When the distress call was answered by the legitimate New Republic ship FarStar, Udine believed them to be in league with the Lance. However, knowing that the rest of the Kathol Republic Navy was on the way in response to her distress call, she kept talking to the crew of the FarStar to distract them. Udine also attempted to keep the FarStar in the system by diverting the last of the Bravado III's remaining power into its only functional tractor beam projector.
