Having escaped Darth Vader, Obi-Wan and Tala infiltrate the Inquisitors' stronghold on the ocean moon of Nur in the Mustafar system to rescue a captured Leia, who is being interrogated by the Third Sister. During the infiltration, Obi-Wan discovers a vault full of preserved, dead Jedi that the Empire had captured. While they are successful in freeing Leia, Tala's cover is blown and they have to fight their way out, escaping with the help of Roken and his guerilla troops. An enraged Vader threatens to kill the Third Sister for her failure, but spares her when she reveals she has put a tracker on the group. Back on the ship, the tracker is revealed to be placed in Leia's companion droid, Lola.
