Clone Captain Rex is torn between his duty to follow orders, and his commitment to keeping his troops safe. General Krell's commands seem to needlessly risk the lives of the 501st, and some of the troops are willing to defy orders to keep their brothers safe.

The pragmatic Jesse has been studying the captured Umbaran starfighters at the airbase, for potential use in a covert, rogue operation.

Hardcase got a taste of the Umbaran starfighters when he stole one to provide much needed air support for the 501st troopers. Now, he's getting the hang of the tricky fighters.

Fives has had it with Krell's misguided command. He knows of a better alternative to capture the Umbaran capital, and will go to any length to carry out his forbidden plan.

Hardcase and Fives crack the encryption codes on their Umbaran starfighters and master the slippery controls of the alien vessels to slip into the enemy lines in the thick of battle high above the planet.

Suspended in orbit over Umbara is a massive Separatist supply ship. From within the ship's cavernous holds, the Umbaran forces are equipped with the latest long-range missiles and other weaponry needed to protect their capital.
