Legend

this was the assumed name used by Han Solo, Atuarre, Pakka, and Bollux as they pretend to be entertainers from the Imperial Entertainment Guild, in order to try to gain access to the Stars' End prison facility, several years before the Battle of Yavin. Viceprex Hirken had requested a new set of entertainers, but the original troupe had to delay. Han managed to intercept the message from Hokkor Long that apologized for the delay, and created Madame Atuarre's Roving Performers as the replacement act. Playing on their individual strengths, Atuarre played a dancer, Pakka played an acrobat, and Han was the Master Marksman. Bollux was along for the ride, since Hirken's request specifically asked for a droid. When they arrived, however, they discovered that Hirken had been expecting a gladitor droid. Hirken became suspicious when Bollux didn't appear when the fighting began, and realized that he had been duped when the droid was unable to even bring a weapon to bear.
