His aerospace fighter suffered heavy damage when it engaged the DropShip's fighter escorts near Verthandi. Left adrift, unable to maneuver and with failing life support, it still retained power to its weapons.[2]

As Gray Death pilot Jeffric Sherman's Chippewa passed in front of da Silva's fighter, the Kuritan opened fire at point-blank range, inflicting severe damage with repeated hits, though he did not live long enough to celebrate his sneak attack. Jeffric Sherman's fellow pilot, Sue Ellen Klein, targeted his Slayer and destroyed its cockpit with her missiles.[1]
