Story Notes

Ultra Boy, Shrinking Violet, and Chameleon Boy are killed. Triplicate Girl, Element Lad, Phantom Girl, and unnamed others die off-panel. When one of the two Legion spaceships crashes into an asteroid, one of the surviving Legionnaires says "Triplicate Girl, Element Lad, Phantom Girl... they and the others in it are dead!". This indicates that there was more than one unnamed member who was killed. The only members not accounted for in Part 2 are Matter-Eater Lad and Star Boy, therefore the unnamed others who died must be these two.
