Synopsis:
The Legion disperses teams across the galaxy looking for Starfinger. Eventually the team is able to follow clues which lead them to a satellite orbiting a star upon which Starfinger maintains his base of operations. The Legionnaires converge on the satellite and begin an attack. They are fought by Starfinger's bodyguards Starlight and Starbright as well as henchmen. Colossal Boy is seriously wounded by Starfinger himself. As the rest of the team closes in, Starfinger destroys the satellite. Aided by a warning from Sensor Girl, the heroes make it to safety. After the explosion neither Dawnstar or Sensor Girl can detect any trace of Starfinger, and he is assumed dead.
