When a plague spread through the " Purge " , the brothers were unaffected , though many others died . Trig was frightened and Kale did all he could to soothe him as well as tried to get him to talk about what happened to their father Von , though to no avail . During this time , Kale wrote an unfinished letter to Von and hid it under his mattress , though Trig found it without his brother ' s knowledge and added to it . Trig and Kale tried to sell illegal blasters and power packs to Aur Myss , but the deal went sour as Myss tried to have the two brothers killed . Kale ripped out the rings in Myss ' s face and they escaped . A guard named Wembly later informed Trig that Myss had put out a bounty on him and his brother and soon Myss was in the cell next to the Longo boys . When the plague swept through the " Purge " , Trig and Kale were unaffected by it . However , they had no food and were facing starvation . Wembly ' s last act was to release the cell doors . Trig and Kale walked out , but were almost immediately attacked by Myss . Kale killed him by thrusting a knife through his skull . The two brothers came across the dead bodies all over the " Purge " . Thinking they were the only two still alive , they found an escape pod and were about to escape , but Jareth Sartoris showed up and took the pod , leaving them behind . Trig and Kale went to the opposite side of the ship and found another escape pod . There they met Han Solo and Chewbacca , who were going to take the pod and leave them behind again . However , Zahara Cody arrived and informed them that the pod could not be launched without the launch codes . Cody and the two smugglers went to the command center to find the codes while Trig and Kale stayed with the pod . Hearing a noise , Kale went to investigate , while Trig stayed behind . Trig heard scratching noises from inside the pod , and at that same moment Cody found the codes and released the door . A zombie jumped out and chased after Trig , trying to eat him . He managed to escape and found Kale . More zombies showed up and the brothers ran to the command center , where Cody , Han , and Chewie were trying to fight off more zombies . Trig saw the dead body of his father and tried to go to him . Kale saved him , but was bitten by his father instead . Then , the five survivors boarded the " Vector " , hoping to find a ship to escape on . Vector and Familiar Faces . Realizing they had to release the tractor beam before taking a ship , the five of them tried to go to the command center of the Star Destroyer . However , Kale ' s injury left him unable to walk , so he stayed behind , along with Cody . Trig and the two smugglers went ahead . Being chased by zombies , Trig , Han , and Chewbacca found the only way to the command center was to cross a chasm on a narrow catwalk . Trig was afraid to cross it , so he stayed put , while Han and Chewie continued on . Trig was astonished to see his brother Kale walk past him and enter a chamber . Trig went after Kale , wondering why his brother was not responding to him . Entering the room , Kale was nowhere to be seen . Trig soon realized the room he was in was filled with dead bodies . The door back out was locked , but there was a ventilation shaft overhead . Climbing the bodies , Trig found he was being chased by a zombie wearing a stormtrooper helmet . Trig made it to the shaft , but the zombie jumped on top of him and the helmet came off . Trig was horrified to find it was his brother Kale . One half of his face had been shot off and his body had been infected by the plague . Crying and seeing there was no way to save his beloved brother , Trig pushed him out of the shaft and into the chasm below . Trig soon saw the chasm was full of zombies , the original crew of the Star Destroyer . They only way to escape was to go down to the catwalk . If he missed he would fall into the heap of the dead . Going back up was not an option either . The dead bodies had come to life and were following the smell of fresh meat that Trig represented . The decision was taken out of his hands when the creatures at te bottom of the pit began to fire blaster rifles up at him , damaging the ventilation shaft and causing him to fall out onto the catwalk . Trig managed to hold on , but the zombies began to jump out after him . They all missed except for one , who latched onto Trig ' s leg . It was Aur Myss . While Han Solo and Chewbacca debated going back out onto the catwalk after him , Trig finally lost his grip and began to plummet down towards the waiting dead . Just as it seemed death would be imminent , a hoverlifter smacked into them . Myss plummeted below and Trig was swept inside . The pilot was Jareth Sartoris . Picking up Han and Chewie — who had disabled the tractor beam — Sartoris told Trig that his father had been a good man and would have been proud of him . Sartoris had been bitten and knew he was going to die . Realizing that his weight was slowing down the lifter , he told Trig to take the controls and then jumped below , into the sea of creatures . Escape from the Plague . Believing Cody to be dead , Trig , Han , and Chewie made their way to a shuttle that Sartoris had told them about . They took off in it , along with two stormtroopers . Thinking they were finally safe , they were proved wrong when they found that a zombie had stowed away . It quickly killed both troopers and then attacked Han , but was shot by Zahara Cody , who had not died after all , but had in fact been saved by White , another stormtrooper . On the trip back to civilization , Han taught Trig how to pilot the shuttle . The only four survivors from the entire population of " Vector " and the " Purge " eventually landed on Galantos . Han and Chewie went one way , explaining they planned to get their ship out of impound , while Trig went with Cody to the planet Chandrila . Trig and Cody went to deliver a letter to Kai Zook , one her husband had wrote to her and her children before falling victim to the plague . She then invited them in for something to drink . Trig told Cody that he could imagine himself settling down there someday , though it is unknown if he ever did .
