Theft of the TIE Defender Elite

"Lothal looks like it's dying.''" "''Your home isn't exactly the place you remember, kid. Better prepare yourself."

- Ezra Bridger and Cikatro Vizago

The Spectres of the Alliance to Restore the Republic undertook a mission to Lothal in 1 BBY. Their goal was to aid Ryder Azadi and the Lothal resistance in liberating the Outer Rim planet from the Galactic Empire. The Alliance had previously planned an attack on Lothal, but they were forced to call it off when their forces were decimated by Grand Admiral Thrawn during the battle of Atollon.
