Vader arrogantly declares that Starkiller was nothing more than a failed experiment and now was finally out of his way. As the smoke clears, Starkiller's body is shown to have survived the explosion, but he is unmistakingly dead. Enraged, Kota tries to attack Vader, but is suddenly brought down by a flurry of blaster bolts, revealed to have been fired by Boba Fett. The fuel cell explodes on contact and completely destroys the Rogue Shadow, consuming Starkiller in the explosion. Vader, angry that Starkiller is still alive, grabs a nearby fuel cell with the Force and hurls it at Starkiller. Kota finally returns from the larger battle to witness the last moments of the duel. Despite this vicious assault, Starkiller is still alive. Vader takes advantage of this and grabs Starkiller with the Force, starting to repetedly slam him into the side of the Rogue Shadow over and over again. Starkiller, being worn from the earlier battle and his fight against Boba Fett, is starting to show signs of fatigue. The duel eventually leads close to where the Rogue Shadow is parked. The two begin to duel, with their fight taking them all over the base and eventually back outside of it after they go through a service exit. When he reaches the command center, he finds Vader strangling General Dodonna with the Force. Starkiller rushes back into the base and fights through the Imperials within the base, which includes Shadow Troopers, Saber Guards, and even Sith Acolytes. Fett is unfazed by his defeat, however, and admits that he was simply distracting Starkiller to buy time for an elite squadron to break into the Rebel base to rescue Darth Vader. Fett proves himself to be more than a match for Starkiller, but Starkiller calls upon the Force to ultimately defeat Fett. Kota returns to the larger battle while Starkiller fights Boba Fett. At that moment, Starkiller is confronted by the bounty hunter Boba Fett, who reveals that he tracked Starkiller from Kamino and tipped off the Empire to their location. Starkiller and Kota are able to lead the Rebel forces in an effective defense of the Ralltiir base. They both rush outside to join the battle that has already begun. Dodonna hastily orders a counterstrike to defend their base, with Starkiller and Kota taking charge of leading it. Moments later, an aide rushes in to inform them that an Imperial strike force had arrived at Ralltiir. Dodonna reveals that he had learned of several secret hyperlanes that could only be accessed by high-ranking Empire officials, and he could use information extracted from Vader to access these hyperlanes and launch a three-way attack on what he believed to be the Empire's three most vital worlds: Coruscant, Kuat (where most of their starships were constructed) and Carida (where most of their military was trained.) At that moment, Starkiller senses a disturbance in the Force. Dodonna has Vader transported to a high-security holding cell within the base to await interrogation before calling Starkiller and his associates into the primary command center of the base, where he initiates a holo-conference call with Bail Organa, Mon Mothma, and Garm Bel Iblis. They arrive at the Rebel base on Ralltiir, where they meet General Jan Dodonna, along with several other members of the Alliance military command. Organa says that he will meet them at Ralltiir after they are done interrogating Darth Vader so he could have Vader brought to Alderaan to be tried in court for his crimes. On board the Rogue Shadow, Starkiller, Rahm Kota and Juno are speaking with Bail Organa through PROXY. In the immediate aftermath of the events on Kamino, the rebel fleet still has Darth Vader in their captivity, and are currently travelling to a Rebel base on Ralltiir. This plan of theirs may not be as easy to execute as it seems.
