: I’m on it.

EXT. SURFACE OF THE GULAG STAR

[Baloo flings his NS-wing into a twisting dive across the horizon and down onto the dim grey surface.]

EXT. BALOO’S NS-WING TRAVELING

[A shot hurls from Baloo’s guns. Laserbolts streak toward the onrushing Gulag Star surface. Several small radar emplacements erupt in flame. Laserfire erupts from a protruding tower on the surface.]

INT. BALOO’S NS-WING - COCKPIT - TRAVELING

[The blurry Gulag Star surface races past the cockpit window as a big smile sweeps across Baloo’s face at the success of his run. Flak thunders on all sides of him.]

EXT. SURFACE OF THE GULAG STAR

[The Gulag Star superstructure races past Baloo as he maneuvers his craft through a wall of laserfire and peels away from the surface towards the heavens.]

INT. GULAG STAR

[The thunder and smoke of the big guns reverberate throughout the massive structure. Many soldiers rush about in the smoke and chaos, silhouetted by the almost continual flash of explosions.]

INT. MONGO’S COCKPIT - TRAVELING

[Mongo dives through a forest of radar domes, antennae, and gun towers as he shoots low across the Gulag Star surface. A dense barrage of laserfire streaks by on all sides.]

INT. GULAG STAR

[Callistan star pilots dash in unison to a line of small auxiliary hatches that lead to Callistan CPP fighters.]

INT. MASSASSI OUTPOST - WAR ROOM

[Princess The Gold Mines, surrounded by her generals and aides, paces nervously before a lighted computer table. On all sides technicians work in front of many lighted glass walls. Time Clock watches quietly from one corner. One of the officers working over a screen speaks into his headset.]

Bluecrownite Control Officer: Squad leaders, we’ve picked up a new group of signals. Enemy fighters coming your way.

INT. BALOO’S NS-WING - COCKPIT - TRAVELING

[Baloo looks around to see if he can spot the approaching Callistan fighters.]

Baloo: My scope’s negative. I don’t see anything.

INT. A PRIEST’S NS-WING - COCKPIT - TRAVELING

[The Gulag Star’s surface sweeps past as A Priest searches the sky for the Callistan fighters. Flak pounds at his ship.]

A Priest: Keep up your visual scanning. With all this jamming, they’ll be on top of you before your scope can pick them up.

EXT. SURFACE OF THE GULAG STAR

[Silhouetted against the rim lights of the Gulag Star horizon, four ferocious Callistan CPP ships dive on the Bluecrownite fighters. Two of the CPP fighters peel off and drop out of frame. Pan with the remaining two CPP ships.]

INT. MONGO’S COCKPIT - TRAVELING

[Mongo panics when he discovers a CPP ship on his tail. The horizon in the background twists around as he peels off, hoping to lose the Callistan fighter.]

INT. A PRIEST’S COCKPIT

A Priest: Mongo! You’ve picked one up… watch it!

Mongo: I can’t see it! Where is he?!

EXT. SPACE AROUND THE GULAG STAR

[Mongo zooms off the surface and into space, closely followed by a Callistan CPP fighter. The CPP ship fires several laserbolts at Mongo, but misses.]

INT. MONGO’S COCKPIT - TRAVELING

[Mongo sees the CPP ship behind him and swings around, trying to avoid him.]

Mongo: He’s on me tight, I can’t shake him… I can’t shake him.

EXT. SPACE AROUND THE GULAG STAR

[Mongo, flying at high altitude, peels off and dives toward the Gulag Star surface, but he is unable to lose the CPP fighter, who sticks close to his tail.]

INT. NS-WING FIGHTER - COCKPIT - TRAVELING

[Baloo is flying upside down. He rotates his ship around to a normal attitude as he comes out of his dive.]

Baloo: Hang on, Mongo, I’m coming in.

EXT. SPACE AROUND THE GULAG STAR

[Mongo and the tailing CPP ship dive for the surface, now followed by a fast-gaining Baloo. After Mongo dives out of sight, Baloo chases the Callistan fighter.]

EXT. SURFACE AROUND THE GULAG STAR

[In the foreground, the Callistan fighter races across the Gulag Star’s surface, closely followed by Baloo in the background.]

INT. BALOO’S NS-WING FIGHTER - COCKPIT - TRAVELING

[There is a shot from Baloo’s NS-wing of the CPP ship exploding in a mass of flames.]

