The Amazon fleet arrived out of hyperspace and with their homeworld, Amazonia Prime, ahead of them. The Sakurai Warriors went to the Detention Level, where Jay and his comrades were being held and have them brought to the hangar and wait to be unloaded. Once the ship landed in an docking port and ramp lowered, they brought the Rebels out, down the ramp and escorted to an arena where they will be held until their execution.

Along the way down the ramp, Jay looked around for First Sergeant Jackson, fearing they had killed him already, before being shoved off. They were greeted by the angry citizens of Amazonia Prime, lined up on the streets. They screamed as the Rebels and Imperials; calling them "Scum, devils & ignorant, Pitiful Devils" as they went on. Jay saw Martin getting punched in the face by an Amazon Citizen and getting spat on for the murder of Mei. Martin tried to counter but was stopped by James, telling him to save his strength and to get moving. Arriving to the arena, the 1st Rebels were escorted to below to the brig. Jay, along with his wife, Juchi, Kira, Lieutenant Ise, Britt, Deviss, Crusher, Edna & Jesse were taken to a room where we were cuffed to a wall and locked them in.

Jay looked over to Kira, who was worried. He told her to what happened wasn't her fault and it was he and his comrades who are to blame. "If we are going to have a trial, we must fight to prove our innocence and save our friend and comrade, Howard, from death." Jay said. Kira knew he is right. But, she begins to blame herself again, prompting Jay to reiterate that she is not responsible and must come up with a plan of escape if there is no trial. As he began to plan, Jay felt a sharp pain through the Force, as if he was stabbed in the chest. What he felt was his troops of the Lost Regiment in shock over the arrival of a bruised and beaten First Sergeant Gabriel Howard. He was beaten for his actions for the death of Mei during the Battle of Mrykr. One of the guards was stopped by Private Chris Rhoades of the 5th Marines Infantry who berates her following the assault on his comrades. The guard doesn't care, telling him it's a lesson for messing with the Sakurai. James began to berate Martin for causing the mess with the Amazons and both men began to fight in their cell until Colonel Frederick J. Brown and Major General Jethro Collins broke them up. Collins dragged Martin to the gate and pointed to the outside world as he proclaimed "That is where the fight is sir! You see?! It's out there and not in here!" Brown chimed in by saying "We can argue about was Mr. Matthias did later. But, for now, we need to focus on getting out of here." Jay, through the Force, was relieved that Howard is alive; but upset that he is assaulted. He vow to make the Empress and those who assaulted Howard pay. Then, an idea struck Jay. Using the force, he did what his master taught him. He used Shatterpoint to shatter his and others cuffs, freeing them. Sensing someone coming to check on them, Jay told everyone to lean against the wall, hiding behind Jay. When two guards entered the room, Jay and Mollbry snatched the blasters out of their hands and stunned them. After taking the unconscious guards in the cell and locking the door, Jay tells them that they need to find our troops, get our gear and get out of Amazonia Prime.

Carefully making their way to the detention level, Jay led his group until they linked up with Jaden and his group, who escaped from their cell after overpowering the guards. Pleased to see them alright, except the wounded Howard who is being held by Private Joseph Andrews of the 2nd U.S. Sharpshooters. Kioya Asawata said she gave him preliminary treatment to stabilize him. Tech says that they won't get far without their gear. The leader of the Exiled Amazons, named Zata Difla, said there is an armory not far where they stand and said she will lead them there. Once there, they found their gear and began to suit up and prepare to move out. Private Andrews helped Sergeant Howard with his gear and said he will hold his rifle for the journey to their ship. Once they were all set, the 1st Rebel Regiment began to move out, moving quickly and carefully to avoid detection. Nearing the entrance of the arena, Jay tells everyone to move like phantoms, get to the command center, located their ship and get off world to contact the Rebellion. Once leaving the hangar, they reached the city and began to move like phantoms, passing by sentries and patrols before reaching the spaceport. Little did they know, an Imperial Probe Droid was watching them. Sadly, a squad was separate from the group after stopping to rest. Entering the port, Slicer, Tech & Echo began to search for the Patriot until they found it in Docking By forty five. Before they could get to it, they were surrounded by the Sakurai, weapons leveled and ready to fire. Then, Empress Tachi appeared with a squad of commando droids. She said he was impressed by their performance in evading detection. Hunter replied by saying that they aimed to please. Tachi responded by saying that she and her warriors won't be making that mistake again and order her warriors to escort them back to the arena and back to their cells; making sure they stay there. Once back, there were thrown in their cell with a ball and chain shackled around their ankle and electromagnetic restraints around their necks. Any hope of escape was dashed. Hours Later, the commanding officers and generals were questioned by the Amazons, asking them about the Battle of Mrykr and where they were during the fight. They, along with their soldiers, were forced to work as punishment for their crimes and the damaged they caused on Mrykr. After hours of interrogation & manual labor, the 1st Rebel Regiment remained in their cell until their fate was decided. While in the cell, the members of the 1st Rebel Regiment began to confused what they were hiding before they die. Private Dillon Mills was a survivor of the Sinking of the Titanic and the Britannic, Josephine Murphy comes out to everyone, saying she is gay; having feelings towards a friend of hers before the war, the Collins Brothers freed their slaves after hearing the news of Lexington & Concord, Sergeant Major Freeman was by Colonel Robert Gould Shaw went he was killed at Fort Wagner and his death scarred him, Private Frederick Lane of The 7th Virginia Cavalry deserted the Confederate after the Massacre of Fort Pillow & many others began to share what they are hiding for they are executed.
