The Millennium Falcon, far more maneuverable than the other ship, dartedaround the larger asteroids as they came rocketing toward it. The Falcon wassucceeding in holding its lead in front of the Avenger, but it was clear that the steadilypursuing ship was not about to abandon the chase. Suddenly a gigantic asteroid appeared in the Millennium Falcon's path, rushingtoward the freighter at incredible speed. The ship quickly banked out of the way,and the asteroid hurtled past it, only to explode harmlessly against the Avenger's hull. Han Solo glimpsed the explosion's flare through the front window of his ship'scockpit. The craft that followed them seemed absolutely invulnerable; but he had notime to reflect on the differences between the ships. It took everything in his powerto maintain control of the Falcon as it was pelted by Imperial cannon fire. Princess Leia tensely watched the asteroids and cannon fire flaring in theblackness of space outside the cockpit windows. Her fingers had tightened on thearms of her chair. Silently she hoped against hope that they would emerge from thischase alive.
