Metalorn, which is a factory planet, has been completely controlled by the Empire under the direction of Governor Corwyth who keeps the existence of the Rebellion a secret from the citizens and workers.
Leia manages to evade Imperial stormtroopers long enough to contact her former Alderaanian instructor, Arn Horada, in order to have him spread the word that the Rebel Alliance is actively opposing the Empire’s tyranny. She is quickly confronted by Baron Tagge before she is able to establish any details, but escapes with the help of a new friend.
