Incorporating the Anselmi'ssacred firestone of KingSkrawll, and the Nautolans'Leviathan Gem, the relic was sculpted from the royal jewels of both people during a time of harmony between the species. As the two sides argue over whose possession it should be in, agroup ofblackarmor-ladenthieves burst in and kill theSenate Guards, intent on stealing the Hope of Glee Anselm.The heist is later covered by theHoloNet News, who reveal that while Republic forces killed most of the thieves, one managed to get away with the relic. Those who remained spontaneouslycombusted, concealing the identities of the thieves. The ordeal is framed as an embarrassment for Chancellor Valorum's administration. Another failure is the devolving trade negotiations between theTrade Federation andNaboo.

There Fett is informed of a new job by thedroid.Y3-99 shows Fett a transmission of Governor Tok, asking to recover the Hope of Glee Anselm on behalf of the Republic.

When another patron comments on theirtracking fob, the Hauks swat his drink on the ground and exit thecantina. The man follows them into an alleyway outside and picks a fight with the much larger Hauks, where he uses his impressive close combat skills to incapacitate them and defeat them with their ownelectrostaffs. Before leaving with the tracking fob, he reveals his name to beVigor Struk.

On theExpansion Region planetMegalox Beta, in Megalox Penitentiary, theprisonwarden and many Republicjudicials stand armed and ready for a prisoner transfer. As the prisonerAurra Sing arrives on the elevator, JudicialHuijari secretly hands the warden a bag ofcredits for her troubles and for purging files.

At a landing platform on Halmad, Jango Fett walks to his ship,Slave I, with Y3-99. They spot a group of black-armored individuals loitering around his ship.

With this, the Mandalorian bounty hunter departs the planet on hisstarship to start his hunt.
