Sabine Wren

"That was some diversion, Sabine. Did the job so well, can see the explosion from here." "Forget the explosion. Look at the color."

- Hera Syndulla and Sabine Wren

Sabine Wren was a Mandalorian human female weapons expert who was active during the reign of Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine around five years before the Battle of Yavin. Born into Clan Wren of House Vizsla, and trained as a Mandalorian warrior from an early age, she briefly attended the Imperial Academy on Mandalore alongside fellow cadet Ketsu Onyo before becoming disillusioned with the Galactic Empire and deserting her post to become a bounty hunter alongside Onyo.

The partnership eventually fell through and she joined a rebel cell operating on Lothal, under the leadership of former Jedi Kanan Jarrus and Captain Hera Syndulla, owner of the Ghost. Wren would come to consider the two, alongside fellow members C1-10P "Chopper", Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios and Ezra Bridger, as her new family. Wren, an explosives specialist, was also a graffiti artist who customized her armor and tagged a new symbol every time the crew of the Ghost struck Imperial targets.

Early life
"What happened to your real family?" "The Empire. What happened to yours?"

- Ezra Bridger and Sabine Wren

A human female, Sabine Wren was born on the planet Mandalore in the waning years of the Galactic Republic, into Clan Wren of House Vizsla. Her mother was a member of Death Watch during a time when Mandalore had fallen into chaos after the collapse of the New Mandalorian government, near the end of the Clone Wars. Trained from an early age in Mandalorian warrior culture, Wren forged her distinctive armor with her family, but also inherited her Nite Owls helmet from someone whose identity she was reluctant to reveal.

After the Clone Wars ended, the Galactic Empire established a presence on Mandalore and opened an Imperial Academy, which Wren attended as a Imperial cadet. As a youth, she believed in the Empire and, even as it put her through some rough stuff, followed its orders blindly. During her time at the Academy, she studied the tactics of Twi'lek Resistance leader Cham Syndulla and Mandalorian Protector leader Fenn Rau during the Clone Wars. This would eventually put her at odds with the Imperial establishment there, and led to a nightmarish experience when the Empire negatively affected Wren's family, causing her and fellow cadet, Ketsu Onyo, to desert the Empire. During her escape from Mandalore, Wren received no small amount of help from Wookiees, for which Wren felt she owed them a debt. Wren and Onyo then became bounty hunting partners; the two were like sisters, though Wren was the softer of the two. Together, they dreamed of joining the criminal organization Black Sun, all the while doing things just for money and caring only about themselves in an attempt to survive. Ultimately, they parted on bad terms, due to Onyo getting "greedy" and leaving Wren for dead.

At some point, while on the run from an Imperial attempt to capture her after she had left the Academy, a man named Janard saved her life by knocking over a stack of freight containers to block the Imperials' path while she escaped. Eventually, the brutal Imperial crackdown on her homeworld and the consequent loss of her family pushed Wren into open rebellion.

The rebellion
"What do you think you're doing?" "What does it look like? Art."

- TK-626 and Sabine Wren

By the age of 16, Wren had joined a rebel cell on the planet Lothal consisting of the Twi'lek captain Hera Syndulla, the former Jedi Padawan Kanan Jarrus, the astromech droid C1-10P "Chopper", and the Lasat warrior Garazeb Orrelios. The Lothal rebels operated from the modified VCX-100 light freighter Ghost. Giving Wren a second chance in life, the Lothal rebels regularly raided the Imperials for supplies which they distributed to the needy and sabotage missions.

On one such mission, Wren (whose codename was "Spectre 5") was tasked with creating a diversion that would allow the Ghost to escape. She infiltrated a TIE/LN starfighter landing platform in Lothal's Capital City and spray-painted graffiti of a violet starbird onto a TIE fighter wing. She was then noticed and hunted down by stormtrooper TK-626, his captain, and four others. Wren eventually detonated a paint bomb, creating a colorful explosion that left the stormtroopers stunned and splattered in blue paint, but alive, and strode off into the city amid grateful locals, an event that earned her the nickname "The Artist" among local stormtroopers. Wren, or an individual closely matching her description, was on Lothal's most-wanted list for wreaking havoc on an Imperial airfield.

Wookiee rescue
"Who are you people? I mean, you're not thieves exactly." "We're not exactly anything. We're a crew. A team. In some ways, a family."

- Ezra Bridger and Sabine Wren

In their next mission to an steal Imperial crates, Wren, Jarrus and Orrelios went to the main square of Capital City where a group of stormtroopers led by Supply Master Cumberlayne Aresko were transferring several crates containing food and blasters to the Imperial Portal. At a hand signal given by Jarrus, Wren threw a hand grenade at one of the Imperials' 614-AvA speeder bikes, throwing them into disarray. Jarrus and Orrelios then took advantage of the chaos to ambush the Imperials, but a local pickpocket Ezra Bridger stole one of the speeders. Wren however stole back one of the crates and returned to the Ghost.

Accompanied by Bridger (who expressed a new-found fondness towards Wren, but she did not return his affection), the Ghost crew fended off a few TIE fighters and went to Tarkintown, where they distributed the stolen food crates; they also sold the stolen blasters to the Cikatro Vizago to obtain information about the location of an Imperial Gozanti-class cruiser ferrying several enslaved Wookiee prisoners. Subsequently, they commenced the mission and infiltrated the Gozanti, unaware that Imperial Security Bureau Agent Kallus had set a trap for them. He and several stormtroopers were hiding in the transport compartment, ready to apprehend the rebel boarders. After learning of this deception, Wren and Chopper disabled the ship's artificial gravity systems for two minutes, which temporarily slowed down Kallus and his stormtroopers and allowed for their escape, except Bridger, who was captured by Kallus and taken aboard his Imperial I-class Star Destroyer, Lawbringer. As the Ghost fled into hyperspace, Sabine detonated the explosives she had left behind, destroying the Gozanti cruiser.

Upon realising that Orrelios had left Bridger behind, the Ghost crew decided to rescue the boy, though by the time they arrived in the Star Destroyer's hangar bay, Bridger had escaped his cell and learnt that the Imperials were transporting the Wookiee slaves to the spice mines of Kessel. Using the information, the Ghost traveled to Spice mine K76 and Wren assisted Jarrus and Orrelios in attacking the Wookiees' stormtrooper guards while Bridger freed the prisoners, a skirmish during which Jarrus revealed himself as a Jedi Purge survivor. Ultimately, they managed to liberate the Wookiees and escape in a shipping container that was ferried by the Ghost; later, they parted when the Wookiees boarded an Auzituck anti-slaver gunship. Yet, the rebels were joined by Bridger, who would train under Jarrus as a Jedi.

Garel theft
"These were banned by the senate. You can short-circuit an entire ship with these." "That's not why they were banned."

- Sabine Wren and Garazeb Orrelios, on the T-7 ion disruptors

Since the crew of the Ghost were running low on fuel and supplies, they decided to steal a weapons shipment from a spaceport on Garel to sell it to Vizago before it fell into the hands of the Empire. For the mission, all but Syndulla boarded star commuter shuttle ST-45 and arranged for Imperial Minister Maketh Tua to rely on Wren's translating skills in her negotiations with Aqualish arms dealer Amda Wabo, by preventing Tua's borrowed droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, from helping her. Wren offered her services as translator and asked Wabo tell her the weapons' location in Bay 7, but deliberately mistranslated this as "Bay 17" in order to mislead Tua. After disembarking, Wren and the crew headed to Bay 7 where they discovered that the shipment were T-7 ion disruptor rifles.

