Heist in Capital City

Five years before the, a group of rebels operated on the   of Lothal, where they carried out a number of attacks against the. One such mission was contracted by Lothal crime lord Cikatro Vizago, who commissioned the rebels to mount a heist to steal s from the Empire. Once they had decided to take the mission, the rebels assembled in Capital City, where they put their plan in motion. Sabine Wren set off an explosive in the main square of the city, causing the Imperials to flee from the area with crates full of supplies, including the blasters.

With the Imperials on the move, rebel leader and former Kanan Jarrus intercepted the speeder convoy, giving him and Garazeb Orrelios a chance to steal the crates. One of the speeders was stolen by a fourteen year old orphan named Ezra Bridger, who had been watching the rebels assemble and knew that the crates were valuable. This led to a chase throughout the city, with Bridger attempting to outrun the rebels. Their chase made its way out of the city, where they fought off s and TIE fighters. Bridger eventually got away from the rebels, but was saved by their ship, the Ghost, which shot down an approaching TIE fighter. Jarrus offered Bridger a chance to escape as more fighters approached, and Bridger leapt onto the ship with his crate.

The Ghost was pursued by several TIE fighters, leading to a battle throughout the atmosphere and into space. The ship was able to escape into before returning to Lothal, where it scrambled its signal so it could not be recognized. The rebels brought many of the supplies to a refugee settlement called Tarkintown, where the rebels provided free food for the refugees. Jarrus and Hera Syndulla brought the blasters to Vizago, who paid them both in money and in information&mdash;specifically, the potential whereabouts of, leading the rebels to undertake a mission to rescue them. Later, Bridger later joined the crew, having found an adopted family in them as a result of the heist.
