The Star Force resumes its quest for a new home for Earthers. Two months go by. In the Skalageck Star Cluster, the Star Force finds the wreckage of the Arizona. It had been attacked by Bolars. Both the Galmans and the Bolars learn that Mariposa is alive and on the Argo. Both dispatch fleets to retreive her. The Bolars want her dead.
The Galmans want Mariposa so that she might lead them to Guardiana, which they believe posseses massive military might. Desslok orders his fleet, commanded by Admiral Gustav and already close to attacking the Star Force, to instead protect the Argo from the Bolars. After receiving this order, Gustav actually say -- in English -- "Shit! That's unfair! I could have destroyed that lucky ship!" Well, Gustav, if it's any consolation, at least you got to say "Shit!" on T.V.
The Galman fleet is destroyed in the process, but the Argo succeeds in destroying the remaining Bolar fleet with the Wave Motion Gun. But, believing that their mission to find a new home for Earth has essentially failed, Wildstar agrees to take Mariposa home to Guardiana, provided that she lead the way.
The Star Force arrives at Guardiana, a planet which is hidden in a subspace pocket. But, they are followed by Desslok's main fleet and the Bolar armada as well, thus exposing Guardiana's secret location. The Star Force learns that the planet is utterly peaceful, and tells Desslok that it poses no threat to anyone. Desslok agrees to leave the planet alone, but must first fight off the Bolars who have followed him there.
He attempts to "put an end to Bolar incursions once and for all" by using his Hyper Desslok Gun (Excelsior). It wipes out a huge chunk of the Bolar armada. After the battle, Queen Mariposa shows the Star Force executive staff the hidden arsenal of super weapons that Guardianans have put away -- never to be used again. Mariposa undergoes a metamorphosis and melds with the spirit of Queen Guardiana. She gives the Star Force a HydroCosmoGen Cannon which can restore the sun to its normal state.
The Star Force beats a fast path home.