Before the rebels could finish loading the contraband weapons onto the Ghost, piloted by Syndulla, they were confronted by Tua and several stormtroopers. They were accompanied by C-3PO and R2-D2, who during the confrontation stowed away in the Ghost; unbeknownst to the rebels, the two droids were on a secret mission to prevent the Imperials from taking the weapons. Returning to Lothal, the rebels attempted to sell the rifles to Vizago, but before they could complete the transaction, the two parties were interrupted by the arrival of Kallus, two AT-DP walkers and several stormtroopers. While Vizago fled, Jarrus refused to let the weapons fall into Imperial hands and ordered Wren to destroy them; she, at R2-D2's suggestion, overloaded the disruptors and fired them at the stormtroopers instead. Yet, forced to escape, they left on the Ghost, after which they returned the stowaway droids to their owner, Bail Organa. He never identified himself but rewarded the rebels for returning them.

Sometime later, while Bridger was running down Chopper in the halls of the ship, he stopped by Wren's room to offer her some "inspiration" for her artwork although she did not express any interest. Soon afterwards, she was inspired by Chopper's prank to Orrelios and Bridger (who were gone on a mission to the Lothal market) and made a graffiti of it in their quarters, much to their embarrassment.

Stygeon Prime
"Welcome to the Spire on Stygeon Prime, the only Imperial detainment facility in the Stygeon system&mdash;and it's impregnable." "That's never stopped us before." "Trust me, we have never faced anything like this. It's a real work of art."

- Sabine Wren and Kanan Jarrus

Following a HoloNet transmission from Senator-in-exile Gall Trayvis that announced that Jedi Master Luminara Unduli was still alive but imprisoned at the Spire, Jarrus decided to mount a rescue mission for Unduli and told the crew to prepare for the operation. Wren, for her part, studied the schematics of the Spire, and while en route to the Stygeon system, explained that the prison was impregnable, and that they had never faced anything as secure as the Spire's defenses. Despite the odds, the rebels continued on their way to Stygeon Prime and left Chopper to look after the Ghost in orbit, whereas the rest descended on the Phantom. Upon arriving, Wren and her comrades landed on the prison's landing platform and overpowered four stormtroopers who were guarding the facility's entrance, while Syndulla awaited aboard the Phantom.

After entering the prison, Wren accessed a computer and discovered that Unduli was held in an isolation cell in the Spire's lower levels, which contradicted her schematics. Jarrus then devised a back-up plan in which Wren and Orrelios were to guard the turbolift while he and Bridger ventured to Unduli's cell. Meanwhile, Wren discovered that that the Empire was jamming their signal and quickly deduced that they had stumbled into a trap and decided to find another escape route, disabling the lifts along the way to slow down Imperial reinforcements. While fleeing through the complex, Wren and Orrelios encountered Jarrus and Bridger, who were fleeing the Grand Inquisitor.

After dodging several closing blast doors, the four entered an empty hangar bay, where Bridger and Jarrus used the Force to open the hangar's outer doors. However, they encountered numerous stormtroopers and parked TIE fighters waiting for them on the other side. During the ensuing skirmish, Syndulla arrived in the Phantom accompanied by a large swarm of tibidees. With the Inquisitor and his troops preoccupied, Wren and her comrades managed to escape into hyperspace.

Later on, during a mission to destroy a massive kyber crystal, Wren along with Orrelios and Chopper kept a watch over Bridger while he infiltrated Lothal's Academy for Young Imperials to steal a decoder containing the shipment's location. While Chopper infiltrated the Academy disguised as an Imperial astromech droid, Wren and Orrelios waited outside the Academy to evacuate Bridger once he had accomplished his mission. When he managed to secure the decoder with the assistance of fellow cadet Zare Leonis, Bridger passed the device to Chopper who then gave it to Wren; she, in turn, transmitted the crystal's coordinates to Jarrus and Syndulla, who then intercepted and destroyed the Imperial convoy transporting the crystal. Wren then made arrangements to pass it to Leonis' friend Merei Spanjaf, who needed it to hack into the Imperial data network to find Leonis's sister, Dhara. Afterwards, as requested by Bridger, Wren and Orrelios staged a diversionary attack on the Academy the following day so that he could escape with Jai Kell. As planned, Wren and Orrelios attacked the academy, allowing Bridger and Kell to reunite with them and, together, return to the Ghost.

Fort Anaxes
"We are making a difference, Sabine. And I promise: we won't always be fighting this battle alone. Do you think you can trust me?" "I think I can try."

- Hera Syndulla and Sabine Wren

During the course of a mission provided by Syndulla's mysterious contact "Fulcrum", Wren along with Bridger and Syndulla were on the Phantom when in was attacked by several TIE fighters. Distrustful of the reliability of Fulcrum's intel, Wren questioned Syndulla for more information about her source, leading to a rift between the two. Not content with being kept in the dark, Wren interrupted Jarrus and Syndulla's conversation in the Ghost’s cockpit; Jarrus, however, told her that he trusted "Fulcrum" because Syndulla trusted in her contact, prompting Wren to accompany Syndulla on a supply run to Fort Anaxes at the Anaxes asteroid belt, where they were supposed to meet "Fulcrum".

As the two departed on the VCX-series auxiliary starfighter and landed on PM-1203, they found the crates ready for them to transport and no sign of "Fulcrum", and Wren apologized to Syndulla for her attitude, explaining that she simply wanted to be trusted by Syndulla and Jarrus, and that she was not walking into another nightmare as the one she had experienced at the Imperial Academy. Syndulla assured Wren that they did trust her and, following rebel protocol, simply asked her to have faith. Before Wren could answer, the two were attacked by fyrnocks. After deducing the creatures could not tolerate light, they loaded all the supplies onto the Phantom and tried to take off, only to find that Bridger, Orrelios and Chopper had not finished the shuttle's fuel tank repairs, leaving them stranded.

After Syndulla contacted the rest of the crew for help, Wren devised a plan to use rhydonium explosives to keep at bay the creatures should the sunlight disappear. However, they quickly ran out of explosives and, when they were cornered and forced to get atop the Phantom, the Ghost came to their rescue. Once safely aboard the freighter, Syndulla assured Wren that she trusted her and promised she would eventually understand the cause they were fighting for, and Wren to try and trust her.

Further missions
Following a raid on an Imperial supply yard, the crew was in need of parts to repair the Ghost and so, went to Osisis Station in the Regani sector. Hoping to obtain the parts from long-time-"associate" Galus Vez's black market operation, the team met with the Besalisk, but as the Empire had been doubling their inspections since their last visit, he refused to the transaction and challenged Syndulla to a race in Fool's Run. Although she won, Vez tried to retaliate by handing them over to the Empire. However, on Jarrus' orders, Wren and Orrelios took out one of Vez's cargo ships and placed explosives on another two. Threatened into cooperation, Vez gave the parts to the rebels and the Ghost departed after Wren managed to leave a starbird graffiti stencil in the station's outer hull.

While Orrelios and Jarrus were away to destroy on a mission an Imperial transmission centre with the Phantom, Wren, Syndulla, Chopper and Bridger remained on the Ghost. However, an Imperial showed up and attacked them, prompting the rebels to defend themselves and Syndulla to enter an ion storm to lose them. Manning the nose turret, Wren destroyed two TIE fighters before the storm took the Ghost’s systems down. In the ensuing repairs, Wren fixed the targeting systems and when Bridger was done with his part, she was able to destroy a Gozanti cruiser, and the Ghost was able to escape the storm and rendezvous with Orrelios and Jarrus.

During a mission to swipe the Lothal Academy's new recruits, Wren heard about a slave trading operation on Oon and, after leaving a graffiti calling card so that the rest of the crew knew where she was, let herself be captured for a self-imposed mission. Wren put little resistance but her spirit earned her the recommendation of the captor to his employer, MaDall; taking the suggestion, the Zygerrian made of Wren her personal slave and outfitter her with a shock collar. That night, while MaDall was asleep, Wren sneaked away to reconnoiter the location, but a slaver captured and returned her to MaDall. While her master was again asleep, Wren made a painting of the Zygerrian woman, deactivated her collar and saw that her attempts had inspired a rebellion among the slaves. Wren then engaged in a electro-whip duel with MaDall and defeated her, after which she waited for the Ghost to arrive. Agreeing to relocate the freed slaves, Jarrus and Syndulla let MaDall free, and Wren suggested her that she could fight against the Empire.

