While refuelling his ship on the agricultural planet Taanab after shipping a denta bean cargo, Lando Calrissian is caught on the surface during a pirate raid. Instead of huddling and waiting for the squall to blow over, Calrissian accepted a wager of a drunken cantina patron and flew an unnamed freighter against the notorious Norulac freebooters. The battle was short and one ? sided, Calrissian smashed and humiliated the pirate fleet, even dumping his outgoing cargo of electrified netting in order to tangle the enemy ships into one helpless, immovable lump. Resulting from the bet, Calrissian gains the deed to a Clendoran brewery from free-trader Gathal Danager. He was a hero on Taanab, but his fame did not extend past the sector?s borders. That changed, however, when TriNebulon News picked up the story months later and broadcast it across the newsnets. Calrissian became a minor celebrity and the subject of endless ?can you believe it? barroom banter. Years later, this notoriety is precisely what would convince Alliance High Command to promote Calrissian to the rank of general, just prior to the Battle of Endor.
