Rescue of Hondo Ohnaka

"I can't believe we have to break this guy out of prison"

- Sabine Wren

In the second year before the Battle of Yavin, Jedi Padawan Ezra Bridger, along with Sabine Wren, Garazeb Orrelios, and the droid C1-10P launched a rescue mission to free the Pirate Hondo Ohnaka and his partner Terba from the Imperial prison on Naraka. Following a skirmish with stormtroopers and an All Terrain Defense Pod, the rebels managed to extract Hondo safely but Terba was killed during the escape attempt.

Prelude
Following the skirmish in Nixus Hub 218 and the rediscover of Lira San, the Weequay pirate Hondo Ohnaka was imprisoned by the Galactic Empire at the Imperial prison on Naraka. Hondo's cellmate was the Ugnaught Terba, who had worked as a laborer at the Imperial junkyard Reklam Station, which lay inside the gas planet of Yarma. Seeking to escape the prison, Terba told Hondo that Old Republic Y-wing starfighters were being dismantled at Reklam Station. Hondo managed to secretly contact his one-time partner Ezra Bridger, who was a member of the Phoenix rebel cell. He offered to give Ezra valuable information in return for his rescue. Ezra considered and accepted his offer since Hondo's information had been useful in the past.

Behind the scenes
The rescue of Hondo Ohnaka first appeared in Star Wars Rebels: Steps Into Shadow, the premiere of the third season of Star Wars Rebels, which premiered on September 24, 2016 on Disney XD.
