In the Undercity of Taris constable Noana Sowrs is chased by the rakghouls . When she is about to be overwhelmed , Celeste Morne appears and quickly gets rid of all the monsters . Constable reveals that Cassus Fett ' s plan to ambush and scatter the resistance has succeeded and the remaining members had been driven into the Undercity . Celeste notices that Noana is biten and kills her moments after she transforms into a rakghoul . After a huge explosion Zayne Carrick and Marn Hierogryph appear , chased by a swarm of rakghouls . When Celeste saves them , they decide to follow her , despite her reluctance . Shortly after they come up on the group of Mandalorian Neo - Crusaders , led by Pulsipher , who had just found the Muur Talisman . Celeste follows them , with Zayne and Gryph keeping behind her . The trio hides on the ship taking Pulsipher ' s team to Jebble . Shortly before the landing Pulsipher manages to activate Muur Talisman which attaches itself to his arm and infects the Mandalorians around him . When the ship lands , Pulsipher goes to his lab and Celeste follows him , while Zayne and Gryph are spotted by a Mandalorian Sergeant , who mistakes them for new recruits and directs them back into " their group " . The group consists of all kind of scum and villainy from Outer Rim worlds , including Wargo and Frazznik , whom Zayne and Gryph previously encountered on Taris . The Rally Master declares that every recruit who follows the Resol ' nare will be considered Mandalorian and announces that the army is going to invade Alderaan . Reuniting with Celeste , Zayne and Gryph , who is now wearing Mandalorian armor , decide to infiltrate the Ice Citadel . Gryph pretends to lead Tarisian slicers to assist Pulsipher , which is convincing enough for the guard to let them inside the War Forge . Once inside Gryph is separated from Zayne and Celeste , who encounter a group of Mandalorian Neo - Crusaders . Suddenly the warriors transform into rakghouls and Zayne and Celeste have no choice but to run . However they realize soon that they have nowhere to run , because there are millions of recruits outside the Citadel and with forthcoming invasion the Rakghoul plague is about to become intergalactic . With incredible luck Zayne and Celeste are able to lose their pursuit . In the following conversation Zayne reveals to Celeste that his masters , not him , are responsible for the Padawan Massacre of Taris , as well as some knowledge about the Jedi Covenant and its leader Krynda Draay . Celeste is shocked by hearing this and tries to justify Covenant ' s action , without revealing to Zayne thay she ' s itself a part of it . Meanwhile in the Data Center Gryph finds Lucien ' s record about the history of Muur Talisman and its creator Karness Muur , as well as the mention of Celeste Morne as one of the Covenant ' s agents . In the communication dome Celeste contacts Lucien Draay , who orders her to retrieve Talisman and to kill Zayne Carrick . Celeste , however , is unsure about that and when she has the chance to strike him down , she does not . Meanwhile Zayne contacts Cassus Fett and warns him not to land because of the plague . Fett is suspicious of him , but decides to check if his report was true . Zayne heads back to the citadel to find Gryph , but is ambushed by rakghouls and taken to Pulsipher ' s laboratory , where the latter demands any knowledge of the talisman Carrick possesses . Zayne tries to persuade Pulsipher to get rid of the artifact and Pulsipher threatens to put Zayne into another Sith artifact in his possession - Dreypa ' s Oubliette – for any living being put inside it will remain there , enduring an eternal life that is worse than death for ages , until the galaxy collapses on itself . Suddenly the Talisman detaches itself from Pulsipher and heads towards Zayne . Losing control on the rakghouls , Pulsipher is immediately torn apart by them , but Celeste appears and slays them afterward . Zayne hopes that by controlling the Talisman he could stop rakghoul plague from spreading , but Celeste demands that he is not supposed to do that and struggles to stop talisman from attaching itself to Zayne . Gryph comes in and demands that both stay away from the talisman , and in that moment Celeste calls talisman to herself . The artifact immediately attaches itself to her and after a moment of shock and pain Celeste is able to see the spirit of Karness Muur . More rakghouls arrive , but at the moment they are no danger to Zayne and Gryph , because they are now controlled by Celeste . Now , under command by Celeste Morne the rakghouls dispose of remaining Mandalorians using their own vehicles and weapons . Celeste has got through a radical metamorphose – she now sees the destruction of the Mandalorian army as a right thing and even justifies the killing of a person by saying that the rakghouls have to eat sometimes . Meanwhile Gryph tells Zayne that Celeste is working for Lucien and the Covenant . Zayne is shocked and angered by that and asks how Celeste could work for them after so many wrongs they have done . This pushes Celeste even further to the Dark Side , so she decides to kill Carrick , but he finally manages to get her to sense by indicating that she is now commanding the Sith army she was devoted to stop . Celeste becomes herself again – she now feels Karness Muur struggling to use rakghouls to do unthinkable damage to the galaxy and , weeping , asks Zayne to kill her and run . Zayne however has a different idea – he decides to put Celeste into Dreypa ' s Oubliette , so the power of the talisman could not penetrate it . Before getting inside Celeste gives Zayne the key of the Sanctum of the Exalted on Odryn and asks him to get her there and to contact Krynda afterward . Zayne closes the Oubliette , promising that he ' ll see her again later . The again mindless rakghouls are chasing Zayne and Gryph , who escape from them to the top of the citadel , where they are picked up by timely arriving " Moomo Williwaw " . Zayne asks Alek to go back for Celeste , but there is no time – the Mandalorians have arrived . It becomes clear that Fett took Carrick ' s warning seriously – the fleet executes nuclear bombardment of Jebble , wiping out all life on its surface . Cassus Fett thanks Zayne and says that he is in his debt , but Zayne is crushed by the repetition of Serroco . While Alek is amazed by what a single talisman could do , Shel asks Zayne what he plans to do next . Zayne decides to honor Celeste by doing exactly what she told him to do – expose the crimes of the Jedi Covenant and clear his name in process . The crew takes " Moomo Williwaw " to Odryn , unknowing that the Oubliette with Celeste Morne and Muur Talisman inside it is perfectly intact .
