She was present at the Battle of Endor and made the decision there to switch sides on the conflict and no longer work with the Galactic Empire . She was the niece of bounty hunter Sugi who was active during the Clone Wars . Jas was present on Akiva when the Imperial Future Council met on the planet . She then worked with others to take down multiple Imperial targets to collect a large bounty . During the Rebellion on Akiva , Jas joined a misfit rebel cell consisting of Norra Wexley , her son Temmin Wexley , his B1 battle droid Mister Bones , and the former Imperial loyalty officer Sinjir Rath Velus . After the events on Akiva , she joined forces with Norra ' s team to hunt down Imperial fugitives on behalf of the New Republic . Struggling to pay her aunt ' s debts , Jas pretended to betray her companions during a mission to capture Vice Admiral Perwin Gedde on Vorlag . Following a heated argument with her teammates , Jas fell in love with the New Republic Special Forces soldier Jom Barell , who was part of Norra ' s team . Later , Emari accompanied Norra ' s team on a mission to find the rebel Han Solo and to rescue the Wookiee Chewbacca . Jas and her companions took part in the liberation of the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk . Jas later joined Norra ' s team in hunting down Grand Admiral Rae Sloane , the alleged mastermind behind the attack on Chandrila . Jas and Norra ' s trail led them to the Inner Rim desert world of Jakku . There , Jas found herself pursued by the bounty hunter Mercurial Swift , who was seeking to collect a bounty on her head for vindictive reasons . While evading Swift , Jas helped Norra and Mister Bones during their search . Despite being captured by Swift , Jas managed to turn the tables on the bounty hunter by recruiting his crew Dengar , Embo , and Jeeta to her side . Jas and the bounty hunters won recognition from the New Republic for their contributions to the Battle of Jakku . Biography . Early life . Jas grew up on Iridonia and had a very difficult childhood . When her aunt Sugi gave her advice about running away , she decided to leave the planet and become a bounty hunter as her aunt before her . She thought of her life as very wild , often making remarks about how another crazy event was just another day in the life of Jas . She preferred to work alone , unlike Sugi , who often tried to help those who could not help themselves and worked with team members regularly . Galactic Civil War . Battle of Endor . During the Battle of Endor , Jas was on Endor as the Rebel Alliance sought to destroy the shield generator that was protecting the second Death star . From a vantage point on a tree , she could see the battle unfold between the Ewok s , rebels , and Empire . She was hired by the Empire to target Prince ss Leia Organa , but once the tide of the battle switched to favor the rebels , she decided not to take the shot , realizing that she must switch sides in the war if she was to survive . She then climbed down from her tree and took her speeder , cleverly disguised next to a tree , away from the scene of the battle . When she gathered her speeder , she saw Sinjir Rath Velus covered in blood and dressed as a rebel , and they made eye contact for a brief moment before she left . New Republic . Bounty on Akiva . After the Battle of Endor , she took jobs that served the New Republic , the new government created by the Rebel Alliance , or worked against the Empire . One of these jobs was to assassin ate the Imperial slaver and financier Arsin Crassus , who was supposed to arrive on the remote Outer Rim world of Akiva at Satrap Isstra Dirus ' s palace . Jas took up position on a rusted tower high above Akiva ' s old capitol building in the capital city Myrra . However , when Crassus landed in his yacht , the " Golden Harp " , she noticed that several other Imperial ships were landing at the same time ; bringing with them Grand Moff Valco Pandion , Yupe Tashu , General Jylia Shale , and Admiral Rae Sloane . These Imperials had come to Akiva to attend an emergency summit which had been organized by Admiral Sloane to discuss the future of the Empire . Instead of taking the shot on Crassus , she decided they would be worth a lot more together and decided to take a new course of action . Before she could do anything , she was shot down from her perch by the Imperial officer Morna Kee , who was pilot ing Sloane ' s " Lambda " - class shuttle . Jas survived her fall