Jun Sato Jun Sato was a human male who commanded the Phoenix Cell , a resistance group that operated against the Galactic Empire in the years prior to the Battle of Yavin . He and his cell , which included a group of A - wing starfighters known as Phoenix Squadron , were affiliated with the larger rebel movement operated by Senator Bail Organa . At the recommendation of Senator Organa , Sato welcomed the Spectres into his fleet , and the two cells fought side by side in a number of engagements . Sato lost his command ship , " Phoenix Home " , after it was destroyed by the Sith Lord Darth Vader , after which Sato transferred his command to the CR90 corvette " Liberator " and later the Quasar Fire - class cruiser - carrier " Phoenix Nest " . Commander Sato and Captain Hera Syndulla continued leading the Phoenix Squadron in the period between 3 BBY and 2 BBY . During this time , Sato saw action in numerous missions and skirmishes against the Empire . Phoenix Squadron later established a base called Chopper Base on the planet Atollon . He reunited with his nephew Mart Mattin during the skirmish above Mykapo . After Phoenix Squadron joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic , Sato ' s forces joined forces with General Jan Dodonna ' s Massassi Group for a planned assault on Lothal . However , Grand Admiral Thrawn learned of their plans and attacked Atollon . Sato sacrificed his life during the Battle of Atollon in order to allow Ezra Bridger and Chopper to escape and seek help , killing Admiral Kassius Konstantine in the process . Biography . Early life . Jun Sato was a human male from the planet Mykapo . As a young man , he was offered a spot in a crystal smuggling ring , which he took for credit s . As a cover , he got himself accepted into the prestigious crystal processing school of the planet Isobe , in the Thustra system . When most natives were hostile and even violent to him , Sato found comfort and support with Prince ss Althea , daughter of the planetary leader Lord Hallux , who would even tend to his wounds . Eventually , Sato was caught red - handed smuggling stolen crystals . Although he defended himself that night in front of Lord Hallux , his son Thelan and a very dismayed Althea , Sato was found guilty of the charge and banished from Isobe for the rest of his life , on pain of death . Because of his shame and pride , Sato never tried to contact Althea again after his banishment , although there was much he wanted to tell her . Age of the Empire . Commanding the Phoenixes . By 4 BBY , Commander Sato led the Phoenix Cell during the Age of the Empire . He and his forces were part of the larger rebel movement that was loosely organized by Senator Bail Organa of Alderaan , Senator Mon Mothma of Chandrila , and Commander Ahsoka Tano , the latter of whom operated as a rebel informant under the codename " Fulcrum . " He had a brother and a nephew named Mart Mattin who were members of a small Mykapo - based rebel cell called Iron Squadron . At some unknown point , Sato lost contact with them after Imperial forces attacked and killed his brother . However , Mattin survived and took over leadership of the Iron Squadron . The Siege of Lothal . Several years prior to the Battle of Yavin , Commander Tano led forces from the Phoenix cell to the assistance of the Spectres , who mounted a mission to rescue their captive leader , the Jedi Kanan Jarrus , from Imperial custody over the planet Mustafar . After the rescue , Sato welcomed the Spectres into his fleet , after they were highly recommended by Senator Organa and Commander Tano . As part of the rebel fleet , the Spectres , aboard their ship the " Ghost " , carried out a number of attacks against Imperial targets , securing fuel for " Phoenix Home " and the CR90 corvette s that it led . After one such attack , in which the Spectres led the Phoenix cell ' s group of A - wing fighters , known as Phoenix Squadron , in an attempt to steal Imperial shield generators , Sato commended the " Ghost " crew for their work . Captain Hera Syndulla of the " Ghost " regretted being unable to secure the shield generators for the fleet , but they had secured additional fuel to maintain Phoenix operations . It was then that the crew ' s astromech droid C1 - 10P , nicknamed " Chopper , " arrived in the " Phoenix Home " command center carrying a message from Lothal . The transmission was from Maketh Tua , a minister in Lothal ' s Imperial government , who requested that the rebels help her defect from the Empire in exchange for valuable intelligence ; the secrets she was willing to share included