Mission 2 and 3 – The Dauntless and The Observatory
Star Wars Battlefront 2 Story and Ending Summary
Aboard the Eviscerator, Iden meets with her father and a messenger of The Emperor himself. The messenger displays a hologram of The Emperor that tells Admiral Versio to begin Operation Cinder, his last command. Iden is sent to retrieve a target, and as she tries to ask what it is the messenger violently cuts in that she’s not verified. Iden is then sent to the planet Fondor, which appears in Star Wars lore as a research center. Inferno Squad’s task is to protect Moff Raythe and the Destroyer Dauntless, which houses experimental satellites crucial to Operation Cinder. They do battle with a Rebel Cruiser, but ultimately Iden is able to free the Dauntless and destroy the attacking rebels.
After Fondor we see agent Del Meeko sent to the planet Pillio, with orders to destroy one of Palpatine’s secret bases. However, we actually play as Luke Skywalker in this level, who is inexplicably drawn to the planet by the Force. Luke battles through Imperial forces and ends up saving Del. The pair agree to work together to survive and turn off the Imperial base’s defense system. They eventually find Palpatine’s stash of war spoils, where Luke finds a mysterious device that he keeps. Del and Luke part ways amicably, and the event is what first causes Del to question his allegiance to the Empire.Â