but crashed into Temmin Wexley ' s junk shop . There , she was captured by the Sullustan Surat Nuat , a local crime lord who headed a gang . Surat quickly recognized Jas as a bounty hunter . Jas tried to talk her way out of trouble by offering to hunt down Temmin , who had incurred the wrath of Surat by stealing a valuable cargo shipment . When Jas admitted that she was targeting an Imperial official , Surat revealed that he was working for the Empire and after denouncing the New Republic , ordered his henchmen to take her prisoner . Surat took Jas Emari to The Alcazar , a cantina and gambling den which served as his base . Surat intended to sell Jas as a slave or exchange her with the Empire . One of the patrons at The Alcazar was Sinjir , an ex - Imperial loyalty officer , whom she had encountered earlier on Endor . Recognizing the Zabrak , Sinjir attempted to buy her claiming that he worked for the Empire . However , Surat did not intend to sell Jas to the Empire and ordered his men to kill Sinjir . Following a brief gun battle , Sinjir was knocked out by the bartender and imprisoned with Jas . Unlikely allies . Jas found herself locked into a cage beside Sinjir . Following a tense conversation , Jas and Sinjir agreed to put aside their differences and work together to save Temmin , another captive of Surat . Jas managed to free herself and Sinjir from their cages by using a lockpick that she kept in a fake horn on her head . The two unlikely allies then rescued Temmin from having his tongue ripped out by Surat ' s henchmen . Following a firefight with Surat ' s henchmen and several Imperial stormtrooper s , Jas and her fellow captives managed to escape with the help of Temmin ' s mother Norra Wexley , a New Republic starfighter pilot on a bala - bala speeder . Since there was not enough room on Norra ' s speeder , Jas wrapped a chain around a dead Gran gangster ' s body and used it as a makeshift wakesurfer . Jas joined her new allies at the home of Esmelle , Temmin ' s aunt and Norra ' s older sister . After settling down at their refuge , she and Sinjir discussed their plan to disrupt the Imperial emergency summit and capture their targets ; using various household objects and cutlery as improvised sets for their " map . " When Jas told Norra about her plan , Norra told her that she was only interested in taking her son Temmin offworld . After Temmin expressed an interest in helping the bounty hunters and Jas raised the subject of the capture of the New Republic pilot Wedge Antilles , Norra reluctantly agreed to help Jas and Sinjir in return for getting safe passage of Akiva . Shortly later , Jas , Sinjir , and the Wexleys were joined by Temmin ' s modified B1 battle droid " Mister Bones " , who had survived the skirmish at The Alcazar . When Norra attacked Sinjir after learning that he was an Imperial officer , Jas restrained Wexley with her blaster and convinced the two to put aside their differences . Norra agreed and devised a plan to inspire a rebellion on Akiva , capture the Imperial Future Council , and free Antilles . This was her first time working with a team and trusting others with her mission . While Sinjir , Temmin , and Mister Bones infiltrated an Imperial communications station and uploaded a New Republic propaganda broadcast , Jas and Norra headed back to Temmin ' s junkshop . There , Jas killed several unidentified hostiles who had been lying in wait for the Wexleys . Norra then stole a TIE fighter and used it to destroy several other TIE fighters and Imperial shuttle s , hampering the Imperial delegates ' escape from Akiva . Norra ' s fighter was shot down but she managed to bail out . The rebels ' propaganda broadcast had the effect of inspiring an uprising in Myrra and a large crowd assembled outside the Satrap ' s Palace . Fighting the Empire . Following her first joint operation with the Wexleys and Sinjir , Jas reunited with Temmin , Mister Bones , and Sinjir at a cantina called Pok ' s Place . Since she had witnessed Norra ' s TIE fighter crashing into the Satrap ' s Palace , she believed that Norra had perished during the attack on the Satrap ' s Palace until Norra herself showed up . Putting the next phase of their plan into action , the rebels decided to use Myrra ' s underground catacombs to infiltrate the Satrap ' s Palace and capture the Imperials . Temmin offered to serve as a guide but needed to return to his junk shop to retrieve maps . While the other rebels waited for