Listen, you know it, I know it, my dog knows it. Leia knows all this and would like to tackle every one of those problems at once but she has also just been proposed to by Han and he can't think of anything less appealing than spending their upcoming honeymoon on the new and gleaming luxury cruiser Halcyron talking politics. The Rebel leaders know this just as well as they know that remaining Empire supporters would benefit immensely from a galaxy-wide Mangel of fuel that – if in the hands of the wrong people – would cause worlds still doubtful about joining the burgeoning Republic to look for fuel and support from other sources. After all, lots of governments and worlds profited from the constant war the Empire was raging and they would have an interest in hiding and secretly supporting leftover battalions and remnant Empire officers. Only days after the explosion of the second Death Star, there are rumours that the Empire isn't completely defeated yet.

As the Halcyon travels from world to world, one thing becomes abundantly clear: The war is not over.