the names of rebel sympathizers on Lothal and nearby worlds , as well as the true reason for the Empire ' s presence on Lothal . Commander Sato believed that the mission was worth the risk and allowed the " Ghost " crew to return to Lothal to help Minister Tua . The rebels ' return to their former world led to the Siege of Lothal , as Agent Kallus of the Imperial Security Bureau and Darth Vader , a Dark Lord of the Sith , pursued the rebels on the Outer Rim planet . The rebels escaped Lothal aboard a stolen shuttle after the Empire assassinated Tua , implicating the rebels in the crime , and they returned to " Phoenix Home " . Once there , they realized that the Empire had placed a tracking device on the shuttle . Their warning to Commander Sato came too late , however , as Darth Vader arrived alone in his TIE Advanced x1 starfighter . Sato ordered Phoenix Squadron to engage the Dark Lord , but Vader was the superior pilot and destroyed most of the squadron . Vader ' s attack led to " Phoenix Home " suffering critical damage and , despite the suggestions of Captain Syndulla — who , along with her crew had boarded the " Ghost " to engage Vader — Sato at first refused to abandon the command ship . Once it was apparent that " Phoenix Home " was lost , Commander Sato changed his mind and ordered an evacuation . He and his crew escaped as a fleet of Star Destroyers jumped into the area , and the " Ghost " provided enough of a diversion so the crew could board the rest of the fleet and jump into hyperspace . Regrouping . Though the Phoenix cell suffered a significant defeat at the hands of Darth Vader , Sato and his crew survived , and the fleet rendezvoused at a location they had dubbed as Safe Haven . As a result of the loss of " Phoenix Home " , Sato transferred his command to the CR90 corvette " Liberator " , though he felt that it hampered the fleet ' s ability to fight the Empire . Ezra Bridger then suggested that they find a place to hide . Though Sato agreed with the young Jedi ' s suggestion , everyone argued that they don ' t know of a secure location to put up a base of operations . Tano then spoke up , claiming to know a friend who knew the locations of bases in the Outer Rim that would suit their purpose , and sent the " Ghost " crew to make contact . The crew eventually returned with Tano ' s friend , clone trooper Rex , who agreed to join the rebels . Assisting Rinn . When the planet Rinn faced an energy crisis , Sato ordered the Spectres to see if they could find any fuel cell s on Garel to take to Rinn . Assisting the people of Ibaar . Sometime later , Sato lent Phoenix Squadron and the CR90 corvette Transport One to a mission that involved delivering supplies to the famished people of the planet Ibaar , which had been decimated by an Imperial blockade . The initial attempt to break the blockade failed , as Transport 1 , which was carrying the supplies , was destroyed . In addition , Phoenix Leader of Phoenix Squadron was killed during the combat . The survivors of the mission , including the crew of the " Ghost " , rendezvoused with the rest of the rebel fleet and met with Sato to discuss their options in regards to Ibaar . Rex suggested that they seek out an engineer named Quarrie , who had an experimental starfighter on hand that could change the course of the growing conflict . However , Quarrie happened to be located on the planet Shantipole . Two Phoenix Squadron pilots voiced their concerns for the plan , as Shantipole was known to be a " one way trip " for unskilled pilots . In response , " Ghost " crewmember and ex - Jedi Kanan Jarrus volunteered Captain Syndulla to go on the mission , as she was the rebels ' best pilot . Sato agreed to the plan , and Syndulla , along with two of her other crew members , departed for Shantipole . However , Jarrus and Bridger stayed behind to use the " Ghost " for a second run against the blockade , which would happen if Syndulla was deemed to be taking too long . After waiting for Syndulla ' s return , Sato believed that enough time had passed , and loaded the " Ghost " with Ibaar ' s supplies . Rebel forces clashed again with the blockade . Despite the rebels ' efforts , the Imperial vessels began to pin the rebel ships together . However , Syndulla finally returned behind the controls of Quarrie ' s experimental fighter and led the rebels to victory . After departing Ibaar , Sato was introduced to Quarrie , who had come along to join the rebels . Sato had been informed by Senator Organa that a friendly manufacturer had agreed to build more of Quarrie ' s fighters to support the growing