Temmin , Jas stood guard outside the building . Unknown to Jas and the others , Temmin retreated to his private " hidey - hole - nook - and - cubby " and secretly contacted Surat . He offered to sell Jas and Sinjir to the gangster in return for securing him , his mother Norra , and Mister Bones safe passage off Akiva . Surat accepted the deal but double - crossed Temmin by negotiating another deal with Admiral Sloane to capture Norra . Together with her companions , they traveled through the underground passages beneath Myrra . While navigating through a Clone Wars - era battlefield , Sinjir took the opportunity to voice his suspicions about Temmin ' s nervousness to Jas . Though Emari initially thought that Sinjir had romantic feelings for her but Sinjir implied that he did not have feelings for the opposite sex . While traveling through an abandoned Separatist factory , they were ambushed by several Uugteen primitives . Jas and her companions managed to escape the Uugteens after Temmin ignited a box of detonator s . With Temmin as their guide , Jas and her party made their way through the Old Banking Clan building and reached the entrance to the Satrap ' s Palace . Jas devised a plan to ambush several stormtroopers and palace guards and gain entrance to the palace . However , they were captured by Admiral Sloane and her stormtroopers . Once inside the palace , Jas learned about Temmin ' s secret deal with Surat . When Surat revealed his secret arrangement with Sloane , Temmin protested but was unable to stop the Imperials from taking away his mother and disintegrating Mister Bones . Prior to leaving Temmin , she told him that he would make a good bounty hunter . Sinjir added that the boy would make a better Imperial . With a crowd besieging the Satrap ' s Palace , Jas and her fellow captives were taken aboard Crassus ' s yacht " Golden Harp " . Their fellow passengers were the high - ranking Imperial officials and several stormtroopers . However , Temmin managed to infiltrate the " Golden Harp " and reached Jas ' s cell through a maintenance hatch . While Sinjir remonstrated with Grand Moff Pandion , Temmin freed Jas and Norra . Jas then singlehandedly held Pandion at gunpoint . Before a firefight could break out , Sloane crash - landed the yacht in the hangar bay of her Imperial Star Destroyer " Vigilance " . Jas and her rebel companions survived the crash but Crassus and most of the Imperial stormtroopers aboard were killed . Jas managed to stun and capture General Shale , Adviser Tashu , and Sloane ' s aide Adea Rite but was unable to capture Pandion and Sloane , who escaped aboard another shuttle . Jas , Sinjir , and Temmin then rescued Wedge and evacuated their Imperial captives aboard a shuttle before the " Vigilance " was destroyed by a New Republic fleet that had emerged from hyperspace . Meanwhile , Norra attempted to pursue Sloane ' s shuttle in a stolen TIE fighter but narrowly escaped death when the Admiral detached the main compartment of her shuttle with the recalcitrant Pandion ; causing a fiery explosion . Juggling debts and hunting . After Akiva became a member of the New Republic , Jas joined forces with Norra , Temmin , Sinjir , Mister Bones , and the New Republic Special Forces soldier Jom Barell to hunt down surviving Imperial targets across the galaxy . Working with Norra ' s team , Emari managed to capture at six Imperial fugitives including Commandant Stradd , Prefect Kosh , Moff s Keong and Nyall , Vice General Adambo and the former Imperial Security Bureau minister Venn Eowelt . By 5 ABY , Jas found herself heavily indebted to several underworld creditors . Several of these debts had been incurred by her late aunt Sugi , who had a reputation for bailing out of " dishonorable " jobs , " burning " her clients and doing low - pay work to protect underdogs , slaves , and pariahs . One of her creditors even placed a bounty on her head . During a mission to collect a New Republic bounty on Vice Admiral Perwin Gedde , Jas decided to raise funds by pretending to betray Norra and her team to the Vorlaggn crime lord Slussen Canker , who was sheltering Gedde at his palace on Vorlag . Jas confided in Norra ' s son Temmin but withheld the information from the team ' s leader , Norra . Putting her plan into action , Jas accompanied Norra ' s team on their undercover mission . After capturing Gedde , Jas and the others were soon captured by Slussen and his guards . However , Jas then took the