* The four crash land on Vimaneer and go to search for the treasure on foot. They reach an ancient Sith temple and commune with a powerful and ancient alien called Evos.

* Oblivion tortures and paralyses Saivy Sveldor, proceeding to kidnap his daughter for the Ravenrock Experiments.
* Thalmanton reveals that his true goal is to prevent the Black Nexus, also known as the Anti Force which is the polar opposite to the forces characteristics in every way, from decimating and destroying the entire galaxy. To do this, he says that he must 'feed' the Black Nexus by pleasing it and doing things that the force fundamentally rejects - death and destruction - so that it does not break free from his own body that imprisons it in some way. His end goal is to eradicate every force user in the galaxies existence until the force is reduced to it's primal state so that the anti force is satisfied and will permanently leave the dimension forever. Once that is done, Thalmanton states that the galaxy can regrow and rejuvenate the force so that life can flourish, uninterupted by extra dimensional forces.
* Kylo, Jai'galaar and Myrek hunt down Mago Damask, who is in actual fact the near dead Plagueis, but are all defeated.

* Inanem kills Rafe Wilkes and reduces him to nothing.
* Inanem, being released, teleports to an unknown location.

## Trivia

* All of the individuals revealed to be the Trinity members, Gyle, Zackbern and Growe all displayed traits of ruthlessness and violence, as well as knacks for it before they were revealed as such. Gyle displayed his sadism when he tortured the captured Reaver for no discernable reason except his own pleasure. Zackbern gunned down and killed approximately 10 men during the first Reaver camp raid with relative ease. Growe displayed his violent outbursts when he bashed Myles Reed's face into the edge of a desk as well as having beaten the Rattataki serial killer victim half to death before he was killed by Gyle. Saivy, fittingly, who was revealed to be a mere scapegoat and used man always appeared to miss, or be beaten in his fights ever since he was introduced, foreshadowing that he was not capable of being the serial killer the entire time.
