Ikta suffers a serious setback at the hands of the unsleeping, shining officer from the Kioka republic.  His lines have been broken and the retreat is in disarray.  To salvage an increasingly desperate situation, he leads a small, handpicked force to lure Jean into a trap.  But Jean's proven himself for than a match for Ikta already, and the Alderan military outnumbers his own forces by over a dozen times.  How can he handle such overwhelming numbers when his opponent has shown to be his equal?
A war of attrition is
the worst outcome for me as well,
،حرب الاستنزاف هي النّتيجة الأسوأ بالنسبة لي كذلك
Eine Materialschlacht wäre
für uns das schlechteste Ergebnis,
Una guerra de desgaste
es lo peor que podría conseguir,
Una guerra de desgaste
es lo peor que podría conseguir,
Une guerre d’attrition
serait le pire des scénarios,
Iniziare una guerra di logoramento 
sarebbe deleterio anche per me,
Uma guerra desgastante é 
o pior resultado para mim,
Не хотел бы я начинать войну на истощение,
