While traveling to Biitu to meet their new master Mungo Baobab, C‑3PO and R2‑D2’s ship is attacked and they are captured. The planet has fallen under the control of the massive mechanical Great Heep, an Empire‑aligned tyrant who enslaves the natives with droid enforcers and siphons R2 units to fuel his power. Meanwhile Mungo is imprisoned, destined to be delivered to his arch‑enemy, Admiral Screed.
