After a grueling rescue mission , Ania was arrested for the alleged murder of the Imperial Knight Teemen Alton . However , Jao succeeds in clearing Ania ' s name by presenting evidence that the real murderer was a deceased bounty hunter who had tried to frame her for the crime . While Ania was acquitted and released by the Galactic Federation Triumvirate , Jao Assam is arrested and imprisoned for deserting the Imperial Knights , a crime which carried the death penalty . In prison , he was visited by his quarry Darth Wredd who helps him escape from prison . Jao decides to follow Wredd in order to foil his plot against Empress Fel . Meanwhile , Jao ' s friends Ania , the Mon Calamari Sauk , the assassin droid AG - 37 , and a force of Trandoshan stormtroopers are sent by the Empress on a mission to rescue Jao Assam . After receiving Mala ' s coordinates from Jao , AG - 37 ' s freighter reaches the floating world which they had encountered earlier during the Carreras Incident a year ago . AG - 37 ' s freighter lands near the wrecked Carreras G51 communications array , which was destroyed in a collision with Mala during the Carreras Incident . After instructing her stormtroopers not to send any outgoing transmissions , Ania ' s rescue party explored a cave . Unknown to Ania , one of the stormtroopers held back and sends a transmission to an unknown party , later revealed to be the Fel Empire . Inside the cave , they found a captive Jao , who was being held suspended by several restraints . After freeing him , Jao revealed that Darth Wredd had intended to lure the Imperials to Mala . Shortly later , a fleet of civilian starships lands near the Carreras communications array . It turned out that these new visitors are a large army of One Sith , who had learnt about Darth Wredd ' s whereabouts and were out to hunt and kill him . Believing that Ania and the Imperials are sheltering the rogue Sith , the Sith leader Fanoste , whose cover job was a diplomat , orders his followers to attack the Imperials and Ania ' s team . During the fighting , Darth Wredd resurfaces and aids Ania ' s party by killing several Sith with his lightsaber . He also hands Jao a Sith lightsaber , allowing the Imperial Knight to join the fighting . Despite their valiant resistance , Ania ' s party are quickly overwhelmed by the One Sith horde and are forced to retreat into the Carreras communications array . During the fighting , Wredd and Jao succeeded in slowing down the One Sith advance by using the Force to push a wrecked portion of the communications array onto the One Sith horde , crushing many Sith . This enables Ania , Sauk , AG - 37 , and the stormtroopers to retreat to a trench position within the communications array . Sauk confronted the stormtrooper who had sent the transmissions and accused him of working for the Sith . However , the stormtrooper protested his innocence and stressed his loyalty to Empress Fel . At that point , Wredd arrived and stated that he was the real quarry of the Sith . During a heated conversation with Jao , Wredd tries to rationalize his actions by claiming that he is providing a service to the Triumvirate by rooting out Sith infiltrators . Wredd also reveals his plans to restore the Rule of Two and offers Jao a place as his Sith apprentice . Jao rejects Wredd ' s offer and spurns the dark side of the Force , citing his loyalty to the Empress . Their argument is interrupted by the arrival of the One Sith army , who have caught up with Ania ' s party . In the midst of the fighting , Imperial reinforcements under Empress Fel herself arrive at the communications array . A flight of " Predator " - class fighters flew over the trench and strafed several Sith . After the One Sith reject an ultimatum by the Imperial authorities to lay down their arms , the Empress deploys her Imperial Knights and stormtroopers onto the battlefield , thus beginning the second stage of the Battle of the Floating World .
