Fett’s remembrance of his time among the Tuskens closes on a tragic note; having returned from trying to establish a business relationship with the Pykes on behalf of the Tusken tribe, Fett discovers that his tribe has been completely wiped out.
After hearing complaints of a gang of young speeder bike riders who have added droid parts to their bodies, Fett ventures into Mos Espa, but instead of taking on the gang, he recruits them as his personal guards. Back at his palace (formerly Jabba’s palace), Fett’s latest visit to the bacta tank is interrupted by an unannounced – and nearly fatal – visit from Krrsantan, sent by the Hutt twins to kill their rival. Fett’s new recruits prove instrumental in saving his life, and the Wookiee assassin is trapped in the pit formerly used to house Jabba’s Rancor. The Hutts arrive to declare an awkward truce with Fett before retreating to Nal Hutta because another crime syndicate has laid claim to Mos Espa: the Pykes.