Kaller
Contacted by "Fulcrum", the Ghost crew was to pick up supplies on Kaller, where crates were ready and waiting for them, for the Tarkintown refugees. Wren and the team arrived at the coordinates where the crates had been waiting for them, but found them empty. Furthermore, the provincial governor, Gamut Key, and his constabularies arrived at the scene, for they had received a tip that smugglers were using the area as a drop point and demanded that they let him search the ship. With nothing to hide, Syndulla allowed them; before long, Key and his men left them to their devices. Instead of leaving empty-handed, the team decided to track the shipment themselves. Once they reached Plateau City, Jarrus decided to split the team up to cover more ground, and Wren went to search with Orrelios.

Eventually, Wren and the others learned from Chopper that Jarrus had been stabbed in the back and had passed out from blood loss, and quickly moved him to a medcenter where he was put into a bacta tank. As they waited for him to regain consciousness, Imperial forces surrounded the medical facility and demanded that the rebels surrendered, and later, irrupted into the building. Protecting Jarrus, they fought the stormtroopers even as they threatened to overwhelm them.

Empire Day
"Happy birthday, Ezra Bridger."

- Sabine Wren

On Empire Day, Wren and her comrades visited Old Jho's Pit Stop, where they learned that the Empire had launched a manhunt for a Rodian, and where Jarrus decided to sabotage the Empire Day celebrations in Capital City. Though Bridger refused, Wren and the rest of the team went to the Imperial parade. During the operation, Wren and Orrelios distracted the crowd and Imperial personnel by throwing fireworks into the sky, while Jarrus planted a detonator on the newly-unveiled TIE Advanced v1 prototype on display. Following the explosion, the rebels escaped, but as Syndulla could not extract them with the Ghost, Wren and Jarrus followed Bridger to his old residence, while Orrelios rendezvoused with Syndulla. At Bridger's family home, however, they found the fugitive Rodian, Tseebo, who had once been a friend of Bridger's missing parents.

Wren then noticed that Tseebo was wearing an AJ^6 cybernetic implant and learnt that it carried invaluable information on Imperial Military secrets. She also took a holodisk that Bridger has left, before Jarrus decided to smuggle the Rodian off Lothal. Together, Wren and Jarrus stole an Imperial Troop Transport that Wren drove the transport through the city's main gate in spite of the Imperial lockdown (and Kallus' intervention) and until they were extracted by Syndulla in the Ghost. However, the freighter was soon attacked by the Grand Inquisitor's TIE squadron, an attack during which Wren and Bridger learned that Tseebo knew the fate of his parents, and that the Inquisitor had placed an XX-23 S-thread tracker on the Phantom. Jarrus then decided to use the Phantom and lure the Inquisitor to Fort Anaxes, in Bridger's company.

Before they left for the asteroid, Wren tried to convince him to talk to Tseebo about his parents, but as he declined out of resentment towards Tseebo, Wren opted to repair the holodisk while he was away. As the waited for their return, Wren and Orrelios stayed aboard the Ghost while Syndulla and Tseebo boarded Fulcrum's corvette that would take him into hiding. After Bridger and Jarrus returned from Anaxes, Wren gave the boy the holodisk (which contained a picture of his parents, Ephraim and Mira, and him) she had salvaged from his home as a birthday present.

Sometime later, Bridger showed Wren the TIE fighter that he and Orrelios had stolen. While she gave it a paint job, their activity delayed Bridger in his Jedi lesson with Jarrus. After their venture to a Jedi Temple, Bridger began to build his own lightsaber; for its construction, Wren supplied him modulation circuits and an energy gate, and was present when he ignited the lightsaber for the first time.

Calrissian's gamble
"I understand this is your work. Reminds me of Janyor's protest paintings on Bith." "Janyor of Bith is a major influence." "Well, your work is even more stunning in its simplicity."

- Lando Calrissian and Sabine Wren

After Orrelios (with Jarrus' permission) bet Chopper and lost him to Lando Calrissian in a game of sabacc, Jarrus brought Calrissian to the Ghost as he had agreed to a deal: in exchange of smuggling some cargo past the Lothal Imperial blockade, Calrissian would pay the team and return the droid. Although Syndulla was furious over the arrangement, she nonetheless agreed to the offer. As they departed Lothal and were in hyperspace, Calrissian spotted some of Wren's art painted inside the ship and mentioned his familiarity with the artist Janyor of Bith, who happened to be one of Wren's favorite artists. Wren, pleased that her art was both appreciated and understood for a change, offered to show him more of her art.

After the Ghost docked with Merchant One and Syndulla traded herself as a slave to crime lord Azmorigan (according to Calrissian's plan, they obtained Calrisian's cargo. The smuggler and Wren welcomed Syndulla when she returned to the Ghost in one of the Merchant’s escape pods, and then went to see what Calrissian's cargo was&mdash;a puffer pig&mdash;, only to find that Orrelios had scared the creature. The pig had inflated to more than three times its normal size, blocking their way to the cockpit, and forced Jarrus to pilot through the blockade and land near Calrissian's estate. However, the Ghost crew and Calrissian were surprised to find a resentful Azmorigan and his men waiting for them. In the ensuing skirmish, the rebels managed to scare Azmorigan off. The rebels, in turn, left Calrissian when it seemed he would not pay them; yet, it was because he knew that Chopper had taken a fuel canister from him.

During a relief mission for Tarkintown, Wren and the rebels delivered several crates of foodstuff to the settlers; unbeknownst to them, the food had been poisoned by Kallus, prompting those who had eaten to become ill, amongst them Mindiz, for whom Orrelios had a soft spot. Although they were planning to obtain the medicine from Capital City, Orrelios left on his own and prompted Wren and the others to go help him at a medical facility. After obtaining a antidote for the Tarkintown settlers, they found Orrelios at Kallus' mercy, they intervened and engaged in a firefight with the Imperials. After retreating aboard the Ghost, they distributed the medicine and saved the settlers, including Mindiz.

Deception
"Is anybody on our side?"

- Sabine Wren

Wren along with Orrelios and Chopper took part in one of Bridger's Jedi training sessions, so that he learned to redirect blaster fire at a specific target; instead, he had a vision of them fighting alongside Senator-in-exile Gall Trayvis. Following the training session, the Ghost crew received a transmission from Trayvis telling them to meet at the Lothal Old Republic Senate Building. After Bridger confirmed an Imperial operation with his friend Zare Leonis, Wren and her comrades decided to sneak into the building through the sewers in order to warn Trayvis. Per Jarrus' orders, Wren and Orrelios went to the rooftop to provide cover fire to Syndulla, Jarrus and Bridger's meeting with Trayvis.

Yet, during the meeting, they were ambushed by Kallus's forces, prompting Wren and Orrelios to activate smoke bombs to cover their escape, with Wren throwing a thermal detonator once they did. To evade their Imperial pursuers and protect Trayvis, they fled down the sewers and split into two groups: Wren traveled with Orrelios and Jarrus to provide a distraction to their pursuers, while Bridger and Syndulla accompanied the fugitive senator, who revealed his loyalty to the Empire and attempted to kill Bridger and Syndulla. Once he was overpowered by her, the rebels met up and managed to exit the sewers after Jarrus used the Force to temporarily stop a large circular fan. After reuniting with Chopper at the manhole, they fled back to the Ghost.

