==Plot synopsis==
General [[Iri Camas]], [[Galactic Republic|Republic]] [[Director of Special Forces]], assigns [[Hyperion Squad]] as a protection detail to escort Senators [[Silya Shessaun]] of the [[Thesme sector]] and [[Bruenor Kymeri]] of the [[Belsmuth sector]] from [[Coruscant]] back to their homeworlds. Shortly after embarking aboard the ''[[Point of Light]]'', the clones and Senators are ambushed by a band of [[Zygerrian]] slavers accompanied by [[Confederacy of Independent Systems|Separatist]] [[B1 Battle Droid|battle droids]] and [[Droideka|droidekas]]. Hyperion Squad's demolitions expert, [[Destroyer]], separated from the rest of his squad alongside Senator Kymeri's aide, [[Ketya]], is the only member of his company to not be subdued by the slavers. To keep Ketya safe, he leads a one-man assault on the Zygerrian's ship.

Aboard the slaver ship, Destroyer and Ketya encounter and free the [[Devaronian]] [[Vilmarh Grahrk]], whom the Zygerrians have taken prisoner. Together, the three are able to overpower the few Zygerrians and droids still aboard the vessel and take the bridge. With the brunt of the slavers taken care of, Destroyer, Ketya, and Grahrk return to the ''Point of Light'', where they confront the Zygerrian's leaders. Despite the Zygerrians attempting to use the rest of Destroyer's squad as hostages, he is able to subdue them and free the clones, Senators, and [[Coruscant Senate Guard|senate guards]].

Senators Kymeri and Shessaun laud the members of Hyperion Squad with awards and honors. Meanwhile, Grahrk, having been promised the Zygerrian's ship in exchange for his aid, departs with his droid. Destroyer and Ketya meet in his chambers and begin a romantic relationship.<ref name="Protection Detail">''Protection Detail''</ref>