opportunity to switch sides and claimed that she was collecting a bounty on Norra and her team . In return for capturing the intruders , Slussen paid Jas a fifteen percent finder ' s fee . Slussen ordered that Jas and her crew be locked into cages . Despite her apparent betrayal , Emari arranged for the key to the cages to be tied to the neck of a hroth - beast . This enabled Norra and her team to escape from their cell . Meanwhile , Jas tied up the drugged Gedde in his room . Shortly later , she was joined by Norra and her team , who had escaped through the lava tube . Jas and her team then escaped with Gedde aboard her gunship " Halo " , which was being flown by Temmin . After escaping Imperial fighters and reaching space , the other crew confronted Jas for her " triple - cross " on Vorlag . The New Republic soldier Jom was particularly angry and argued fiercely with Emari . At some point , the argument became so heated that the two locked themselves in a bunkroom . However , Jas and Jom reconciled and fell in love . Rest and recreation . After returning to the New Republic capital of Chandrila , Norra prepared to hand Perwin over to the New Republic authorities . However , they quickly discovered that Gedde had died while in transit . Examining the body , Jas deduced that Gedde had been poisoned with kytrogorgia and that someone had mixed the poison with his spice . Later , Jas found her friend Sinjir at bar off Junari Point near Hanna City . Sinjir had been meeting up with his lover Conder Kyl and had been accosted by two patrons Mister Browscar and Miss Scowlface , who did not like former Imperials . Sinjir had returned following a drunken stupor and beaten up Browscar and Scowlface . When Jas found him , Sinjir confronted her over her betrayal on Vorlag . Jas apologized for withholding her " triple - cross " plan from the other team members except Temmin . Following a heated conversation , Emari explained that she was heavily in debt . When Jas questioned Sinjir about Browscar and Scowlface , Sinjir merely replied that he had not killed them . Later , Jas and Sinjir met with the rest of Norra ' s team at the " Halo " . During the meeting , Jas theorized that the bounty hunter Mercurial Swift had killed Gedde under orders from the Empire to prevent him from divulging secrets to the New Republic . When Jas remarked that Gedde ' s death robbed them off credit s , Jom responded that they were not doing it for credits and accused her of not supporting the New Republic ' s cause . Jas then responded by accusing Jom of double standards by not bringing Slussen Canker , a known slaver , to justice . When Jom responded that they had orders from the Republic to capture Gedde , Jas likened him to an Imperial . Before the argument could escalate , Norra intervened to brief her team that Princess Leia Organa had solicited their help in finding her husband Han Solo , who had disappeared during a mission to find his Wookiee co - pilot Chewbacca . When Jas upstaged Norra by revealing that she already knew about her contact with Leia , Norra accused her of bugging her chambers . However , Jas countered that she had been paying attention to current affairs . Jas agreed to take part in Norra ' s new mission and agreed to solicit information from her underworld contacts . She speculated that Solo would have been clumsy enough to draw attention from underworld circles . Following the meeting , Sinjir confronted Emari on whether she was joining the mission for financial gain . Jas confirmed that this was the case because Princess Leia was relatively rich . Trip to Nar Shaddaa . Putting their plans into action , Jas and Jom traveled to the crime haven of Nar Shaddaa . After landing in a black market , Emari paid a Weequay to keep her ship " Halo " hidden and off syndicate registers . Jas did not want to attract the attention of Black Sun and the Crymorah syndicate , whom she owed debts to . Jas questioned Nyarla the Hutt about Solo , Chewbacca , and Imperial prisons in Wild Space . With Nyarla unable to help , Jas and Jom prepared to leave . However , the two of them were soon ambushed by a gang of Nikto led by Underboss Rynscar , who stunned Jom . The Underboss demanded that Jas pay up her aunt ' s debts . Since Jas was unable to pay up , she threatened to hand in Emari to Boss Gyuti , the leader of Black Sun . When Jom tried to intervene , Emari slammed her foot on his back and warned him not to get them killed . Jas then asked