(Nope, Iolite is alive and well. She won't be once Sard dies, but eh, that will just add to the story. Anyway, no, Jess will leave the ship before it reaches Sard.)

Sard takes off, awaiting the fleet to arrive. His skills as a pilot will be put to the test, as he will have to delay the charging forces until he gives his last breath. (Gems don't need to breathe, but shhhh.)
