As they drift through empty space, they come across a derelict Star Destroyer from which they hope to salvage enough parts to repair the barge. The story is set just prior to the events from "A New Hope" and follows the crew of an Imperial prison barge who become stranded when the barge breaks down on route to a prison colony.
