Plot summary
Sabine Wren learns that Hera Syndulla and Kanan Jarrus have been in frequent contact with an individual known as "Fulcrum," an informant who has been feeding the rebels information about Imperial targets. Feeling like she is not trusted, Wren demands to join a mission where Syndulla will meet with "Fulcrum" and pick up a crate of supplies. The two fly the Phantom to Fort Anaxes, an asteroid base once used by the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Although "Fulcrum" is not there, the two rebels are able to pick up the crates.

Upon trying to leave the base, Syndulla and Wren realize that there is fuel leak, stemming from unrepaired damage that the Phantom suffered during a skirmish on Lothal. To make matters worse, the darkening skies of the base&mdash;with the sun being blocked by a massive asteroid flying overhead&mdash;lead a group of deadly creatures known as fyrnocks outside of the military base itself and towards the two rebels. Using rhydonium as an explosive to kill the creatures, Wren and Syndulla hold them off before the Ghost is able to rescue them and escape the base. Once back on board, Syndulla asks Wren to have faith in their rebellion and that Syndulla trusts her, which Wren knows that she does.
