Her planned attack was thrown off, however, when Rocket and Groot arrived, instead seeking Star-Lord who had a high bounty on his head from Yondu Udonta.

Eventually, Gamora pinned Star-Lord, but the Nova Corps quickly intervened and arrested the four for civil disruption and prior criminal actions.