Rynscar whether the Hutts had betrayed her . Rynscar responded that the Hutts were in disarray and that Nyarla had returned to Black Sun . Emari then managed to convince Rynscar to let her pay twice the amount she owed Black Sun . She offered to turn herself in if she failed . Rynscar reluctantly agreed to let Jas go . In return , Jas asked for information about Han Solo . Using Rynscar ' s information , Jas contacted Sinjir and informed him about a planet called Irudiru in Wild Space . As a result , Sinjir was able to question Tashu about a prison architect named Golas Aram . After returning to the " Halo " , Barell accused her of selling out the team . Emari responded that she was only buying them more time . The two then shared a kiss before returning to Chandrila . After returning to Chandrila , Jas and the team met up with Norra at the Skygarden above Hanna City . Norra and the team watched as Norra resigned her commissioned in the New Republic Starfleet to find Han Solo . Jas and Sinjir later decided to accompany Norra and her son on their mission to find Han Solo . Jas agreed to come in return for a token fee of ten credits . However , Jom decided not to come because he did not want to leave on an unsanctioned mission . Joining forces with Han Solo . Jas and the rest of Norra ' s team traveled to Irudiru . After landing , they ventured to Golas Aram ' s compound but found it well defended by ghosted lasers , land mines , turret - droids , and carnivorous thirstgrass . Jas also deployed a listening bug which her friend Temmin had built . During their scouting mission , they were attacked by a herd of morak beasts but were rescued by Han Solo , who used a grenade to blind the creatures . Jas and her team later met with Han at a cantina in the nearby town of Kai Pompos . After Norra told Han about the purpose of their visit , Jas remarked that he was their prize but denied that she was a bounty hunter . When Sinjir pointed out that she was indeed a bounty hunter , she told him to shut up . In return , Han told them that he had traveled to Irudiru because he wanted to rescue his Wookiee friend Chewbacca , who was imprisoned at Ashmead ' s Lock prison on Kashyyyk . Since Golan had designed the prison for the Empire , Han wanted to question him . Having found Han , Norra ' s team agreed to help Solo storm Aram ' s compound and rescue Chewbacca . Working together , Jas disabled the pulse mines around Aram ' s compound by using her slugthrower to identify their electronic signatures and ignite one of the mines . After Temmin and Mister Bones disabled the conduit from the wind farm that powered the electric fence and turrets , Jas and Sinjir infiltrated Aram ' s compound . The two soon came under attack from several commando droids but they managed to destroy them with the help of Jom Barell , who had experienced a change of heart and decided to help Norra ' s team . Though Aram managed to escape , he was quickly captured by Norra before he could flee offworld . After Sinjir had finished interrogating Aram , she chatted with Barell while Solo and Norra went to Kai Pompos to fetch supplies . Ashmead ' s Lock . Jas , her team , and Han Solo traveled to Kashyyyk aboard the " Halo " and Solo ' s freighter , the " Millennium Falcon " . They managed to pass through the Imperial blockade by posing as repair crew being sent to service Ashmead ' s Lock prison . Upon entering the atmosphere , Jas followed the " Falcon " in the " Halo " . After finding Ashmead ' s Lock , Jas warned that they could be heading into a trap but Han would have none of it . Emari ' s fears were confirmed when the rebels were confronted by SOL - GDA , the prison ' s automated computer . When the rebels failed to supply the pass - code , SOL - GDA dispatced security droids to incorporate them into the prison . Jas stayed with Solo and used her slugthrower to blast several of the droids . Jas and Han managed to reach the control room but failed to shut down the computer system . The two were besieged by several security droids but were rescued by Temmin and Mister Bones . Venturing deeper into the prison , Jas , Han , and Temmin discovered that the prison was being powered by prisoners who were being housed in stasis pods . After Temmin spotted the cable linking the stasis pods to the power generator , Jas and Han managed to destroy the cable with their guns . This deactivated SOL - GDA and allowed Jas and her companions to free a hundred prisoners