With her past life lying in shambles at her feet , Asajj Ventress ' s aimless drifting finally comes to a temporary halt in a seedy spaceport tavern on Tatooine , where she begins to drown her sorrows in alcohol . One of the patrons makes a pass at her , and when he does not take kindly to her rebuffs , Ventress is forced to emphasize her point with her lightsaber . Upon this , she is invited by two bounty hunters , Bossk and Latts Razzi , for a drink and a business proposition : The fellow Ventress has just killed , Oked , was their hired partner for an assignment on Quarzite . Now that he is dead , the bounty hunters need a replacement , and so they threaten to deliver Ventress to the authorities unless she takes Oked ' s place in the mission . Needing money to get by anyway , Ventress agrees to participate . The three then meet the rest of their partners : Dengar , C - 21 Highsinger , and the team ' s leader , Boba Fett , with whom Ventress clashes immediately about his youth and the resultant lack of skill she perceives in it . Nevertheless , the six of them proceed to an orbital elevator station above Quarzite to meet their employer , Major Rigosso , and receive the details of their assignment . The six of them were commissioned to protect the contents of a large chest , which is to be delivered to Quarzite ' s despotic ruler , Otua Blank , via the orbital station and a subtram because the planet ' s atmospheric pressure renders a more conventional delivery by spaceship impossible . The chest is sought after by a band of raiders , which is why the bounty hunters were hired as additional protection . With these details and the chest under their supervision , Rigosso and Boba ' s team embark on their journey . Soon after their departure , the raiders board the train in mid - run and attack the escort . In the following struggle , Rigosso and the Quarzite guards are slain , and most of the bounty hunters are thrown off the train one by one , leaving only Boba and Ventress to contend with the raiders and their leader . While struggling with the leader , Boba inadvertently tips the chest over , revealing its contents to be a young woman by the name of Pluma Sodi . As it turns out , she is to be forcibly wed to Otua Blank , and the raiders ' leader is her brother Krismo , who has come to save her from this dire fate . Before the siblings can get away , Ventress arrives on the scene and uses her abilities to subdue Krismo . But as the tram continues its journey , Pluma pleas her plight to Ventress , her entreaty about the unfairness of being ripped from her home seemingly striking a chord with Ventress . She and Boba begin to argue about their part in the mission and their share of the bounty ; tempers quickly flare , and Ventress ends up Force - choking Boba . The tram arrives at its final destination , where Otua Blank is eagerly awaiting his prize . Ventress delivers the chest and collects the bounty before departing , but as Otua Blank opens the chest , his eyes are met with the sight not of his bride - to - be , but a bound , gagged and very angry Boba Fett . While the tram makes its journey back to the elevator station , Ventress releases Pluma into Krismo ' s care - after charging an additional fee for her safe return - before she regroups with the other bounty hunters at their ship . She delivers the bounty in full , after subtraction of her own agreed share , then parts company with the bounty hunters , but with a more mellowed disposition in her life and a stronger confidence in what the future may yet hold for her .