Baloo: Got him!

INT. MAIN HANGAR DECK - BALOO’S SHIP

[Baloo, Leia, and Time Clock meet under a huge space fighter.]

The Gold Mines: What’s wrong?

Baloo: Oh, it’s Barlyy! I don’t know, I really thought he’d change his mind.

The Gold Mines: He’s got to follow his own path. No one can choose it for him.

Baloo: I only wish Kirby were here.

[The Gold Mines gives Baloo a little kiss, turns, and goes off. As Baloo heads for his ship, another pilot rushes up to him and grabs his arm.]

Mongo: Baloo! I don’t believe it! How’d you get here… are you going out with us?!

Baloo: Mongo! Of course, I’ll be up there with you! Listen, have I got some stories to tell…

[Red Leader, A Priest, a ruggedly handsome man in his forties, comes up behind Baloo and Mongo. He has the confident smile of a born leader.]

A Priest: Are you… Baloo? Have you been checked out on the Incom T-sixty- five?

Mongo: Sir, Baloo is the best bushpilot in the outer rim territories.

[A Priest pats Baloo on the back as they stop in front of his fighter.]

A Priest: I met your father once when I was just a boy, he was a great pilot. You’ll do all right. If you’ve got half of your father’s skill, you’ll do better than all right.

Baloo: Thank you, sir. I’ll try.

[A Priest hurries to his own ship.]

Mongo: I’ve got to get aboard. Listen, you’ll tell me your stories when we come back. All right?

Baloo: I told you I’d make it someday, Mongo.

Mongo: (going off) You did, all right. It’s going to be like old times, Baloo. We’re a couple of shooting stars that’ll never be stopped!

[Baloo laughs and shakes his head in agreement. He heads for his ship. As Baloo begins to climb up the ladder into his sleek, deadly spaceship, the crew chief, who is working on the craft, points to little KOE, who is being hoisted into a socket on the back of the fighter.]

Bluecrownite Chief: This K-O unit of your seems a bit beat up. Do you want a new one?

Baloo: Not on your life! That little droid and I have been through a lot together. (to KOE) You okay, KOE?

[The crewmen lower KOE into the craft. Now a part of the exterior shell of the starship, the little droid beeps that he is fine. Baloo climbs up into the cockpit of his fighter and puts on his helmet. NAIS looks on from the floor of the massive hangar as the crewmen secure his little electronic partner into Baloo’s NS-wing. It’s an emotional-filled moment as KOE beeps goodbye.]

Bluecrownite Chief: Okay, easy she goes!

NAIS: Hang on tight, KOE, you’ve got to come back.

[KOE beeps in agreement.]

NAIS: You wouldn’t want my life to get boring, would you?

[KOE whistles his reply. All final preparations are made for the approaching battle. The hangar is buzzing with the last minute activity as the pilots and crewmen alike make their final adjustments. The hum of activity is occasionally trespassed by the distorted voice of the loudspeaker issuing commands. Coupling hoses are disconnected from the ships as they are fueled. Cockpit shields roll smoothly into place over each pilot. A signalman, holding red guiding lights, directs the ships. Baloo, a trace of a smile gracing his lips, peers about through his goggles.]

Kirby’s Voice: Baloo, the Force will be with you.

[Baloo is confused at the voice and taps his headphones.]

EXT. MASSASSI OUTPOST - JUNGLE

[All that can be seen of the fortress is a lone guard standing on a small pedestal jutting out above the dense jungle. The muted gruesome crying sounds that naturally permeate this eerie purgatory are overwhelmed by the thundering din of ion rockets as four silver starships catapult from the foliage in a tight formation and disappear into the morning cloud cover.]

INT. MASSASSI OUTPOST - WAR ROOM

[The princess, NAIS, and a field commander sit quietly before the giant display showing the planet Yavin and its four moons. The red dot that represents the Gulag Star moves ever closer to the system. A series of green dots appear around the fourth moon. A din of indistinct chatter fills the war room.]

Massassi Intercom Voice: Stand-by alert. Gulag Star approaching. Estimated time to firing range, fifteen minutes.

EXT. SPACE

[The Gulag Star slowly moves behind the massive yellow surface of Yavin in the foreground, as many NS-wing fighters flying in formation zoom toward us and out of the frame.]