at Ashmead ' s Lock including Chewbacca and Temmin ' s father Brentin Lore Wexley . While Norra , Temmin , Bones and the prisoners chose to return to Chandrila on the " Millennium Falcon " , Jas decided to stay behind and help Han and Chewie liberate Kashyyyk from Imperial rule . Jas managed to convince Sinjir and Jom to stay behind by recalling their failure to free Slussen Canker ' s slaves . When Sinjir remarked that she would not get paid for it , Jas responded that she was not in it for the money and that she had felt good liberating Akiva . Jom commended her for her desire too good . After parting company with Norra and her team , Jas flew her friends , Han , and Chewie on the " Halo " away from Black Forest to a wroshyr tree hideout . There , Han outlined his plan to liberate the Wookiees of Kashyyyk by finding Grand Moff Lozen Tolruck and disabling the control module which controlled the Wookiees ' inhibitor chips . Liberating Kashyyyk . A month later , Jas helped Han Solo and Chewbacca by recruiting several Wookiee refugees and smugglers to take part in the liberation of Kashyyyk . Among her recruits were the former Wookiee slave Greybok , the Weequay Hatchet , and the Quarren Palabar . While Sinjir went to rescue Jom Barell from Grand Moff Tolruck ' s island fortress , Jas landed her gunship " Halo " on the ghost city of Awrathakka near the Imperial slave labor camp Camp Sardo . Jas , Han , Chewie , and their rebel recruits then climbed a wroshyr tree overlooking Camp Sardo ' s deflector shield generator . Despite being attacked by Imperial forest trooper s and a Low - altitude Imperial transport , Jas managed to destroy the shield generator with one shot of her slugthrower . This coincided with Sinjir ' s successful plan to disable the Wookiees ' inhibitor chips at Tolruck ' s fortress . While the Wookiees attacked Imperial forces , Jas along with Greybok , Hatchet , and Palabar flew the " Halo " and bombarded the Imperial walkers and forces . After Grand Moff Tolruck ordered the orbiting Star Destroyers to bombard Kashyyyk ' s surface , Jas reunited with her companions Sinjir and Jom . After evacuating the Wookiees beneath Awarathakka , Jas aided Han and Chewbacca ' s efforts to take out the orbiting Star Destroyers . Emari ' s gunship " Halo " accompanied Han and Chewie ' s transport , which was loaded with webweaver spider s , to the Star Destroyer " Dominion " . After Han and Chewie landed in the " Dominion " hangar , Jas blasted the Imperial troops aboard . She then landed her gunship and joined the mission to take control of the Star Destroyer . Jas and her comrades were captured by stormtroopers and brought before Vice Admiral Domm Korgale . However , Han and Chewie ' s team managed to hijack the " Dominion " and used it to destroy the Star Destroyer " Vitiator " . Shortly later , New Republic forces under Princess Leia , Captain Antilles , and Admiral Ackbar arrived and accepted the surrender of the remaining Imperial forces on Kashyyyk . Hunting Rae Sloane . Trapping Mercurial Swift . Following the liberation of Kashyyyk , Jas reunited with Sinjir and told him that she was planning to leave Norra ' s team . Seeking to pay her debts , Jas wanted to find work collecting New Republic bounties . Jas then gave Sinjir a ride back to Chandrila , which was reeling from the recent attack on Chandrila . Due to the fallout of the attack on Chandrila , the New Republic Security Bureau had stopped hiring bounty hunters . Unable to find work , Jas joined up with Norra , Temmin , Mister Bones , and Sinjir on a mission to hunt down Grand Admiral Rae Sloane , whom Norra believed was responsible for the attack on Chandrila . Their mission was financed by their new friend Princess Leia . After several months of searching , Norra ' s team decided to trap Mercurial Swift , who was known to have worked for Sloane in the past . Jas and her fellow hunters planned to question Swift about Sloane ' s whereabouts . With the help of the wilder girl Vazeen Mordraw , the hunters set a trap for Swift on the planet Taris by planting a false bounty on Mordaw . Swift ventured into Mordraw ' s hideout inside a wrecked freighter in Taris ' ruined Talinn district . Norra and Sinjir ambushed Swift , who tried to escape . However , Jas blocked his escape path and stunned him with her blaster . Later that night , Jas and her companions interrogated Swift . Upon awakening , Swift recognized and joked that Dengar had been right about