rebellion . Recognizing Syndulla ' s piloting expertise , he promoted her as the next Phoenix Leader . Escaping the Imperial Interdictor . Following the disappearance of a rebel patrol in the Del Zennis system , Jun Sato and the young Jedi rebel Ezra Bridger traveled on his CR90 corvette " Liberator " to investigate . Commander Sato had taken Bridger aboard for the mission at the recommendation of Hera Syndulla . While traveling through hyperspace , Bridger sensed a disturbance in the Force . Immediately , the corvette was pulled out of hyperspace and cornered by an Imperial Interdictor , a new prototype warship equipped with gravity well projector s . Before the ship ' s power systems shut down , Sato managed to send a distress transmission that was picked up by the crew of the " Ghost " . Sato ' s corvette was then pulled into the ventral hangar of the Imperial Interdictor and boarded by Imperial forces . Commander Sato and Bridger were then brought before the ship ' s commanding officer , Admiral Brom Titus . Sato tried to convince Titus that he and his crew were members of the Corporate Alliance . However , this tactic failed since Titus quickly recognized his prisoners as Commander Sato and Ezra Bridger respectively . Knowing that his colleague , the Imperial Security Bureau agent Kallus , was looking for Bridger , he ordered his men to secure the prisoners . Commander Sato and his crew were confined in a detention cell while Bridger was led by three stormtrooper s to a secure cell . However , Bridger managed to escape and link up with a rescue mission sent by Phoenix Leader Hera Syndulla . This rescue mission consisted of the Jedi Kanan Jarrus , the former clone trooper Rex , and the astromech droid Chopper . While Chopper and Bridger went to sabotage the Imperial Interdictor ' s gravity well projectors , Jarrus and Rex managed to rescue Sato and his crew from their detention cell . Together , they made their way back to Sato ' s CR90 corvette but were pursued by stormtroopers . During the fighting , Rex stayed behind to hold off the stormtroopers and was captured . Shortly later , they were rejoined by Bridger and Chopper . The young Jedi soon took the lead as he bravely fought against a squad of stormtroopers , at which Sato urged his crew to follow Bridger ' s lead . Sato and the other rebels then managed to board the CR90 corvette while Jarrus went back to rescue Rex . After Jarrus and Rex escaped the Imperial Interdictor in an escape pod , Commander Sato prepared to make a jump into hyperspace . However , they were pulled out of hyperspace again by the Imperial Interdictor , which had been joined by two " Arquitens " - class light cruisers . Fortunately for Sato and the rebels , Chopper had sabotaged the Interdictor ' s gravity well projectors ; causing the light cruisers to collide with the Interdictor . Commander Sato and his ship then managed to escape into hyperspace . Grateful to his rescuers , Sato thanked Jarrus , Rex , and Bridger for rescuing him and his crew . Escape from Garel . Due to an accidental leak by Ezra Bridger on Takobo , the Seventh Sister and the Fifth Brother learned that the Phoenix rebel cell was hiding on Garel . The two Inquisitors informed their Imperial colleagues Agent Kallus and Admiral Kassius Konstantine , who sent an Imperial fleet from Lothal to attack Garel City . During the escape , Sato was with the former Clone Captain Rex when the " Liberator " was caught in the tractor beam of the Imperial Star Destroyer " Relentless " , Konstantine ' s ship . However , Phoenix Leader Syndulla managed to free Sato and Rex by using the " Ghost " to ram into the Star Destroyer ' s tractor beam projector . This enabled Commander Sato and the remaining ships to escape into hyperspace . Trouble on Concord Dawn . Commander Sato attended a meeting with several other rebels including the former Clone Captain Rex and the crew of the " Ghost " to discuss their options for opening a new hyperspace route to the Lothal sector . The Galactic Empire was hunting down rebel forces throughout the Outer Rim . Wren suggested the Concord Dawn system , which was home to a Mandalorian colony known as the Journeyman Protector s . Due to the warlike and militant nature of the Mandalorians , Commander Sato believed that diplomacy would not work and recommended sending a military force to Concord Dawn . However , Wren and Syndulla managed to convince Commander Sato and the other rebels to send a diplomatic mission to obtain safe passage from the Protectors . Despite his reservations , Sato allowed Syndulla and Wren to proceed with