When Brendol Hux's ship was shot down over the planet by Parnassos' automated defense system, the chrome-plated starship crashed in the dead lands, while Hux and three First Order stormtroopers ejected in a escape pod and landed closer to Claw territory. Hux, two of his remaining troopers, Phasma, and several of her Scyre warriors traveled to the dead lands despite the warnings of a local named Churkk with the hope of reaching the crashed ship, contacting the First Order, and escaping the planet.