the day that bounties would be placed on bounty hunters . Jas responded that Boss Gyuti had already placed a bounty on her head . When Norra and Sinjir questioned Swift about his connection to Sloane , the bounty hunter was initially defiant . However , Sinjir managed to force Swift to cooperate by threatening to send the droid Mister Bones to harm his mother Tabba Teldar . Cornered , Swift revealed that Sloane had hired him to search the Emperor ' s wrecked yacht " Imperialis " for information about an Imperial officer named Gallius Rax . He also told Norra ' s team that Sloane had traveled to the planet Jakku in the Western Reaches . Following the interrogation , Jas proposed killing Swift since he was still a threat . However , Norra instead knocked him unconscious with one of his stun batons . The decision to spare Swift would have ramifications for Jas . Seeking vengeance , Swift decided to collect Boss Gyuti ' s bounty on her . Journey to Jakku . During the journey to Jakku , Jas searched Norra ' s freighter " Moth " for her ammo belt . Jas eventually found the ammo belt in the kitchen and confronted Sinjir , demanding to know why her ammunition was in the kitchen . Sinjir responded that he was a man burdened by conflict and that he bid his time drinking Kowakian rum . During the conversation , Sinjir confided that he was a man without purpose . When Sinjir asked her why she did not hurt Swift , Jas responded that words could be violent . When Jas expressed concerns that Norra was becoming like her , Sinjir reassured her that she was the one advising caution . Jas also related her concerns about the emotional turmoil that Norra was going through regarding her husband and her son . Sinjir then reassured Jas that she was a good person because she cared about others . Jas complimented Sinjir for both his sarcasm and for making sense . When Jas remarked that she hoped that Jakku would not have anymore surprises for them , Sinjir responded that the galaxy was full of surprises . Sinjir was proven right when the " Moth " exited hyperspace and came under attack from an Imperial fleet . Jas and her companions soon discovered that the Imperial remnants under Gallius Rax had relocated to Jakku for a final showdown with the New Republic . When Norra entered an escape pod to continue her pursuit for Sloane , Jas tried to stop her . Jas tried to forcibly remove Norra but the other woman fought back . In the end , Jas agreed to accompany Norra down to Jakku to hunt for Sloane . Meanwhile , Temmin and Sinjir took the " Moth " back to Chandrila to warn the New Republic that the Empire had fled to Jakku . At Temmin ' s command , Mister Bones followed Norra and Jas down to Jakku to look after them . After landing their escape pod in the deserts of Jakku , the two salvaged the pod for weapons and equipment before trekking through the desert . That night , they were ambushed by two alien s . The aliens were then killed by a stormtrooper patrol , who took the two women captive . Escaping captivity . After the Imperial authorities on Jakku discovered that Jas had a bounty on her head , they had her shipped to Niima the Hutt ' s palace on a shuttle . Niima ' s slaves discovered the lock pick concealed in her false horn . As a result , Jas was forced to fashion weapons out of her three cranial horns . After several attempts , Jas managed to break off the horns by slamming her skull against the stone wall of her cell . While in captivity , Emari caught a glimpse of the fugitive Rae Sloane accompanying Niima on an expedition to a mysterious valley . After learning that Jas had been captured , Mercurial Swift and his new bounty hunting crew Dengar , Embo , and Jeeta traveled to Niima ' s temple to collect Emari . Emari was acquainted with both Embo and Dengar , having worked with them on past hunting missions . She respected Embo , who got on well with her aunt Sugi , but had a difficult relationship with Dengar , who was unpopular with many within his trade . Using her broken horns as improvised weapons , Jas attacked Swift , scarring his face . She then used her rope to yank two of Niima ' s slaves into Swift , knocking him down . After kneeing one of the slave ' s heads into Swift ' s nose , she killed the last guard by breaking his neck . Jas then used her horns to saw through the rope . Jas then escaped her cell and navigated her way through a series of tunnels . Jas was pursued by several of Niima ' s slaves but managed