Mission to steal Imperial shield generators

"You and your crew have proven invaluable to our fleet, Captain Syndulla. The fuel acquired in your convoy attacks has helped keep us one step ahead of Imperial patrols.''" "''Thank you, Commander Sato. I'm just sorry our intel about shield generators being on that shipment was wrong."

- Commander Jun Sato and Hera Syndulla

Commander Jun Sato led a rebel mission to steal shield generators from an Imperial convoy. One of his blockade runners and two pilots from Phoenix Squadron distracted the convoy's TIE escorts and the three freighters while the Lothal rebels attacked the main ship to knock the cargo into space. Hera Syndulla then piloted the Ghost to capture the cargo. Two Arquitens-class light cruisers then arrived to fire on the rebels. Commander Sato ordered a retreat after the blockade runner's shields were disabled. Syndulla captured the cargo and the rebels fled into hyperspace. When they rendezvoused later, they discovered that although the cargo held vital supplies, it did not have shield generators as their intelligence suggested.

Behind the scenes
The mission appears in the 2015 television film Star Wars Rebels: The Siege of Lothal.
