After the Alliance hijacked an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Harbinger, Luke Skywalker and Sana Starros used the TIE/ln space superiority starfighters for patrol. Within a year, the Alliance had also acquired T-47 airspeeders, which would see action at the Battle of Vrogas Vas with Cyan Squadron. The Alliance was able to provide Saponza's rebel cell on Tatooine with new starship classes including A/SF-01 B-wing starfighters, E-50 Landseers, Fang fighters, HWK-290 light freighters, LAAT/i gunships, RZ-1 A-wing interceptors, and Z-95 Headhunters. Īfter the Battle of Yavin, the Starfighter Corps dramatically increased the size and diversity of its forces. Out of the initial attacking force, only 2 X-wings and a single Y-wing survived the assault. Despite massive casualties and fierce Imperial resistance, a young pilot named Luke Skywalker used the Force to destroy the station with a pair of proton torpedoes. The Rebels deployed a force of 22 X-wing starfighters and 8 Y-wings for a desperate assault on the space station's reactor, which was accessible through a thermal exhaust port located at the end of the meridian trench. Shortly after the theft of the Death Star plans at Scarif, the Empire discovered the location of the Rebels' headquarters on Yavin 4, and deployed the massive battlestation to destroy the moon. The Rebel Alliance Starfighter Corps partook in the mission to Eadu, where they fought the Eadu Deployment and destroyed the Eadu Energy Conversion Laboratory. By this time, the Starfighter Corps had access to BTL-A4 Y-wing assault starfighter/bombers, T-65B X-wing starfighters, T-65C-A2 X-wings, and UT-60D U-wing starfighter/support crafts.

They don’t have much time, and they only have one shot. The team informs Cassian of the plan - to break into an Imperial vault to steal the payroll while a meteor shower of sorts provides them cover - and he’s given everything he needs to memorize by morning. But Luthen seems convinced he’s an asset. This woman desperately needs a spa day.īefore meeting Mon, Luthen dropped Cassian off on a remote planet, introducing him to Vel Sartha, leader of the rebel group he’ll be joining.

Why would he? He only seems to care that she’s brought him a gift. He’s invited some Imperial friends over for dinner later, both of whom Mon hates, but her husband doesn’t seem to care. We follow Mon to her apartment, and this is where we have the ultimate displeasure of meeting Perrin Fertha. Still, she has to be careful with sending money here and there without a good reason. She’s too influential in the senate, however - they can’t do much to stop her. In a back room, the two quietly discuss the state of the rebellion and how the Empire has a hunch about what Mon is up to. Luthen, taking on the persona of an antique collector with plenty of merchandise to sell to Coruscant’s richest, is here t “help” her choose a suitable gift for her husband (who is, unfortunately, not part of any cover story.

This might be a hint that a rebel uprising is forming, she says. This is where we meet Supervisor Dedra Meer, who’s very interested in the failure of corporate security on Ferrix. The ISB are the ones making sure citizens are abiding by all the rules, aka doing whatever it takes to maintain Imperial control over everyone.

He tells Cassian that he’ll pay him to join a group of rebel fighters on an important, dangerous mission - more credits than Cassian could have ever hoped for.
