			Following Maj. [[Duke Danton]] and Capt. {{buck}}'s discovery of a large force of [[Scorpion fighter]]s, deployed in the open near Kaleel's mountain fortress in the [[Sea of Stone]], Danton absconds with one of these fighters to warn [[Earth]] and mount an offense. Danton hopes that by returning quickly, the [[Defense Directorate]]'s offensive can wipe out Kaleel's starfighters before they're deployed.

			[[Stella Warden]], familiar with Terran thinking, surmises that a person stayed behind as only one of the Scorpion fighters (a one-man craft) had launched, and [[Julio]] notes that two pilots survived the crash caused by the [[power leech]]. Warden discovers Col. [[Wilma Deering]]'s [[contamination detector]] bracelet, surmises that it is a homing device, and sets a trap that ensnares Rogers.

			Rogers is brought before Kaleel, and due to this Kaleel flaunts Earth's greatest military mind, who Kaleel has paid for handsomely: [[Galen]]. After divulging his plan to Deering and Rogers, he has them put to death along with [[Ryma]]. Using ingenuity, Rogers orchestrates their escape...

			Meanwhile, Danton cajoles Huer into mustering up all available pilots: there are only six, including Maj. [[Fields]] and his old instructor Brigadier [[Gordon]], who comes out of retirement for the mission. A seventh pilot, in the form of the [[ambuquad]] duo of [[Twiki]] and Dr. [[Theopolis]], rounds out the offensive squadron {{BR25\|Planet of the Slave Girls}}.

			Maj. [[Duke Danton]]'s force launches towards the [[stargate]], with the intent on going communications silent after transiting the [[stargate]] to [[Vistula]]. After transiting through [[Stargate 4]], they discover on their scanners that the force of [[Scorpion fighter]]s have already begun deployment, and thus they are too late to catch them unawares.

			Danton breaks radio silence, informs his squadron that they can either fight Kaleel's force at Vistula, or at Earth, and they engage the fighters at Vistula.

Following [[Galen]]'s death at {{buck}}'s hand, the remaining force of Kaleel's followers is torn asunder, providing a clear path for the force to land on Vistula.

			With [[Ryma]] and a small handful of anti-Kaleel resistance fighters (armed with stolen weapons and explosives) having rendered the fortress into a state of disarray, Rogers and Deering are able to re-penetrate the fortress. After a terse standoff with Kaleel, who is about to flee Vistula on his star cruiser with [[Stella Warden]], the agitator is rendered powerless and dragged away by those who wronged him.

			With Kaleel's manipulations now revealed, [[Tabor Saroyan]] offers to resign, but is talked out of it by both his son, [[Regis Saroyan]], and his future daughter-in-law, Ryma. Confident in the belief that Vistula is in good hands, Dr. [[Elias Huer]] remains of the belief that Vistula will continue as a food source for the [[Earth]] under the auspices of a wisened [[Food Directorate]] {{BR25\|Planet of the Slave Girls}}.

	Following deployment, the [[Thunderfighter]]s from the Third Force engage against the Hatchet fighters, resulting in the decimation of the squadron due to the pilot's over-reliance on their [[combat computer]]s to properly handle the situation. Despite Deering's protestations, Rogers attempts to help his fellow pilots to no avail. Fed up, Rogers ignores Deering's order to return to base, taking manual control of his Thunderfighter and goes on the offensive, destroying the Hatchet fighters with great aplomb much to Deering's befuddlement and displeasure — and Ardala's pleasure.
