The Child

"The commission was quite specific. The asset was to be terminated."

- IG-11

"The Asset" was a Force-sensitive infant that belonged to the same species as Jedi Master Yoda and was 50 years old during the New Republic Era.

Biography
The bounty hunter known as "the Mandalorian" was dispatched by "the Client" and Imperial Dr. Pershing to capture the Asset, preferably alive. The assassin droid IG-11 was dispatched to terminate it. After working together to storm the compound the infant was being held in, The Mandalorian destroyed IG-11 before the droid was able to fulfill its mission.

Shortly after, the Mandalorian took "The asset" back to his ship, only to find it being scavenged by Jawa's. The Mandalorian started attacking their sandcrawler for his scavenged parts only to lose. Eventually, the Mandalorian got the assistance of Kuiil to try to convince the Jawa's to give back the stuff peacefully. The Jawa's wanted a Mudhorn's egg in return for the parts. They watched as the Mandalorian fought the Mudhorn, barely surviving. Then, "The Asset" used The Force to lift the Mudhorn into the air long enough for the Mandalorian to get up and kill it. This action incapacitated them for a while. When they woke back up, the ship was working again and they left the planet.
