Jaylen makes a major power play
While it was initially revealed that the rebel, Asara Dayn, was the true target of the heist, knowing it was Sliro’s databank and believing that the rebellion would gain access first, Jaylen had other ideas, agreeing to make a deal with the Empire to claim Zerk Besh. When Asara speaks, ND-5 stuns him, obeying the programming that dictates he must ensure that everyone carries out Jaylen’s plan.
Rico was also aware of Jaylen’s plan, talking Kay down from a confrontation by telling her they would be free once Jaylen had Zerek Besh. Unfortunately, Kay isn’t willing to play along, and ND-5 stunts her as well after Jaylen sends a command to the BX commando droid, though he apologizes to her as he does it, telling her, “It’s not me” before pulling the trigger.
After a flashback to the moment Rico left Kay, Kay awakens inside a cell aboard Rico’s ship in an Imperial Star Destroyer, as the casino chip Rico left her starts beeping and lighting up, revealing it was a tracker all along. From here, Kai’s demolition expert, Ank, frees her and explains the situation while the Druidmaster, Gedek, drags through an unconscious storm, preparing to hide him in Kai’s cell. Kay, deciding she wants to free ND-5 from Jaylen’s control, dons the storm outfit and gives her blaster to Nix to hide for later before infiltrating the base, pretending Gedeek is her prisoner.
Kay is very quickly able to join Sliro’s storm trooper escort and eavesdrops on his meeting with Darth Vader, Jaylen and ND-5, with Vader accepting Jaylen’s terms, giving him Zerek Besh, and dismissing Sliro by handing him over to Jaylen. It was then revealed that Jaylen and Sliro are brothersAnd their family was supposed to build thousands of Star Destroyers for the Empire before Sliro betrayed them, accused them of plotting against the Emperor, and after he was promoted, he sent ND-5 to kill the entire Barsha family, resenting Jaylen for his The emperor. Heir of the family, and feeling like he only ever got scraps.