Sometime afterwards, a Clawdite seeking to collect the bounty that the Empire had put on their heads infiltrated the Ghost. After Chopper was attacked, the intruder knocked Wren out and impersonated her, but when the crew discovered the real Wren, the Clawdite started a firefight and changed her appearance to that of Bridger's until Orrelios attacked it. Ultimately, it was Bridger who stunned the impersonator, whom the crew dropped on a moon and left.

Later on, Wren and Chopper intruded into the Lothal Imperial Academy to destroy a weapons cache. Hacking the academy's security system to get the access code, the two got past the main door, but Chopper forgot to zap one of three guards, letting the third to set off the alarm. During the persecution, Wren and Chopper made the "escape through the lift hatch" trick and made their way into the main weapons area. As she proceeded to plant the charges, she was surprised by Dunum, who held her at gunpoint until he was stunned by a probe droid, betrayed by fellow Imperials, Aresko and Myles Grint. Wren then finished with the charges and, after Chopper made a hole in the wall, she sent the pick-up signal to Orrelios, who extracted them on a X-34 landspeeder. She then detonated the charges, damaging the Imperial Complex.

Tarkin arrives
"Maybe this mission doesn't make military sense. But Kanan is family. And we've all lost enough family to the Empire. So rescuing him makes sense to me."

- Hera Syndulla, on their Jarrus' rescue

Not too long after, Wren participated in a raid near Jalath with Bridger and Jarrus. Successful in their endeavor, they returned to the Ghost to find that Senator Trayvis had publicly declared his loyalties to the Empire and had condemned them as terrorists in the HoloNet. To counter his claims, Jarrus decided to transmit their own message to the people of Lothal and tell the truth about the Empire. After Wren, Bridger and Jarrus went to the main communications tower for some reconnaissance, but a Viper probe droid caught glimpse of them and alerted Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin of their presence. Unaware of the trap, the rebels continued with their mission, and Wren prepared a data spike for Chopper to upload it into the tower's computer core. During the operation itself, she distracted the stormtroopers there by ramming her Undicur-class jumpspeeder into a gun turret while Orrelios hijacked the other one to destroy the last remaining turret, enabling Jarrus and Bridger to bring Chopper as Wren eliminated the remaining troopers inside the tower.

Once he installed the spike, Wren worked to have the transmitter operational, just as Imperial reinforcements arrived. Once she got a signal, Jarrus ordered them all to take the tower's lift to meet Syndulla on the Phantom at the top. On Jarrus' orders, they were forced to leave without him and return to the Ghost, from where Bridger was the one to give their message to Lothal and the surrounding systems before the tower was destroyed by Tarkin. Distressed by Jarrus' capture, the next day, they vowed to rescue him and hijacked an AT-DP walker on patrol in an attempt to hack into the Imperial data network to find his location, only to find that the network was down.

Once they retreated to the Ghost, Syndulla received word from "Fulcrum" that they were to stop their search for Jarrus for the greater good of the rebellion, and in turn, forbade her crew from continuing the effort. However, Wren, Chopper and Orrelios Bridger disobeyed her collaborated so that Bridger could make a deal with Cikatro Vizago: the Devaronian told him that the Imperials were using courier droids due to the communication tower's destruction. Though Syndulla discovered their ruse, she was convinced with Bridger's plan to use Chopper to infiltrate an Imperial communications ship and obtain Jarrus' location. For the mission, Wren disguised Chopper as an Imperial courier with a paint job and, along with Orrelios, abducted 264 so that Chopper could take his place. Their mission a success, they learned that Jarrus was to be transported to the Mustafar system aboard the Sovereign.

Subsequently, Wren and her comrades stole Transport Ship 63378 so that they could get close to the Imperial fleet over Mustafar. For the operation, Wren also outfitted Bridger and Orrelios' stolen TIE fighter with EMP grenades to disable the Sovereign with a pulse detonation. Leaving Chopper to guard their stolen cruiser, Wren and the rest boarded the Star Destroyer and made their way to Jarrus' cell, until they were forced to separate with Bridger going alone to free Jarrus from his cell. Meanwhile, Wren had the idea to use their TIE fighter to escape, just as the Sovereign’s destruction started due to its power core being destroyed in the aftermath of Jarrus's duel with the now-dead Grand Inquisitor. Soon joined by Jarrus and Bridger in the Inquisitor's TIE Advanced, the team escaped the derelict vessel, only to be pursued by a swarm of TIE fighters. They were only saved when Chopper arrived with the Phoenix rebel fleet. Docking their TIEs with Chopper's ship, they made the jump into hyperspace and returned to the Ghost, where Wren and her comrades learned from Syndulla that they were part of a larger rebellion and Fulcrum's identity as Ahsoka Tano.

Area Null
Later on, Wren along with Orrelios and Bridger participated in a mission to rescue Zare Leonis. Earlier, the crew of the Ghost had picked up Zare's girlfriend Merei Spanjaf, her parents Gandr and Jessa, Leonis' parents Leo and Tepha, and their nanny droid Auntie Nags at the edge of the Garel system as part of an arrangement with the Ithorian tavern keeper Old Jho to deliver them into hiding. After Merei discovered that Leonis had been exposed as a traitor and was facing trial, she successfully convinced Sabine and her two rebel companions to help rescue Leonis.

Without seeking Syndulla's permission, Wren and her companions traveled with Spanjaf and Jessa to the planet Arkanis. They landed on the roof of Area Null, a secret Imperial facility that was connected to the Arkanis Imperial Academy. Making their way downstairs, Sabine and her companions encountered Zare and another prisoner named Beck Ollet, who had already managed to free themselves and were planning to rescue Zare's sister Dhara, who was also held in Area Null. Wren and Orrelios took Jessa down to the main computer node to lock Imperial reinforcements out of the facility and the elevators. Wren instructed Spanjaf to slice into Area Null's network and find Dhara. Wren and her companions' rescue mission was a success and they managed to escape back to Garel before TIE fighters arrived. There, they reunited both Zare and Dhara with their parents.

Quila
Sometime later, after stealing food from an Imperial vessel and Thrad Senator Nadea Tural's rescue by Syndulla, her presence aboard the Ghost attracted Imperial attention before long. Following an effective attack by TIE fighters that took out the Ghost’s shields and hyperdrive, they were promptly boarded by Commander Earll's forces, who intended to retrieve Senator Tural. During the skirmish, Wren and Orrelios were stunned, leaving Jarrus and Bridger to clear the ship from troopers after Tural's intervention, and Syndulla to make the escape to Camson, where they parted ways with Tural.

When Wren was informed that her old friend Janard, who had given her intel on Imperial activity every now and then, had been captured by the Empire, she set out to rescue him as she felt she owed him and was willing to do anything to save him. Accompanied by Syndulla and Tano, they managed to locate Janard's transport on the aquatic planet of Quila. Hit by an asteroid, the cruiser had crash-landed and sent a distress signal that they followed. While Syndulla remained on the Ghost, Wren and Tano changed into subaquatic gear and dived in to enter the sinking Imperial vessel. Once inside, they tried to reach the detention cells though the wreckage, when eel attacked Wren and disconnected her oxygen tubes. Tano saved her and shared some of hers before going to the empty cells. Refusing to give up, Wren continued their search in the non-inundated areas and eventually found Janard. After their reunion, the three went to the bridge, only to find Imperial opposition. In the skirmish, Janard was shot by a stormtrooper and died in Wren's arms, as he told her to carry on fighting the Empire. As they got out of the sinking vessel, Syndulla picked them up and went to reunite with the fleet.

Siege of Lothal
"We can't just run. The people have to know the truth." "I don't think the Empire is giving us much choice."

