Cassian Andor Cassian Andor is a minifigure released on 2016 . Background . Cassian Jeron Andor was a human male who was born on the planet Fest in 26 BBY to a human father and unknown mother . During the Clone Wars , Andor joined an insurrectionist cell backed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems that operated in the wilds of the Outer Rim Territories and fought against the Galactic Republic . Andor saw his first combat experience in this cell as a child soldier in 20 BBY by tossing rocks and bottles at Republic walkers and clone trooper s . Sometime during his life Andor ' s father was killed at the Carida Academy during a protest against the expansion of Republic militarism . Prior to 0 BBY , Andor joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic after being recruited by General Davits Draven . Holding the rank of Captain , Andor served as an officer in the Alliance ' s Intelligence branch . A veteran spy of the Rebellion , Andor maintained a network of contacts throughout the galaxy who kept him informed about the activities of the Galactic Empire . Throughout his career as an intelligence agent , Andor worked undercover and used several aliases . While working as a government agent on Ord Mantell , Andor went by the name Willix . As a senatorial contact on Darknell , he was Aach . Andor used the name Joreth Sward when he was an assistant to Admiral Grendreef . Andor also used the code name Fulcrum when he worked as a Rebel recruiter in the Albarrio sector . Andor later traveled to the planet Wecacoe in the Colonies with two other spies named Rismor and Kertas to extract Imperial security protocols . Instead of extracting the protocols , he reprogrammed the Imperial security droid K - 2SO . Following this , Andor and K - 2SO were sent to the F ' tzner system to undertake a raid on a Imperial freighter . Andor used gas to trick the Empire into thinking that smugglers stole the cargo as smugglers were known to use gas to raid transports . When they got to the cargo room , they found three Wookiees named D ' Koetaa , D ' Lylaa , and Wyhyatt , and took them instead of the cargo . Andor then took them to the monastery moon of Charissia in the Bartahn sector . There , he left K - 2SO to look after the three Wookiees while he undertook a raid . Andor was dispatched on a mission to the Ring of Kafrene where he met Tivik , a Rebel informant from Saw Gerrera ' s partisans . Through Tivik , Andor learned that the Empire had built a superweapon which his informant described as a planet killer . During the meeting , Andor killed two stormtroopers who had become suspicious of the exchange . He also unwillingly had to execute Tivik , who was unable to escape the area because of an injured arm , before more stormtrooper s could arrive and capture him . Andor was stationed at the Rebel base on Yavin 4 when Jyn Erso was assigned by Mon Mothma , a leader of the Rebel Alliance , to take part in what became the theft of the Death Star plans . During the mission , Andor was assigned to keep an eye on Erso due to her reckless and potentially volatile nature and was given a secret mission to kill Galen Erso in an attempt to stop the development of the Death Star . Once he , Jyn , and K - 2SO landed on Jedha , he and Jyn left to find Saw Gerrera and his rebels . Going to his various sources , the two got stuck in the middle of a battle between the Imperials and Saw ' s rebels , the Partisans , during which he took out a man from the group in an attempt to save Jyn . As the fight continued , the two escaped and ran into K - 2SO . The two were then mistaken for his prisoners and were detained but were saved by Chirrut Îmwe and Baze Malbus , only to be captured by Saw ' s forces for killing one of their own . While imprisoned , he found the Imperial pilot , Bodhi Rook , and asked him of the location of Jyn ' s father . Shortly afterwards , the destruction of Jedha City caused the Partisans to flee , letting him escape with Chirrut , Baze , Bodhi , and Jyn . The group arrived on Eadu , where they crashed attempting to avoid Imperial detection . Cassian and Bodhi left so that he could get in position to take out Galen and then had Bodhi leave to find a ship to escape with . He then watched a meeting between Galen and Director Orson Krennic . After missing several opportunities to take him out , Cassian realized there was more to the situation than what met the eye . He decided there must be another way . However a strike force from the Rebellion came and attacked the facility , killing Galen in the process . He then went and rescued Jyn and the group leaves on a stolen " Zeta " - class cargo shuttle to Yavin 4 . Jyn tried to convince the Alliance to attack Scarif in order to retrieve the plans to the Death Star , but it failed . Knowing this would happen , however , Cassian assembled a squad of Rebel assassins , mercenaries , and soldiers to fight on Scarif and retrieve the plans . Together , they all took the stolen Imperial shuttle and left for Scarif . At landing , Jyn and Cassian took the uniforms of two Imperial men and snuck into the base . They reached the area where the plans were kept , while a battle occurred outside as a distraction . During the attempt , K - 2SO sacrificed himself by locking them in the facility to avoid their deaths by Stormtroopers . The two of them then broke out and stole the plans , only to be met by Krennic and his death troopers , where they fought and Cassian was knocked unconscious . He later saved Jyn from Krennic by shooting him . He and Jyn beamed the plans to the fleet and went to the beach , where they watched as the Death Star destroyed the base , killing them and the other rebels on the surface of Scarif .
