Plot
Continuing from A Ronin Called Aidan, Aidan’s journey into the vast jungle planet of Vestar with a trio of Squid archaeologists, Rothchild, Alexander, and McDuffy, to find the Golden Idol of Fertility within the ancient ruins of the Vestaari temple.

After successfully avoiding various traps, spear walls and darts, Aidan used a bag of sand to replace the idol, letting some of the sand run through his fingers as he judged the bag was slightly too heavy. The weight did not suffice, triggering the collapse of the temple. Attempting to escape with the artifact, Aidan just barely kept ahead of a giant rolling boulder that chased him out of the temple. Waiting for him outside is the Squibs' nemesis, a rival archaeologist, René Belloq, and a small army of Vestaari natives. Belloq steals the fake idol from Aidan, who outsmart him by replacing the real one, and barely escapes back to the ship where Rothchild and the others are waiting nearby.

Meanwhile, at the Star Destroyer, the Imperial officer informed the Sith general, Darth Kendrick, that a spy from Coruscant who made contact with the Empire and delivered the information to them that the Jedi ronin is with the Squibs. As soon as he heard this, Kendrick became infuriated and wished to see who would dare to oppose him and saw that it was Aidan. Kendrick knew this day would come and proclaims that the Jedi will now suffer the pain he felt in the past and leads an Imperial army to attack them.

Back at the Squib Colony of Sakara, Titaniate, Aidan and the archaeologists donate the idol to Rothchild's museum, not long before they learn that the Empire has sent an army of stormtroopers to destroy the Colony. Soon, they begin to prepare for their coming arrival. Aidan and the Squib colonists begin to plan for the Imperial invasion coming the next day. Aidan comes up with a plan to put up defenses, harvesting, and training to set up a layer or traps, with transportation equipment, near Titaniate, to thin out the Imperial army. Although Rothchild furthers his doubt by pointing out that the colonists weren't soldiers and lacked the essential weapons for the upcoming conflict, Aidan looks for items that can be used as weapons. He finds out that the very jewels of the Empire have been forcing their slaves to dig and demonstrate that their digging tools can be good used as spears, bows, slingshots, and blasters. With the traps set, the archaeologists create an armory for the well-trained colonists while Aidan tames one of the animals to use as a steed. Soon, everything is set up and Aidan waits for the morning.
