Captain Darr , appalled at the Devisors treatment of the off - worlders , especially after the crew had assisted in the defense of the cruiser , " Desaclates " , managed to take custody of the rest of the crew . He took them to the home of Eida Sharden , who was a member of the insurgency in Caballa City . Opposition to the Devisors ' rule had been a constant problem for the ruling caste , ever since the colony ship " Exocros Cabal " had arrived at the planet . Elements of the populace felt that the Devisors were denying them their birthright , but the Devisors held onto their power through the control of advanced technology . Sharden and her insurgents agreed to help the crew of the " FarStar " free their ship and liberate their captain since she knew that such a strike would cause the downfall of the Devisors as well .

They engaged the Skyraptors , utilizing their superior agility and firepower to deal with them . With the way clear , the X - wings launched a proton torpedo attack on the bunker , but found their weapons unable to pentrate the thick walls . They realized that they had to drop their torpedoes in the narrow slit of the bunker where the tractor beam was emanating from . However , a second wave of Skyraptors engaged the X - wings before they could launch a second attack run .
