By:  John Whitman Published by Bantam Books October 1997 Tash, Zak, and their uncle Hoole want to make sure that Barborygmus Gog's Project Starscream has been destroyed.  So they journey to Kiva, a planet on the galaxy's Outer Rim. Kiva is dark, rocky, and barren. Except for some strange shadows, the planet is completely lifeless. And when they find Gog's laboratory, it's empty. Or so they think. . . .

    "We can't just leave you!" Tash argued.
    "This is our fight, Tash," Luke said calmly.  "Vader is more powerful than you can imagine.  You've got to get out of here.  We'll hold the Imperials off as long as we can."
    Hoole shook his head.  "We cannot allow you to risk your lives on our account."
    "Hey, risking my life for other people's problems has become a hobby," Han smirked.
    Leia pointed to four of the Rebel commandos.  "Sikes!  Bergan!  Tino!  Meex!  Front and center!"
    The four commandos hustled forward.  "You guys have a new assignment.  Get these civilians safely back to the ships.  If we haven't joined you in four hours, blast off this planet and don't look back."
    "Yes, Your Highness!" said the commandos.
    "We're leaving," Hoole said.  "Where's the child?"
    "I hid him over here where it was safe from the blaster fire," Zak said.  "He's right behind this rock."
    Zak stepped behind the rock, and gasped.
    The baby was now a little boy.
