After all his men were killed, Thorn yelled out a Republic war cry and kept fighting, using his 'Hammer' as a melee and ranged weapon. Surrounded, but not defeated, the Guard held their ground against the droids in a last effort. Another gunship released droids behind them, catching Thorn's squad in a crossfire. As Thorn and his men rushed toward the entrance of the neutral zone, droid gunships then entered the firefight and blocked Thorn's path in the front and the landing pad behind him, cutting down his troopers and deploying commando and super battle droids. With deadly speed and accuracy, droid bombers shot down the gunships and the Consular-class cruiser, leaving Thorn and his team with no reinforcements. Thorn alerted Senator Amidala of the attack and readied his men for the fight ahead. However, soon after, Thorn and his men saw a Separatist invasion force heading straight toward them. In 20 BBY, Thorn and a group of his Shock Troopers escorted Senator Padmé Amidala to the planet Scipio to negotiate in bringing the Banking Clans to the Republic from the Separatists.
