Not much progression story-wise i know, but something to light up the mood. See you. 
The Colliding of Empires
From one moment to the other the bluewhite tunnel marking the travel at faster-than-light-velocities vanished and the familiar darkness of space only interrupted by tiny sparks of stars returned. The emissaries of the Alliance to Restore the Republic had arrived in Hutt-space.
"Welcome to the system of Nal Hutta and Nar Shadda, your highness." Han said, turning to the passenger-seat behind him and showing Princess Leia Organa a light-hearted grin. "We are right on shedule, so please check your luggage and pass-ports."
Leia, reliefed that there had been no other clashes between her and Han during the journey, smiled back and said. "Thank you, Captain, i'll make sure to recommend you."
Before Han could come up with a witty remark Chewbacca answered the Princess with an amused huff, what caused the smuggler to look questioningly at his partner. "What do you mean "praise or threat"?"
Another bark followed.
"I know she is a diplomat."
"You're highness, Chewbacca doesn't seem to held your profession in high regard." joined C-3PO the conversation, what caused the Wookiee to bark at the protocol-droid.
"What do you mean "the people she consorts with"? You and Captain Solo have become valuable members of ... ." shot the droid back, what caused Leia to put her hand in a comforting, but also restraining gesture on C-3POs shoulder.
"Easy 3PO, Chewbacca isn't talking about Han and himself, but about the people we are going to met with." she looked at the Wookiee, wondering where his loyalties were in this regard.
She had learned over time, that many people - even some of the highest ranking members of the alliance - viewed Chewbacca as the sidekick of Han Solo, a fur-covered extension of the human smuggler and not as an individual being in his own right. She knew, that Han wasn't happy about the efforts of the Alliance to come to terms with the Hutts, but what was Chewbacca - as a former slave - thinking about the negotiations she was going to undertake? And with him many of the non-human and ordinary members of the Alliance? But she also sensed, that there was more to the Wookiees - it wasn't hostility, more a cool keeping of distance towards her - and with regret she realized, that the sensitive alien had noticed the troubles between her and Han. And no matter how much she valued Chewbacca's friendship, wanted to view him as part of her extended family his loyality was to Han. Not to her, not to the Rebel-Alliance, not to the war against the empire. If she lost Han, she would lose Chewie too and Leia didn't have that many friends left.
The former Princess of Alderaan realized, that - even if the coming negotiations would be a success on the political level they might still mean desaster for her on the personal level. It was a thought, that scared her a lot, but what scared her even more was the realisation, that she was willing to make that sacrifice. There was a war going on and the only thing between the tyranny of the GalacticEmpire and absolute power over the galaxy was the Alliance. What did the personal happiness of Leia Organa matter in that context? The personal happiness of Darth Vader's daughter Leia corrected, trying to be honest with herself.
"Oh." made 3PO. To Leia it was still amazing how well the droid was able to imitate human behaviour and emotions. "I'll admit, that our past experiences with the Hutts weren't the best, but don't you think, that our chances will be better this time? Certainly not all members of the Hutt-species are like Jabba and we should have a little faith, that the members of the council know, what they are doing."
Those words from the gold-clad protocol-droid came as a surprise to the organic beings inside the cockpit of the MilleniumFalcon, especially considering the own experiences 3PO had made in Jabba's palace. Han and Chewbacca were surprised, because usually C-3PO was scared by his own shadow and often moaned about the incredible odds against them. Leia was surprised, because it had to be a droid to remind her, that it was wrong to judge an entire species on the deeds or misdeeds of a single individuum. For 3PO that was a drastic change from his usual behaviour. Judging by the questioning look of Han the smuggler had similar thoughts. "You're sure, this is our C-3PO?" his eyes seemed to ask. Leia could only helplessly shake her head. "Not now." she signaled him. The exchange was done in milli-seconds, then Han concentrated on 3PO again.
"C-3PO, the problem is, that the Hutts who would be useful for the Alliance ARE like Jabba or worse. And no, the council doesn't know, what they are doing." Han explained.
"I understand, Captain. But if you're right, why are we here?"
"Because we are desperate." answered Han with a groan. "And because i could be wrong."
"What would be a good thing for once." finished Leia with a smile, remembering some of the crazier things Han had done and survived.
"But only this once." the smuggler shot back, but it was lost under the barking laughter of Chewbacca.
When the noise had died down Leia ordered C-3PO out of the cockpit and to look at the few items she had brought with her, while Han asked Chewbacca to look after the engines of the Falcon, because you never knew, if you needed them ready for an emergency-take off. Just in case.
When they were alone Leia moved forward and took place in the co-pilots chair.
"So that's it?" she asked. "Nal Hutta and Nar Shadda."
"Yip." confirmed Han. "Nowhere else do you find as much scum as in Mos Eisley according to Ben Kenobi or so Luke told me. Obviously the old man never visited Nar Shadda."
"That bad?"
"Worse." Han answered with a grin. "I used to live there. Smugglers, thieves, murderers, bounty-hunters, slymongers, slave-holders ... ."
"No star destroyers in orbit, no imperial garrison, no stormtroopers at every corner, no surveillance-droids, no hyperspace orbiting scanners ... ."
"... and the trains are never punctual." finished Han, realizing that he was unable to convince Leia to give up this stupid idea of negotiating with the Hutts.
"How dare they. And you really used to live there?" The curiosity of the Princess was agitated.
"As already said, yes. I'm probabely still registered here. A nice lofty appartment, if you need to know." Which was true in a way. Han Solo had spent a lot of happy hours with Salla Zend there.
"And you're not afraid, that your place is under surveillance? I mean, there would always be the possibility, that you'd show up." Leia was suddenly worried, that there might problems arise from an angle nobody had expected. From one moment to the other the harsh realities of war were back on her mind.
"That's true, but since we're not landing on Nar Shadda there shouldn't be a problem. And even if, in that case our backup would get a chance to earn its money." Han activated the comm. "Hello backup, are you there?"
"There and ready for everything." answered the voice of Wes Janson. "Although me and the comrades are a little bored and in need of some action."
"Lets get one thing straight, Lieutenant." joined Leia the conversation in her best Princess of Alderaan voice. "If you and your comrades get "some action" as you described it, then this mission has failed. Do you understand that?" The smile on her face was pure saccarine. Poisonous saccarine.
"Uhm, yes your highness." came the muffled replay.
"Good. Falcon out." Leia dropped back in her seat, rubbing her forehead she asked herself, if she hadn't been overreacting in her reprimand of Janson. Obviously she wasn't the only one, because Han watched her questioningly.
"What?" she asked.
"Weren't you a little bit, well, harsh on the poor guy?"
Leia considered the question for several moments. "Possible." she finally admitted. "On the other hand, why should i be the only one worried about success or failure of this mission?"
"You aren't." Han consoled. "It is just, that Janson isn't high enough the ladder to know the big picture. He lacks the information he needs to be concerned, so he and those like him do the second-best they can: they don't worry about things they don't know. The only way for an ordinary soldier to keep his sanity intact."
That caused a low chuckle to escape from Leia's lips. "Han, am i discovering completely new sides on you or what?"
"Basic military psychology, ImperialNavyAcademy, Grade Two. For those few of the cadet-pool who understand, that there are other means to an end aside from turbolasers, bigger turbolasers and even bigger turbolasers. I don't know why, but since Madine and Ackbar made me a General, all those lectures are suddenly surfacing and ... ."
Han Solo wasn't able to finish the sentence, because Leia suddenly grabbed his arm.
"Han, look out and tell me, that i see, what i see."
"What's wrong, Leia, what are you ... oh."
Following Leia's gaze out of the window Han saw it, too. Slowly emerging from behind the horizon of Nal Hutta the object could as well have appeared out of nothing.
Not a Star Destroyer. Not even a Super Star Destroyer. But a huge sphere with a ring-roll around its equator.
A sphere like the one, that had destroyed an alliance-task-force at the battle of Ord Friggas.