to fight them off . She then reached a hangar pad where she found Swift ' s Corellian shuttle being guarded by her old friend Embo . Following a brief reunion , Jas managed to convince Embo not to hand her over to Swift . She also convinced him to allow her to escape on Swift ' s shuttle . Jas managed to flee aboard the shuttle shortly after Dengar entered the hangar pad . While traveling over the deserts of Jakku , Jas sighted Norra and Mister Bones traveling on a speeder bike . She landed her stolen shuttle on a nearby dune . After sharing some refreshments , the two women updated each other about their previous misadventures . Jas related her escape from Niima ' s temple while Norra recounted her escape from Imperial captivity with Mister Bone ' s help . Jas also told Norra that she had sighted Sloane traveling with Niima ' s caravan . While her stolen ship had Imperial clearance codes , the two women decided to resume their hunt for Sloane with the help of Mister Bones . Continuing the hunt . While traveling over the deserts of Jakku , Jas hatched a plan which involved Norra flying the shuttle while she landed on the sand and grabbed Sloane . They soon discovered that Niima ' s caravan had been attacked by turbolaser emplacements originating from beyond the Plaintive Hand plateau . These turbolasers were part of the Jakku Observatory , which was central to the late Emperor ' s Contingency plan . As they approached the eastern pillars of the Plaintive Hand plateau , Norra caught side of Sloane and her husband Brentin hiding together . Before they could complete their plan , Jas was forced to pull their shuttle way due to the approach of three Imperial shuttles . These shuttles were carrying Sloane ' s rival Gallius Rax , who had proclaimed himself Counselor to the Empire , and a contingent of stormtroopers . Rax took Sloane and Brentin into custody and " invited " them to watch the demise of the Old Empire . The following day , Jas and Norra returned to the site of Niima ' s caravan . While most of her slaves had perished during the Imperial turbolaser attack , the two women encountered a wounded Niima . Speaking through a translator device , Niima recognized Jas as the Zabrak captive in her dungeon . While Niima wanted to kill her , she decided to help Jas and Norra . In return for bringing her back to her temple , she offered to give them clearance codes to the main Imperial base , where Sloane and Brentin had been taken to . After rescuing Niima and bringing her home , the grateful Hutt crime lady furnished them with an old Imperial shuttle , old Imperial uniforms , and the clearance codes which they needed to reach the main Imperial base . While preparing for their mission , Jas told Norra that she was helping her out of her own free will and respect . Before they could leave , Mercurial Swift and his crew returned and demanded that Niima hand over Jas . Jas decided to stay behind and distract the bounty hunters while Norra and Mister Bones departed for the main Imperial base . After Dengar threatened Niima , Jas allowed herself to be captured in order to prevent further blood from being shed . Turning the tables on Swift . Swift and his crew took Niima into custody . They departed Niima ' s temple in Swift ' s reclaimed Corellian shuttle . Swift wanted to leave immediately for Nar Shaddaa to deliver Emari to Boss Gyuti . However , they were forced to delay their departure due to the Battle of Jakku . Swift reluctantly ordered the ship ' s pilot Jeeta to head towards a canyon . While in captivity , Jas managed to sow discord between Swift and his crew . Knowing that Embo and Dengar had debts to pay , Jas told them that they could secure money and full pardons from the New Republic if they helped to hunt down Rae Sloane . Swift tried to reassert his authority but Dengar pointed out that he and the other crew did not like him . Dengar struck Swift with his blaster . Enraged , Swift grabbed Jas by the neck and moved towards the ramp . However , Emari headbutted him with her new , growing horns . She then broke free of the bounty hunter and threw him out of the shuttle ' s door . Dengar and Embo complimented Jas . When Jeeta asked what was going on , Dengar vouched that she was not loyal to Swift . Jas then decided to hire the three bounty hunters as her new crew , an offer which they graciously accepted . Jas and her crew managed to pick up Norra and her late husband Brentin outside the Jakku Observatory .