- Ezra Bridger and Sabine Wren

Upon joining Commander Jun Sato's Phoenix rebel cell and after a while of not returning to Lothal, Wren and her comrades took part in a mission to steal shield generators from an Imperial convoy, due to Syndulla and the Ghost flying for Phoenix Squadron. During the skirmish, Wren manned the Phantom and used its armament to liberate the supplies from one of the Imperial vessels so that Syndulla could secure them, after which Wren docked the Phantom in the Ghost. Once away from danger, the Ghost crew took on another mission: to extract the defecting Minister Maketh Tua in exchange for Imperial secrets. Wren and her comrades departed for Lothal aboard a Star Commuter 2000 to avoid detection and, leaving Orrelios and Chopper to guard the transport, the rebels went to rendezvous with Tua before she boarded the Sentinel-class landing craft that would take her to Tarkin.

However, Kallus had set up a trap for them, by rigging the Minister's shuttle to explode once she entered, and laid the blame of Tua's death on the rebels. With the failure of their mission (and their shuttle being disabled by an AT-DP walker), the Ghost crew was forced to retreat into hiding in Bridger's former residence. When it, too, was attacked, they deduced the Imperial Complex's forces were stretched thin due to the manhunt and infiltrated its Armory. After Wren noticed unguarded Colicoid 49-v99 Deflectors, they were in the process of loading them to a vacant shuttle when they were accosted by Darth Vader. Through a team effort, they managed to knock down two walkers over him, but as he survived unscathed, Wren tried to earn Jarrus and Bridger time to board their stolen shuttle, and took two shots at the Dark Lord of the Sith with her pistols, but he deflected them back to her.

As her armor shielded her from the blaster bolts, they escaped aboard the shuttle (which unbeknownst to them, had a tracking device implanted) and contacted Calrissian for assistance. He agreed in exchange for half their shield generators and had W1-LE assist in their escape arrangements. At his estate, Wren programmed several masking transponders to replicate their stolen shuttle's signal; with them, they passed through the blockade safely (a journey during which the crew decided to support the wider rebellion) and rendezvoused with the Phoenix fleet. However, Vader alone attacked with his TIE Advanced, causing extensive damage to Phoenix Squadron and the Phoenix Home. With the fleet defeated and Lothal under siege, the Phoenix fleet and the Ghost chose to use Garel temporarily as its new base of operations, using multiple spaceports to hide their ships.

Seelos
"They're just a bunch of old-geezers!" "Well-armed old geezers."

- Garazeb Orrelios and Sabine Wren, upon meeting the clones

Following the incident, Wren dyed her hair once again and gave her armor a new paint job. For its part, the Rebel network faced a shortage of bases and facilities, and so, Ahsoka Tano sent the Ghost crew to meet with an old friend of hers, who might know where to find such bases, on Seelos. Upon arriving in the Seelos system, Syndulla and Chopper stayed behind on the Ghost to repair the ship, while the others approached Tano's friend with the Phantom in the desert below. Using the head of an old tactical droid, they located him in an antiquated AT-TE walker and discovered that Tano's friend, Captain Rex, and his companions Wolffe and Gregor, were veteran clone troopers. Though Rex refused to Bridger's urging to join the fight against the Empire, he agreed to put together a list of coordinates of bases and facilities for the rebellion. Meanwhile, with the Phantom parked on the AT-TE, Gregor convinced them to help them in a joopa hunt, and through a team effort during which Wren kept the regulator's line working, they captured "Big Bongo".

Staying for dinner, Rex left Wren record the list of potential bases and other potentially useful intel in data-tapes from their main computer; instead, she discovered that Wolffe (trying to protect his brothers from the Empire) had secretly alerted the Empire to their presence. An Imperial probe droid also damaged the Phantom before it was destroyed by Rex, but the Empire already knew their location. Wren promptly worked to repair their ship's damaged engines but only had it ready when All Terrain Armored Transports closed in on them, where they could shut the Phantom down, forcing them to stay a bit longer and to enter the oncoming sandstorm inside the AT-TE. Using the Force, Jarrus led them through the storm, while Bridger shot an AT-AT at its weak point; then, they escaped the storm and were to abandon the clones. However, Jarrus gave in and they saved the clones from the two remaining AT-ATs, before Syndulla arrived with the Ghost. Ultimately, Rex decided to join the rebellion and they together went to the Phoenix fleet, where Rex reunited with Tano.

New inquisitors
"Inquisitors?" "Yes. Two. We got lucky. Zeb saved us. Without him, uh, things could've been bad."

- Kanan Jarrus and Sabine Wren

Sometime later, during one of Bridger's lessons, Wren and Chopper connived to play a prank on him by locking Chopper's feet to the Ghost’s metallic floor. The prank, however, sparked another of Jarrus and Rex’s all-too-common-by-then discussions. At the same time, Syndulla assigned Wren, Orrelios and Chopper on a mission to salvage medical supplies from an abandoned Republic medical station. They were joined by Bridger, who was trying to avoid Jarrus and Rex, and together the four traveled to the station in the Phantom. Once inside, they made it to the command center, where Wren ordered to restart a control panel, but the droid instead jumpstarted the whole station&mdash;unwittingly making their presence be detected by the nearby Relentless. Once Chopper corrected his mistake, Wren accessed the station's database, but found it corrupted. Leaving Chopper to repair it, Wren, Orrelios and Bridger searched for the medical supplies.

When Chopper was attacked, Wren and Bridger used the ventilation shafts to help him, yet also leaving Orrelios behind. Instead of the astromech, they lured into a trap by the Seventh Sister and one of her ID9 seeker droids. Though they tried to run away from her, the Fifth Brother intervened, and ultimately, Wren was separated from Bridger when he closed a blast door with his lightsaber and was subsequently captured by the Seventh Sister. Wren then went to meet Orrelios, only for the Fifth Brother to go to their encounter and to turn Wren's explosives against them. In the explosion, the two were separated and the Brother took the unconscious Wren to where the Sister was interrogating Bridger; there, both Wren and Bridger refused to give away the fleet or Jarrus's location.

Pretending to be "Commander Meiloorun", Orrelios then contacted them on the comlink, and Wren refused his help only for the Brother to threaten to behead her with his lightsaber, prompting Bridger to accept his help. Told to meet at Bay 5 by the Lasat, the four made their way to the indicated hangar where Orrelios (who had found the supplies and was in Chopper's company) had secured the Phantom to the roof and detached it to fire upon the inquisitors. With the two distracted, Wren and Orrelios entered the Phantom. They were about to leave but the Inquisitors kept the ship from leaving by use of the Force, and so, Wren began to shoot them forcing the Brother to release the grip to protect himself. Unable to hold them alone, the Sister was forced to let go and the rebels escaped. Once they returned to the Ghost, they informed Jarrus of their encounter, but also delivered their report to Commander Sato.

Later on, while they hid in Garel, Wren and the rest of the crew (with the exception of Bridger and Chopper) participated in a mission to find fuel cells to deliver to the people of ice world of Rinn, who were experiencing an energy crisis.

Shantipole
"Never get between a Mandalorian and a weapons package."

- Sabine Wren, to Quarrie

Upon the first, but failed attempt of Phoenix Squadron and the Ghost to break the blockade of Ibaar and deliver relief supplies to the starving people in the planet below&mdash;plus the loss of Phoenix leader and a transport ship&mdash;, Rex suggested that they made contact with Quarrie. However, the Mon Calamari engineer, rumored to have developed a prototype starfighter, would only discuss the ship in person, on Shantipole. For the mission, Wren and Orrelios accompanied Syndulla on the Phantom, while Jarrus, Bridger and Chopper used the Ghost to pick up the supplies for the second attempt to break the blockade. Upon surviving the Phantom’s crash-landing on Shantipole, the three met Quarrie; he showed them Prototype B6, also called the "Blade Wing". While Wren and Orrelios were initially skeptical of the Blade Wing's effectiveness, they were mollified when Syndulla completed her test flight.

