The skiff has a defense mechanism where launchers will appear on top of it containing spheres similar to those "seen elsewhere on Bion", according to General Alex Miles. To attack the Warship, the soldiers must shoot the spheres off of the spawners and carefully shoot them into catapults at the helm of the skiff, much like in Blast Ball. The catapults will launch at the Warship and damage it. Following the battle, Miles remarks that the Pirates activated the skiff to lure the Force to their presumed deaths, and apologizes to them for failing to notice it was an obvious setup.
