The Empire arrives and engages the Ghost. They shoot down the bombers, but reinforcements are sure to arrive. Hera takes the ship underground and the rebels climb aboard.

The rebels and Saw reach an agreement: Klik-Klak will come to Chopper Base for questioning, then be returned to his home. But Saw doesn’t want to be soft. He threatens to destroy the egg unless he can take the Geonosian.

There’s no time to debate, however, as the Empire has dispatched rocket troopers. The rebels hold them off, and reach the lower levels of the planet.

Fully underground, the rebels find poison gas canisters -- evidence that the Empire committed atrocities against the Geonosian people. The rebels take them as evidence, and Saw allows Klik-Klak to remain.

The Empire looks to bury the rebels alive. The Ghost screams out of the cave, and blasts the Imperial ship in two. But they lose the canisters in the process.

Still, the mission was a success. Images of the canisters may recruit more systems to the rebel cause, the shield core will help the rebellion, and Saw was rescued. The mystery of what the Empire was building on Geonosis, however, remains.
