The news is broadcast across the galaxy the Boba Fett has been killed by a crack team of soldiers, while on Atzerri, Connor Freeman takes the news hard. Across the galaxy three weeks later, one by one, the team that killed Boba Fett are killed by someone looking for the individual behind the assassination, and on Sathiemon he presents an identi-tab revealing himself as Connor Freeman. Back on Atzerri, Connor is surprised by the news that he has been killing people, since he hasn't left his planet. He is accosted by a Stormtrooper and removed from his bar in time for a ship to descend and destroy the bar. Shortly afterwards, Connor awakens in a bacta tank with a new mechanical arm, being tended by Dr. Evazan. The stormtrooper who rescued him from the explosion takes him to his ship, and reveals himself as Boba Fett. Explaining that he knew the hunters were coming for him, he set up a trap where they would think they killed him, so he could find out who was behind the plot. Dropping Connor off on Concord Dawn to protect Sintas Vel, he leaves for Blackfel to follow the trail, while Connor is captured by Sintas Vel. On Blackfel, Fett infiltrates the barracks of an elite stormtrooper squad, under the nose of Darth Vader himself, and abducts the Stormtrooper Commander who led the assault on him. On Concord Dawn, Connor helps Vel and her daughter fight off a team of bounty hunters, and then they retreat to her safe house. In the meantime, Fett learns that the person who hired the team to kill him was Governor Purton of Concord Dawn, and he has manipulated Sintas Vel into hiding in the one place she can't retreat from. As he and his troops mount an assault on the safe house, Connor, Sintas and Ailyn hide under a false floor. As Purton searches the safe house, Fett arrives and takes out all the backup. He enters the safe house in time to hear Connor kill Purton, who had been dropped into a trap. With the threat eliminated, everyone returns to their normal lives.