EXT. SPACE - ANOTHER ANGLE

[Light from a distant sun creates an eerie atmospheric glow around a huge planet, Yavin. Bluecrownite fighters flying in formation settle ominously in the foreground and very slowly pull away.]

INT. A PRIEST’S STARSHIP - COCKPIT

[Red Leader, A Priest, lowers his visor and adjusts his gun sights, looking to each side at his wingmen.]

A Preist: All wings report in.

INT. ANOTHER COCKPIT

[One of the Bluecrownite fighters checks in through his mike.]

Mowgli: Mowgli standing by.

Baloo: (Repeated) Baloo standing by.

EXT. BALOO’S NS-WING FIGHTER

[KOE, in position outside of the fighter, turns his head from side to side and makes beeping sounds.]

INT. A PRIEST’S FIGHTER - COCKPIT

A Priest: Lock NS-foils in attack position.

EXT. SPACE

[The group of NS-wing fighters move in formation toward the Gulag Star, unfolding the wings and locking them in the "NS" position.]

INT. MONGO’S COCKPIT

A Priest: (over headset) We’re passing through their magnetic field.

INT. A PRIEST’S COCKPIT

A Priest: Hold tight!

INT. BALOO’S NS-WING FIGHTER - COCKPIT

[Baloo adjusts his controls as he concentrates on the approaching Gulag Star. The ship begins to be buffeted slightly.]

A Priest: (over headset) Switch your deflectors on.

INT. ANOTHER COCKPIT

A Priest: (over headset) Double front!

EXT. SPACE

[The fighters, now NS-shaped darts, move in formation. The Gulag Star now appears to be a small moon growing rapidly in size as the Bluecrownite fighters approach. Complex patterns on the metallic surface begin to become visible. A large dish antenna is built into the surface on one side.]

INT. SCPF’S COCKPIT

[SCPF is amazed and slightly frightened at the awesome spectacle.]

SCPF: Look at the size of that thing!

A Priest: (over headset) Cut the chatter, SCPF.

INT. A PRIEST'S COCKPIT

A Priest: Accelerate to attack speed. This is it, boys!

EXT. SPACE

[As the fighters move closer to the Gulag Star, the awesome size of the gargantuan Callistan fortress is revealed. Half of the deadly space station is in shadow and this area sparkles with thousands of small lights running in thin lines and occasionally grouped in large clusters; somewhat like a city at night as seen from a weather satellite.]

INT. MITT RHOMBUS’ COCKPIT

Mitt Rhombus: A Priest, this is Mitt Rhombus.

A Priest: (over headset) I copy, Mitt Rhombus.

Mitt Rhombus: We’re starting for the target shaft now.

INT. A PRIEST’S COCKPIT

[A Priest looks around at his wingmen; the Gulag Star looming in from behind. Two NS-wing fighters bob back and forth in the background. He moves his computer targeting device into position.]

A Preist: We’re in position. I’m going to cut across the axis and try and draw their fire.

EXT. SPACE

[Two squads of Bluecrownite fighters peel off. The NS-wings dive towards the Gulag Star surface. A thousand lights glow across the dark grey expanse of the huge station.]

INT. GULAG STAR

[Alarm sirens scream as soldiers scramble to large turbo-powered laser gun emplacements. Electronic drivers rotate the huge guns into position as the crew adjust their targeting devices.]

EXT. SPACE AROUND THE GULAG STAR

[Laserbolts streak through the star-filled night. The Bluecrownite NS-wing fighters move in toward the Callistan base, as the Gulag Star aims its massive laser guns at the Bluecrownite forces and fires.]

INT. MASSASSI OUTPOST - WAR ROOM

[Princess The Gold Mines listens to the battle over the intercom. NAIS is at her side.]

SCPF: (over war room speaker system) Heavy fire, boss! Twenty-degrees.

A Priest: (over speaker) I see it. Stay low.

EXT. SPACE

[An NS-wing zooms across the surface of the Gulag Star.]

INT. GULAG STAR

[Technical crews scurry here and there loading last-minute armaments and unlocking power cables.]

INT. SCPF’S COCKPIT

[SCPF maneuvers his fighter toward the menacing Gulag Star.]

EXT. SPACE

[NS-wings continue in their attack course on the Gulag Star.]