Well, it seems that Roi Danton has reached Nar Shadda. Poor rebels, they think that this is the same ship that nearly destroyed the Alliance. I can only hope that good old Mike does the right thing and defuses the situation before Han & co flee.
(and I hope that the next update will come much sooner...)

Nice update. Can't believe I've missed it until now.
Negotiating with the Hutts? Isn't there a bounty on their heads after what they did to Jabba?

Go Fteik!
Hope you continue. It's really good, I was literally glued to the chair until I had read it all.
You are really able to capture the feeling and even the humor of PR, and I wonder if good Fteik is actually one of the writers of the series. I can't see much difference to the original, as far as Rhodan is concerned, maybe it's a little less bombastical. But then again, I have only read the first 350 issues of so. The classic Rhodan/Atlan/Gucky exchanges are all there. And the SW characters are portrayed very well too.
I wonder where this is all going to lead to, it is really a "Colliding of Empires", there is much great stuff to come, with an Akon fleet led by Terran agents and the Terran fleet on their way to a SW galaxy that is about to explode anyway. You could make your own cycle out of that.
Empire/Ssi-Ruuk/Rebels/Solar Empire/USO/Akonides/Roi Danton. What a mixture! In there, all the favourite characters from both worlds.
Also, ein großes 'Superklasse', wenn Du erlaubst.
I'll watch this thread...
