Despite being outnumbered , Zahra regulate theTarkin ’s Willto dive down to the satellite ’s surface where the Tenth is camped . Relying on unorthodox and unrelenting methods tomaintain an vantage over the Rebellion , Zahra positions her Star Destroyer so that its locomotive are charge forthwith at the Rebel bivouac before ordering full thrusters back to orbit , effectively turn the ship into a massive flamethrower that completely wipes out this last Rebel mobile phone .
