==Publisher's summary==
HUNTING THE HUNTERS! DARTH VADER is trapped, alone, and surrounded by deadly bounty hunters…but the SITH LORD is never truly alone as long as he wields the Dark Side of The Force! VALANCE and his gang of bounty hunters soon find that the hunters have become the hunted, as Vader picks them off one-by-one -- and he's helped by one of Valance's own!
==Plot summary==
An Imperial II-class Star Destroyer arrives above Heva, and its captain reports to General Gollin that the Formidable and its contingent of TIE fighters were destroyed by bot-drones, leaving Darth Vader alone on the surface. The captain suggests that their own fighters be scrambled to rescue Vader from the bounty hunters pursuing him, but Gollin believes that Vader will have killed the bounty hunters before the pilots can even take off.
Down on Heva's surface, Dengar urges Beilert Valance and the rest of their team to move in on Vader, but Valance and Chio Fain remind him not to reveal their positions. Vader attempts to conceal himself as well, using the Force to raise clouds of dust from the ground. Fain attacks him first with blasters, but Vader deflects the bolts with his lightsaber, striking Valance with a ricochet. Urrr'k rushes to help Valance, removing her Tusken Raider mask and revealing herself as a Human named Gita to him. Valance responds and says that the blast didn't kill him, but that Vader would quickly kill Fain.
Fain continued to attack Vader, but the Sith Lord cuts off three of the Ardennian's arms and throws him in the path of Honnah's Gamorrean battle-ax. As Fain dies, he remembers his partner Rone, whom Vader killed. Valance tells Gita to take her shot at Vader to distract him. As Vader uses the Force against Gita and kills Honnah, Valance rushes at him with an electro-pulse. However, he fails to activate the device in time, and Vader turns to face him. Valance is then electrocuted by Dengar, who reveals himself as Vader's informant.