their mission . Sato ' s fears were proven when Syndulla ' s mission was attacked above Concord Dawn by the Protectors ' Fang fighter s . The Protectors ' leader Fenn Rau had allied his people with the Empire and refused to negotiate with the rebels . Several RZ - 1 A - wing interceptor s were destroyed during the dogfight and Syndulla was seriously wounded . Sato was later present during a debriefing with Wren , Jarrus , Rex , and the other crew of the " Ghost " , minus Syndulla . With diplomacy no longer an option , Sato authorized a sabotage mission by Jarrus to destroy the Protectors ' Fang starfighters , which were housed at a base on the third moon of Concord Dawn . This mission was a success and the rebels also succeeded in capturing Fenn Rau , who agreed to allow the rebels safe passage through the Concord Dawn system in return for keeping his capture a secret from the Empire . Mission to Ryloth . Following the loss of one A - wing starfighter during one of Phoenix Squadron ' s missions , the Phoenix rebels needed a place to land and protect their remaining starfighters . In response , Sato suggested that Syndulla and Jarrus steal an Imperial " Quasar Fire " - class cruiser - carrier that had been orbiting Ryloth , the Twi ' lek homeworld . Hera Syndulla and the Spectres made contact with the Twi ' lek Resistance and their leader Cham Syndulla , her father . Together , the two rebel factions hatched a plan to steal the carrier . However , the mission was complicated by Cham ' s own agenda to destroy the carrier . After a struggle with both Cham ' s resistance fighters and Imperial reinforcements , the Spectres managed to capture the fighter carrier for the rebellion . Chopper Base . Commander Sato convened a meeting aboard his new flagship , the former Imperial fighter carrier , to discuss the rebel plans to establish a base in the Yost system . By cross - referencing Republic and Lasat star charts , the friend of Sabine Ketsu Onyo had identified Berzite ' s moon as a prospective location for a rebel base . With the fighter carrier low on fuel , Wren recommended raiding the Imperial fuel depot on Horizon Base . Using this information , Sato sanctioned a mission by the crew of the " Ghost " to steal the fuel . Shorty later , the rebel fleet was attacked by Imperial forces under Admiral Konstantine . After the " Ghost " landed on the fighter - carrier with the fuel supplies , Sato prepared the fleet to depart for the Yost system . However , Syndulla received information from Chopper and the Imperial inventory droid AP - 5 that the Empire had set a trap there . After AP - 5 instead transmitted the coordinates to Atollon , a safe world lacking an Imperial presence , Sato and the rest of the fleet traveled there . Following the discovery of Atollon , the Phoenix rebels established a new base called Chopper Base , in honor of Chopper . Sato remained aboard the rebel fighter carrier while the crew of the " Ghost " traveled to the base to deliver a shipment of power generators . Despite encountering a nest of Krykna , Phoenix Leader Syndulla managed to secure the base by erecting a perimeter fence of sensor beacon s around it which deterred the Krykna . This allowed the rebels to protect their base on Atollon . Malachor . Sato was later present when Kanan Jarrus and Ezra Bridger returned from their mission to Malachor . He , the other Spectres , Rex , and the inventory droid AP - 5 watched as a blinded Jarrus embraced Syndulla . He later watched as a despondent Bridger emerged from the starship without the rebel operative and former Jedi Ahsoka Tano , who had presumably died on Malachor . Reklam Station . Six months later , Sato attended a briefing with the Spectres , Rex , and the rescued pirate Hondo Ohnaka . The Spectres had rescued Hondo from the Imperial prison on the rocky planet of Naraka . As payment for his rescue , Hondo demanded that the rebels supply him with a hyperspace - capable smuggling vessel and a crew . Sato responded that the rebels would only pay him if his information was proven correct . At Sato ' s prompting , Hondo revealed that the Imperials were operating a floating junkyard called Reklam Station in the planet Yarma where Old Republic Y - wing starfighters were being scrapped . Sato agreed to Syndulla ' s request that the rebels undertake a reconnaissance mission of Reklam Station . He also promoted Bridger to Lieutenant Commander due to his actions during Hondo ' s rescue and gave him command of the Reklam heist . After learning that Bridger had disobeyed orders and embarked on a recovery mission , Sato , Syndulla , and Jarrus traveled to Yarma and rescued Bridger ' s team and the stolen Y - wings . Rescuing Defectors . Later , Commander Sato chaired a briefing where he informed the Spectres of the destruction of a rebel convoy to Teralov . When Ezra expressed his despondency about the high casualties , Sato revealed that a rebel agent named " Fulcrum " had information that several cadets from the Imperial Skystrike Academy were planning to defect . Sato was present when Hera assigned Sabine the mission . After Sabine ' s return from the Skystrike Academy , Sato welcomed Wedge Antilles and Hobbes to the rebellion . Trouble on Concord Dawn . After the rebellion lost contact with the Protectors on the third moon of Concord Dawn , Commander Sato and Phoenix Leader Hera Syndulla summoned the Protectors ' leader Fenn Rau for a briefing in the war room aboard a CR90 corvette . While Sato thought that the Protectors were setting a trap , Rau assured him that this was not the case and suspected that something had gone wrong . Rau along with Sabine , Ezra , and Chopper then departed on a recon mission to Concord Dawn to investigate . There , they discovered that the Imperial Viceroy Gar Saxon ' s Imperial Super Commando s had wiped out the Protectors . As a result , Rau decided to join the rebellion . Evacuation of Mykapo . Later , Commander Sato received intelligence that Imperial forces were about to launch a crackdown on rebel sympathizers on Mykapo . Sato dispatched Phoenix Leader Syndulla and elements of Phoenix Squadron to evacuate the civilians . The rebels stumbled upon a skirmish between Mart ' s Iron Squadron and an Imperial advance patrol . After eliminating the Imperial patrol , Phoenix Squadron evacuated the dissidents . Hera also informed Commander Sato about Iron Squadron . Realizing that his nephew had survived , Jun pleaded with Hera and Kanan to bring him back safely . Hera , Ezra and Sabine tried to reason with Mart and his crew but they insisted on staying at Mykapo . Unable to reason with Mart , Hera returned to the rebel fleet . Ezra , Sabine , and Chopper stayed behind and managed to convince Mart ' s crew members Gooti Terez , Jonner Jin , and R3 - A3 to leave with them . However , Mart decided to face Imperial reinforcements led by Admiral Konstantine . When Mart ' s ship " Sato ' s Hammer " , a ship Sato used to own , sustained damage , the Spectres and the other Iron Squadron members were forced to retreat without him . Hera later informed Jun via hologram about Mart ' s predicament and played a distress signal from the youth . Sato offered to travel to Mykapo to save his nephew but Hera convinced him that she and her crew would be able to handle the matter . Hera managed to rescue Mart and his ship . Sato and his forces arrived in time to attack Admiral Konstantine ' s ships . Sato ordered two A - wings to provide covering fire and reassured Mart that he had come to rescue him . After Mart damaged Konstantine ' s " Arquitens " - class command cruiser with a bomb , the rebel ships flew past the derelict warship . Before they could jump into hyperspace , they narrowly collided with an Imperial Star Destroyer commanded by Grand Admiral Thrawn . Thrawn addressed Sato over the com and questioned why he had returned . Sato responded " now you know until we meet again . " Thrawn vowed to meet him again and allowed Sato ' s forces to escape . Back at Chopper Base , Sato embraced Mart and thanked Hera and her crew for saving his nephew . He told Hera that he owed her and her crew a great debt . Mission to Lothal armory factory . Commander Sato stayed back at Chopper Base with Hera , Sabine , and Zeb while Ezra , Kanan , and Chopper undertook a mission to infiltrate the Lothal Imperial Armory Complex with the help of local rebels Ryder Azadi and Morad Sumar . Sato listened while Ryder informed Hera of the new Imperial commander Grand Admiral Thrawn , whom Sato had encountered earlier above Mykapo . Mission to Geonosis . Commander Sato appeared beside Senator Bail Organa , a key ally of the rebellion , during a hologram conversation with the Spectres and Rex . Sato watched as Senator Organa briefed the rebels about Rebel Command losing contact with Saw Gerrera during a mission to investigate the apparent disappearance of the Geonosian species . Organa tasked the Spectres and Rex with rescuing Saw and recovering his data . Hera ' s team succeeded in rescuing Saw , befriending the Geonosian Klik - Klak and discovering irrefutable evidence that the Empire had perpetrated genocide against the Geonosian species . After Hera and her team reported their