Nearing the edge of our solar system, the Star Force completes a space warp from which re-materializes right on top of a Comet Empire recon plane (no apparent damage to the Argo).
The Star Force passes planet Brumas again on its way back to rejoin the Earth fleet. Despite Wildstar's objections, the Argo's return is delayed while Sgt. Knox is allowed to hold services for the friends he lost on Brumas when it fell to the Comet Empire.
While there, he and IQ-9 discover that Brumas has been turned into an enemy ordinance base with lots of missiles. A Comet Empire advance fleet bears down on the Argo. The Star Force destroys the base and the fleet with the Wave Motion Gun.
