Fistful of Lead News

"An Imperial scientist has gone rogue. He has valuable information and is being held at an Imperial facility on a backwater planet named Tatooine. Your mission is to capture him and find out what information he has." That was the Rebel briefing. The Rebels are commanded by the extremist Saw Gerrara.