Jarrus then contacted them to inform them that the blockade run had started, and Syndulla resolved to depart for Ibaar immediately. Wren however notified that the Blade Wing's energy drain from the multi-cannon firing system had killed the hyperdrive; however, they found a way around the problem when Quarrie revealed that he had his assistant, BG-81, modify the Phantom to include a hyperdrive system. Using the Phantom to tow the Blade Wing to the blockade run, Wren accompanied Syndulla as her gunner. As they flew ahead of Phoenix Squadron and, once in sight of a target, Wren fired the Prototype B6's multi-cannon, instantly destroying one of the Imperial Arquitens-class light cruisers, and clearing the path for the Ghost to deliver its relief supplies to the Ibaarians. After their rendezvous with the crew, Sato and Quarrie, Wren was present when Syndulla was promoted to Phoenix Leader and saluted her.

Garel reunion
"Still a bounty hunter, I see." "Tell me you don't miss it."

- Sabine Wren and Ketsu Onyo

Syndulla assigned Wren to a mission of her own: to pick up a courier with important information at Garel City's spaceport and transport him to Havoc Outpost. With Bridger and Chopper as backup, they were told that the courier would respond to code phrase "It's a long way to Alderaan." Along the way, Wren noticed a familiar symbol scribbled on a nearby wall, Ketsu Onyo's calling card, and quickly deduced that Onyo was in the area. For the next few hours, Wren and Bridger greeted disembarking passengers with the phrase to no avail, until a GNK power droid called EG-86 responded to it. Before they could proceed, Onyo revealed herself and attempted to collect EG-86 for Black Sun but Wren refused to let Onyo have her way. Interrupted by stormtroopers, the rebels evacuated EG-86 onto a nearby GX1 short hauler while Ketsu was busy attacking the troopers.

During the take-off, after shutting down the hauler's pilot droid, they were separated from Bridger while Onyo pursued them on her ship, the Shadow Caster. Onyo then damaged their hauler's hyperdrive and blasted open their side door and Chopper was sucked into space before Wren sealed the hatch. Wren was then contacted by Onyo, who demanded that Wren surrender the power droid or she would blast the shuttle to pieces. Seeing as Chopper was disabling her ship's weapons array from outside, Wren distracted Onyo by talking; she derided her own desire to join Black Sun, which she now knew were slavers and assassins who only cared about profits and body counts. Nevertheless, Onyo fired to find it disabled, and Wren tried to catch Chopper and fly away, until she realised Onyo had captured Chopper with the Caster’s tractor beam projector.

Unable to leave him behind, Wren offered to make a trade and agreed to dock their ships. However, Wren told EG-86 to remain in the hauler while she spoke to Onyo. Realising that Wren would not give up EG-86, Onyo offered to share her cut for it, but Wren asserted that she no longer did things just for money. In a leap of faith, Wren forgave Onyo for betraying her and claimed she still trusted in her, trying to give her "sister" a second chance in life. Before Onyo could answer, an Imperial vessel announced that they were to board her stolen shuttle; forced to put aside their differences and to work together, they observed that it seemed they were friends once again.

Unable to escape, Wren had Chopper overload the hauler's hyperdrive and then go to the Caster to prepare to disengage the docking tube on her signal. Using Onyo's armory of explosives, Wren rigged the shuttle to explode and told the shuttle's pilot droid to exercise emergency protocol, and powered up the ship's thrusters. However, the Imperial vessel was aware of this and shot at the shuttle, damaging the tube and knocking Wren unconscious. As the pilot droid attempted to leave, Onyo saved Wren and helped her aboard the Caster. Once inside, Chopper disconnected the two ships and were about to leave when the Imperial cruiser used their tractor beams to impede their escape. It also dragged the shuttle and so, its explosion damaged the cruiser and enabled the Shadow Caster to slip away. Together, Wren and Onyo delivered EG-86 to R2-D2 in Havoc Outpost and returned to Garel, where they were greeted by Syndulla and Bridger; before parting ways, Wren thanked Onyo for saving her life and told her that she was welcome to join the Rebellion.

Upon the Liberator’s capture in the Del Zennis system by Brom Titus's Imperial Interdictor, Wren recalled that during her Academy days she had learned that the Empire was developing a new cruiser with gravity well projectors that were capable of pulling ships out of hyperspace. As Jarrus and Rex were to carry out the rescue mission for Sato, Bridger and the rest of the crew, Wren was inspired to paint a new stencil of the two working together in the Sentinel-class shuttle they would use to infiltrate the Interdictor.

Return to Lothal
"Those defenses are formidable. Why? Because the Empire doesn't underestimate you. They know how good you are."

- Leia Organa, to the Lothal rebels

Wren was monitoring Imperial transmissions when she received intelligence that the Imperial fleet blockading Lothal had left its orbit for unknown purposes; Bridger, who had just experienced a vision of his parents, interpreted it as a sign that they had to return to his homeworld immediately. Willing to accompany him, they ordered Orrelios and Chopper to return to the Ghost from their supply run, when Wren realised that the Empire had pulled its patrols back in its preparations for a major strike: a battle against the rebel presence on Garel. Upon Orrelios and Chopper's return, the Ghost took to the skies of Garel, where before they could escape, the Liberator was trapped by the Relentless’s tractor beam. While Jarrus, Bridger and Chopper departed on the Phantom for Lothal, Wren, Syndulla and Orrelios remained to help the fleet's command ship.

On Wren's idea, they tried to use the torpedoes to disable the tractor beam, but the intervention of a TIE fighter damaged the weapons systems. Instead, Syndulla freed the Liberator by ramming the side of the Ghost on the tractor beam to disable it. They stayed with the fleet, until they received word that Senator Organa was sending reinforcements to Lothal with his agent and daughter, Princess Leia Organa. They set out to meet them and rescued her, Jarrus, Bridger, Chopper as well as Lothal ex-governor Ryder Azadi from an Imperial altercation. Once away from the skirmish, Wren and Orrelios were told of the fate of Bridger's parents and gave their condolences to the boy. However, they immediately set out to steal Organa's ships, three Hammerhead corvettes: while Organa, Jarrus and Bridger (the latter disguised as stormtrooper and cadet) distracted Lieutenant Yogar Lyste, Wren, Azadi and Chopper unlocked the gravity locks that kept Organa's ships in Imperial custody.

During the operation, they deactivated the first device and Wren boarded the freed corvette, only to depart to Lothal and reunite with the rest of the fleet. The two other ones, piloted by Jarrus and Azadi, and the Ghost soon arrived with all the rebels but Organa ,who stayed behind to perpetuate the ruse that she was a loyal Imperial citizen.

Concord Dawn
"I invoke the code to seek justice through single combat!"

- Sabine Wren

In a discussion for a new hyperspace route to the Lothal sector with Phoenix command, Wren recommended that they used the Concord Dawn system, a Mandalorian colony not yet under Imperial subjugation. Unaware of their allegiance, they decided to try diplomatic venues and Wren accompanied Syndulla and Phoenix Squadron in a RZ-1 A-wing interceptor. Upon arriving in Concord Dawn space, Syndulla requested safe passage for the rebellion, but the Imperial-aligned leader of the Protectors of Concord Dawn, Fenn Rau, refused. He and his men then attacked the rebel squadron. Forced to retreat, on Syndulla's orders, Wren made the jump back to the fleet, only to be followed by Syndulla, who was gravely injured by the attack. Though Syndulla's vital signs stabilized, Wren promised her that they were going to answer for the attack.

