Plot summary
As Aurra Sing dispatches a Tusken scout party, Jabba the Hutt's plot to incite war comes to light. Just as he had hoped, the Tusken warriors begin their clash with Gardulla's mercenaries. Sharad Hett begins strategically deploying his Tusken warriors, just as Sing attacks Ki-Adi-Mundi and the younger Hett, sending them scattered onto the battlefield. Overwhelmed, Gardulla sounds a retreat. Unbeknownst to her, Sing has been working as a double agent for Jabba, who arrives just in time to reinforce her troops. Finally, Sing finds her target, and a lightsaber duel ensues, leaving Sharad Hett near death. Ki-Adi-Mundi arrives in time to chase off the assassin, and to hear Hett's last request, that he complete his son's training on Coruscant.
