The Falcon outran the pursuing Star Destroyers and hid within the Hoth![](MyCollection_Unit_Hoth (planet).jpg) | HothPlanet | asteroid field, but the Avenger plunged into the field, intent on completing its assignment. The search proved to be hazardous as the warship sustained damage, and its gunners were forced to fire on the asteroids rather than remain alert for the elusive freighter. Nevertheless, when the Falcon emerged from the maelstrom, the Avenger was right behind the freighter. Before Needa could detain the craft, Solo charged the Avenger and landed on a blind spot on the aft of the destroyer's conning tower; as a result, the destroyer's sensors could not find the vessel.Believing to have failed his mission, Needa went to the Star Dreadnought![](MyCollection_Unit_Super-class Star Destroyer.jpg) | Super-class Star DestroyerStarshipStarship Models | Executor![](MyCollection_Unit_Executor (Super-class Star Destroyer).jpg) | Executor(Super-class Star Destroyer)StarshipNamed Starships | to personally apologize to Vader.