Jarrus, who recognised Rau from the Clone Wars, then took it upon himself to infiltrate the Protectors Camp and negotiate, and allowed only Chopper to accompany him. Wren, however, sneaked in the Phantom and went with him. After a discussion in which he wanted to complete Syndulla's goal to recruit the Protectors, Wren accepted with the condition that she could destroy their Fang fighters if Rau refused. Together, they infiltrated the base, and leaving Jarrus to talk to Rau, Wren planted the explosives. Before long, the Mandalorians were alerted to her presence and surrounded Wren, but she invoked the code and called Rau out for battle. Jarrus implored Wren not to kill Rau; she only told him to trust her, as she and Rau held steady in a standoff. Wren proved to be faster by landing a direct hit to Rau's blaster, and activated the scattered explosives, destroying the starfighters.

As Wren had been unable to destroy Rau's ship and the Protector was headed for the ship with the intent to destroy the rebel fleet, Jarrus went after him; meanwhile, Wren rendezvoused with Chopper and boarded the Phantom to pursue Rau's ship, besieged by Jarrus. The Jedi then brought Rau aboard the Phantom. Now a rebel prisoner, Rau ordered his men to stand down and allow the rebels safe passage through Concord Dawn without any mention of the rebels to the Empire, lest Concord Dawn fell to Imperial servitude―thus forming an uneasy alliance between the Protectors and the rebellion.

Journey to Lira San
Sabine and the other crew of the Ghost accompanied Ezra to Nixus Hub 218. Ezra had received a tip from his one-time "business partner" Hondo Ohnaka about the arrival of two refugees at the spaceport. Upon landing, Sabine asked Ezra where he had gotten his transmitter from but Ezra received no response from Hondo. When they approached the cargo section, they discovered Imperial stormtroopers arresting two Lasat refugees, who had been hiding in a cargo container. Sabine and her rebel companions assaulted the Imperials and freed the Lasat captives. Shortly later, Hondo turned up and revealed that he was Ezra's mysterious source.

The Lasat identified themselves as the former Lasan High Honor Guardsman Gron and the mystic Chava the Wise. From Gron, Sabine and the other rebels learned that Zeb had once been a captain in the Honor Guard. As the rebels made their way back to the Ghost, Chava told them that she and her companion were searching for the legendary Lasat planet of Lira San, which was rumored to be a safe refuge for the Lasat species. The rebels were pursued by more stormtroopers but they managed to escape back to the Ghost with the help of Hondo, who sealed several exits to prevent the Imperials from pursuing them. During the gunfight, Sabine and Hera shot the stormtroopers blocking their path to the Ghost hangar bay.

After boarding the Ghost, Sabine and her companions fled into hyperspace. Sabine helped Hera pilot the Ghost during the ship's journey through hyperspace. Chava and Gron also began a ritual to help them find Lira San, which did not appear on any official star charts. Chava also spoke of a prophecy which stated that Lira San would only be found if the "child" saved both the "warrior" and the "fool". While initially reluctant, Zeb agreed to take part in order to save his people. Sabine and the other rebels were present when Zeb used his bo-rifle to pinpoint Lira San's location on a holographic map generated by Chopper. After determining Lira San's location, the rebels set a course for Wild Space, a region which lay beyond the Outer Rim Territories.

As the Ghost approached Wild Space, they encountered a new obstacle in the form of an imploded star cluster; which blocked their path to Lira San. The rebels' problems were further compounded when an Imperial light cruiser captained by Agent Kallus exited hyperspace behind them. Sabine and Hera manned the Ghost controls as the ship attempted to brave the maelstrom ahead. At that point, Zeb fulfilled the ancient Lasat prophecy by using his bo-rifle to guide the Ghost through the maelstrom ahead. Sabine and Hera were initially taken by surprise but were relieved when their ship entered the gravitational field intact. Meanwhile, the Imperial cruiser was forced to retreat due to damage from the gravitational pull of the star cluster.

Upon entering the imploded star cluster, the Ghost jumped into hyperspace. Sabine and the other rebels were knocked out by a bright blast of light. When they awoke, they found themselves in an unknown region of space. Shortly later, they sighted Lira San in the horizon. Sabine and the other rebels stayed aboard while Zeb along with Gron and Chava traveled down to Lira San in the Phantom. The three Lasat subsequently discovered that Lira San was the original homeworld of the Lasat species and that it was home to millions of Lasat. While Gron and Chava elected to settle on Lira San, Zeb returned to rejoin the crew of the Ghost. Reunited, Sabine and her rebel companions exited the imploded star cluster through a safe route which Zeb had discovered.

Raid on the Asteroid Refinery
Sabine and her fellow rebels later took part in a raid on a Mining Guild asteroid gas refinery to obtain fuel supplies for the Ghost and the Phoenix rebel cell. While traveling to the refinery, Sabine and her captain Hera were at the helm of the Ghost when their ship was surrounded by a herd of purrgils, large space-dwelling creatures that were capable of hyperspace travel. While Hera wanted to open fire on the purrgils, Kanan and Ezra advised caution. Shortly later, the crew of the Ghost fought off two Mining Guild TIE fighters which attempted to drive away the purrgils.

Using the Ghost sensors, Sabine quickly tracked down the TIE fighters to the asteroid gas refinery. They also realized that the purrgils were traveling to the same destination. After they had parked the Ghost on a cliff overlooking the refinery, Sabine used her macrobinoculars to study the facility. While most the facility was defended by Rodian gunners and TIE fighters, she spotted a large platform that was used as a landing zone for shuttles picking up fuel canisters. The platform was undefended but they had to act fast. When the crew was assembled, Sabine and Hera outlined their plans to infiltrate the refinery and steal the canisters. Before leaving, they would ignite the volatile Clouzon-36 in the nearby planetoid to destroy the refinery; effectively denying it to the Empire.

For the mission, Sabine along with Kanan, Chopper, and Ezra would jump from the Ghost and land on the landing platform. Kanan was initially annoyed after learning that Sabine had stylized his stolen stormtrooper helmet. During the jump, Sabine took a ride on Chopper, who used his rear rockets to control his descent. While Sabine, Chopper, and Kanan had no problems landing on a bridge, Ezra miscalculated his jump and almost descended into the planetoid below. After landing, the rebels came under attack from the Mining Guild guards. Sabine attempted to activate the detonators but was stopped by Ezra who convinced her and the other rebels that the purrgils depended on the gas to survive.

After fighting off the Rodian guards, Sabine and her rebel comrades managed to secure the landing zone for the Ghost. After the Ghost landed, Sabine and the other rebels helped Chopper to load the canisters into the ship's cargo hold while Kanan and Ezra held back the refinery's security forces. During the fighter, Ezra was knocked off his gun emplacement while Kanan was cornered by two more TIE fighters. The refinery's boss Yushyn attempted to force the rebels to surrender. However, Ezra resurfaced with the purrgils and attacked the Mining Guild forces. Having finished refueling the Ghost, Sabine and her rebel comrades departed into space but not before destroying the refinery.

In space, Sabine and her rebel comrades were reunited with Ezra, who revealed that he had managed to establish a bond with the Purrgil King. The purrgil were not native to the planetoid but depended on the gas there to survive and to travel into hyperspace. The crew of the Ghost then followed their purrgil allies through hyperspace.

Personality and traits
"You know what I do in hopeless situations?" "Yeah. Blow stuff up."

- Sabine Wren and Garazeb Orrelios

A free-spirited woman with an artistic flair, Sabine Wren was driven by a desire to express herself artistically, and a fundamental distaste for following instructions she disagreed with. Despite her frequent feisty sarcastic quipping, she rarely let personal feelings get in the way of her job and remained focused on the objective at hand, though she still did her job with her unique artistic panache. She often graffitied different rebel insignias with her airbrushes every time they attacked the Imperials.

