In the Sarapin system, pirates fleeing with stolen cargo ran headfirst into an Incursor-class cruiser on patrol. Under heavy fire, they jettisoned their goods, racing to outrun the Empire’s wrath. The cargo drifted into the void, abandoned as the pirates made their desperate escape.
This artwork is a tribute to the opening of the original Star Wars, with the Star Destroyer pursuing the Rebel blockade runner (as well as a subtle nod to Greedo's line about Han Solo dropping his cargo at the first sign of an Imperial ship). It’s gratifying to see the original designs taking center stage in reimagined iconic moments from the Star Wars saga.