finding , Commander Sato described their mission as a success because they rescued Saw and obtained a deflector core . Mon Mothma ' s speech . Commander Sato and several other rebels including AP - 5 and Rex were present at Chopper Base ' s command center when the former Imperial Senator Mon Mothma delivered a HoloNet speech condemning the Empire and urging the galaxy to rise up in rebellion . This speech led to the formation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic . Alliance to Restore the Republic . Ezra ' s errant mission . After Ezra heard Kanan Jarrus ' holocron and the Sith holocron from Malachor sending messages that hinted that the Jedi Master Obi - Wan Kenobi was in danger from the former Sith apprentice Maul , Commander Sato , Rex , and the Spectres attended a meeting to discuss Ezra ' s encounter . During the meeting , Hera told Ezra to remain on Atollon because they needed him for the upcoming strike on Lothal . However , Ezra disregarded Hera ' s orders and traveled with Chopper on a mission to find Kenobi on Tatooine . Last Stand at Atollon . Commander Sato was aboard the " Phoenix Nest " when General Jan Dodonna ' s Massassi Group exited hyperspace to join Phoenix Squadron ' s planned assault on the TIE Defender factories on Lothal . After hailing Dodonna ' s warship " Vanguard " , Sato attend a hologram conference with Captain Syndulla , General Dodonna , and Ryder Azadi , their Lothal contact . Sato was present when a transmission was received from " Fulcrum " , informing the rebels that Grand Admiral Thrawn had uncovered the location of their base and was en route . Thrawn ' s fleet arrived moments later . During the Battle of Atollon , " Imperial - class " Star Destroyers easily destroyed many of Phoenix Squadron ' s ships as well as most of General Dodonna ' s fleet . The rebels were unable to escape due to an active Interdictor cruiser , commanded by Admiral Konstantine . In order to disable the ship , Sato ordered the crew of " Phoenix Home " to abandon ship and subsequently drove the craft into Konstantine ' s . Both Sato and Konstantine were killed in the collision but Sato ' s sacrifice enabled Ezra Bridger and Chopper to escape offworld aboard the " Gauntlet " to seek help . Legacy . Commander Sato ' s sacrifice was not in vain as it allowed Ezra and Chopper to seek help from Sabine and Clan Wren on Krownest to take down the second Interdictor cruiser . Because of the reinforcements , the remainders of Phoenix Squadron and the Massassi Group were able to escape Thrawn ' s blockade and head to Yavin 4 . Personality and traits . Jun Sato was a human male with brown - but - greying hair and brown eye s . He was a by - the - books commander , operating his cell using military protocols . He was grateful that the " Ghost " had become part of his fleet and felt that the rebels had proven invaluable to the rebellion ' s cause , though he also believed that the Spectres lacked effective discipline . During Darth Vader ' s assault on the Phoenix fleet , Sato at first refused to allow his crew to abandon " Phoenix Home " , as he was unwilling to lose his own command ship . Once he realized that the ship was lost , however , he regretfully agreed with Captain Syndulla ' s advice to order his crew to evacuate the ship . Sato was a strategist who realized the importance of the rebellion in winning new recruits , new starships , and finding a base . He was a courageous commander even in the face of adversity . When captured by Admiral Brom Titus , Sato was not afraid and tried to intimidate the Admiral by claiming that he and his crew were members of the Corporate Alliance . Sato realized that Ezra Bridger had good leadership potential and promoted the youth to Lieutenant Commander following a successful prison heist on Naraka . However , Sato overlooked Ezra ' s aggressive streak and brush with the dark side of the Force . Sato had a brother and a nephew named Mart Mattin . After losing his brother , Sato thought he had lost his family until Hera encountered Mart during a mission to Mykapo . Sato was determined to do anything to reunite with his nephew . He was grateful to Hera and her crew for risking their lives to save Mart . Sato regarded Mart as stubborn and rebellious but still loved his nephew . The two happily embraced each other during their reunion at Chopper Base . Sato was ready to lay down his life for the rebellion . Sato sacrificed his life by ramming his command ship " Phoenix Home " into an interdictor cruiser . His sacrifice enabled Ezra and Chopper to escape and seek reinforcements offworld .
