Beginning: Ratchet leads a small robot fleet to Bogon in a space fighter, entering the galaxy near a thug space relay station.  En route for Snivelak, he cripples the station to prevent his army from being detected.  A skirmish occurs.

Middle: Orbiting the planet, Ratchet charges Infernox to destroy the thug base.  Too late to respond, the thug base falls under a powerful attack.  The Thug Leader responds by activating all of the base’s defenses, shooting them countless enemy aircrafts.  The battle winds down to the Thug Leader fighting hand-to-hand combat with Infernox, the leader of the thug army wins.  

End: Captain Sasha prepares the Q-Force for separate missions across the Solona galaxy.  Pooling in resources from the Galactic Rangers across the galaxy, she informs Clank of Ratchet’s abduction.  The small robot decides that he will find someone who might be able to help get Ratchet back, but it involves going to Bogon.  He volunteers to do so and find the one called “Dark Angel.”
