Plot summary[]
Darth Vader discovers that Tyler Lucian, a Rebel deserter, knows the name of the Rebel pilot who destroyed the Death Star. The bounty hunter Beilert Valance is on the trail of the same man but for a different reason, he wants to prevent Vader from learning the information he seeks. The two confront each other near Lucian's hideout at Rubyflame Lake, and a terrific battle occurs between the two cyborgs. Vader is victorious when Valance falls into the fatally corrosive lake waters allowing the dark lord to freely enter Lucian's hideout. But Lucian decides not to wait for Vader but instead jumps into Rubyflame Lake, killing himself and thwarting Vader's plans.