As an artist, Wren appreciated color and saw artistic license in her explosives, and saw the galaxy as her canvas&mdash;everything from her hair and armor to the walls of the Ghost could be improved with bursts of color and an expressive line, and took particular delight in repainting Imperial gear, armor and vehicles, turning the Empire's drab equipment into expressions of freedom. Wren had a 'practice makes perfect' attitude to her art, and so whenever she was struck by inspiration, she tended to paint on whatever there was at hand, and would work on her art aboard the Ghost during her downtime. A major influence in her works was Janyor of Bith. She also enjoyed compliments and talking about art, though she knew better than to trust Lando Calrissian's silver tongue.

Though her training in the Mandalorian warrior traditions (like armor restrictions) were often at odds with her artistic sensibilities, she was proud of her riotously colored armor, which was like a second skin to her, and sometimes forgot she had it on and fell asleep in it. Her armor's breastplate had a starbird painted on it; the legendary creature, which represented her own free spirit and desire to liberate the galaxy from the Empire, had become her symbol and trademark.

She exuded confidence in her combat skills, often facing off against numerous foes with ease. Despite her bravado, she occasionally doubted the possibility of defeating the Empire based on her past as an Imperial cadet. That past, in which a younger Wren had once trusted the Empire implicitly and followed its orders blindly, was marked a nightmarish experience that opened Wren's eyes to the Empire's true nature, and had caused her to despise the Imperial regime, and to instinctively rebel when asked to follow orders unquestioningly. As she grew to dislike secrecy, Wren sometimes let her more juvenile side cloud her better judgement in these matters. She also developed a somewhat callous streak towards Imperial enemies. During her academy training, Wren also had a few bad experiences with underwater missions that led her to develop a strong dislike for water; it could also wash away art, which she thought should never be allowed to happen.

Because of her resourcefulness and improvisational gifts, Kanan Jarrus and Hera Syndulla deferred to Wren when to improvise a plan or in case they needed to devise an entire operation, trusting her skills and knowledge. As noted by Ezra Bridger, Wren was something of a loner among the crew of the Ghost, spending a lot of time in her room, and showing a tendency to eat and do combat practice on her own.

Skills and abilities
"Hey, I bet you know a thing or two about mechanics?" "Yeah, good bet."

- CT-7567 "Rex" and Sabine Wren

Though she was first and foremost a free-spirited artist, Wren had been trained as a Mandalorian warrior from an early age, and had extensive expertise and knowledge in weaponry, as well as proficiency in numerous combat skills. A prodigy of sorts, accomplished and acrobatic warrior and saboteur, both Hera Syndulla and Kanan Jarrus had the greatest respect for Wren's skills and trusted her expertise on the inner workings of the Imperial military, a remnant of her past as a cadet at the Imperial Academy on Mandalore. As munitions specialist of the Ghost crew, she maintained and tuned all weapons but her crewmates' lightsabers, but also created many of the explosive devices she and the team used.

As a demolitions expert, Wren could rig anything to explode, and in a fashion that was not only effective but also artistic. She had the knowledge to manufacture her own explosives, and had enough knowledge of how the chemical elements of explosives worked in conjunction with fuels and even other munitions to create explosions infused with her unique touch. Also trained as an electronics and munitions engineer, she had used such skills to tinker with her twin WESTAR-35 blasters effectively, allowing her to increase their power efficiency and adding other features. She demonstrated enough piloting skills to man a Gozanti-class cruiser, the auxiliary starfighter Phantom, a Hammerhead corvette, and an Imperial Troop Transport, most of them in non-combat situations. She usually served as a gunner for the Ghost as well.

Calling on her skills as a slicer, Wren used her much-tinkered computer-linked gauntlets to break into the Imperial encryption of Tseebo's implants, and to help Chopper slice into Imperial transmission system by preparing a data spike. Wren also had some skills as a mechanic, repairing the Ghost or the Phantom when the need arose.

Fluent in several languages, Wren had the ability to learn new languages quickly. Before she left the Academy, she was the fastest cadet to complete the language unit during espionage training. She spoke Basic, Mando'a, Huttese, Rodese, Aqualish, Binary, and some Shyriiwook.

Equipment
"Where did you steal that armor from, bounty hunter?" "Bounty hunter? I forged this armor with my family!"

- A guard and Sabine Wren

Wren wore a suit of Mandalorian armor which she heavily customized after leaving Mandalore, no longer being bound by the restrictions placed on armor customization by the Death Watch. She kept the insulating body glove to which the armor bonded, but stripped away much of the rest to give the greatest amount of mobility possible, keeping only the collar armor, ankle plates, breastplate, knee, elbow and shoulder pads. The only part of her armor that Wren did not reduce or personalize was the Nite Owls helmet she wore, as she had inherited it; nevertheless, she did upgrade the comlink-incorporated helmet's interior electronics. The headwear retained its traditional targeting viewfinder and macrobinocular viewplate and, though if featured a variety of control interfaces, Wren rarely used them. She did however make use of the helmet's holo-imager, using its video and image recording features to capture her artistic efforts. She also wore a pair of computer-linked gauntlets, but rarely used their weaponized components or her jetpack and rocket pack, equipment used more commonly by the Death Watch.

Wren applied a personalised paint job to each part of her armor based on the color scheme of her inherited helmet. This consisted of a pink color scheme around the time Bridger joined the crew of the Ghost, but changed to include more orange between the Siege of Lothal and her meeting with the clones on Seelos. Consistent throughout both color schemes were an image of an anooba on the left shoulder pad, a black and white dejarik pattern on the left shoulder pad, and a starbird on her breastplate. On top of the custom paint job, Wren's clothes and armor were often splattered with paint from her most recent project.

In battle, Wren used a pair of WESTAR-35 blaster pistols that were linked to her helmet's targeting systems. During a fight, her helmet would warn her of low ammo to prevent her running out at an inconvenient time, although the handles of the blasters themselves would pulse as warning of low ammo if she was fighting helmetless. When not fighting Wren kept the pistols in a pair of nerf hide holsters around her waist. As with her armor, Wren painted her pistols, although they were both sealed to prevent the paint interfering with the internal systems. Along with the holsters, she a kept a backup comlink on her belt.

To make her art, Wren used airbrushes that released a fine pressurized mist of paint, the width, color and intensity of which she could easily change, and could configured with her favorite stencils, allowing her to tag things quickly during missions. She also possessed a deluxe paint sprayer she had converted from a fire extinguisher, which she only used outside due to its large area cover and sensitive trigger. The artist's favourite tools for art though were her explosives, which she personally constructed to release paint or colored explosions, and almost always had detonators on her belt, in her satchel and, sometimes, her pockets. Wren generally found thermal detonators too overpowered for her tastes, and much preferred detonite tape. Aside from sprayers and explosives, Wren made use of color sticks and stencils when creating art, also wearing a respirator if working with paint fumes. Furthermore, using modified thermal detonators, she created paint bombs that simultaneously destroyed equipment and vehicles but also covered the area with paint.

Behind the scenes
Sabine Wren is a character in the animated television series Star Wars Rebels. Her name was revealed via tie-in material. She is voiced by actress Tiya Sircar. Her surname was first revealed in the 148th issue of the Star Wars Insider magazine. At Celebration Anaheim it was revealed that Wren's appearance will change for Star Wars Rebels Season Two. Changes will included her hair being dyed blue and a new set of armor.

According to the StarWars.com blogger James Burns, Sabine Wren's name was a reference to the Sabine women from Roman history. This legendary episode in Roman history influenced later Western literature and films like Stephen Vincent Benét's short story The Sobbin' Women and the 1950s musical Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Burns also confirmed that the Star Wars Rebels director Dave Filoni and producer Simon Kinberg had named Sabine and the other protagonists after historical and Biblical figures to give them a greater sense of purpose and meaning.

Non-canon history
Sabine Wren appears in Angry Birds Star Wars II. She rescued the orphan Ezra Bridger and used her paint bombs to attack the Imperials. They managed to escape from Agent Kallus and leave Lothal aboard the Ghost with Bridger in tow.
