. The team however was attacked by Separatists and all but Celestra and S3-E3 were killed, with the latter fleeing in to the Avilatan Badlands and the engineer staying at the generator. Attempting to fix the generator she found she could manually keep it steady preventing power loss in Fort Garnik, however to permanently fix it she required tools scattered in the attack and collected by the Separatist saboteurs.
Celestra was then approached by a pair of Republic operatives

to find her by S3-E3. She at first was angry at the pair for arriving too late to save her colleagues but then calmed down and asked for their aid in recollecting her lost tools from the separatists. The pair then cleared out out every Separatist in the area around the generator and recovered from them the tools that Celestra had asked for - a Hydrospanner, a Turbohammer and a multitool, along with five canisters of liquid coolant. Using the equipment she successfully repaired the generator and thanked the operatives for their help.
