Rebel Alliance operatives Cassian Andor, Jyn Erso and K-2SO, as well as two Guardians of the Whills: Chirrut Îmwe and Baze Malbus also became involved in the battle against the Empire forces. An AT-ST soon joined the fray along with several more stormtroopers when most of the Empire's main forces in the fight were killed. It sent the Cassian, Jyn and the rest of the Partisnas running away, bringing the fight to an abrupt end. However, in the aftermath of the fight, Andor, Erso, Îmwe and Malbus were taken prisoner by the Partisans and brought to Saw's hideout due to Cassian causing the deaths of several of Saw's men during the battle when he shot a Partisan throwing grenades.
