During the early rebellion against the Galactic Empire , Prince ss Leia Organa , a senator within the Galactic Empire , joined the rebel network . Organa ' s involvement eventually led to her securing information regarding the location of Imperial bases within a data - tape . After making contact with the rebel Spectres cell , Organa agreed to hand over the tapes on the planet Garel in Garel City . Rather than carrying the data - tape with her , Organa instead hid the tape somewhere in the Garel City Spaceport . The mission . While waiting for her rebel contact , Organa traversed the Garel spaceport under the protection of an Imperial stormtrooper escort . While walking through the spaceport , Organa ' s group were ambushed by a female in Mandalorian armor . The stromtroopers were splattered with paint from a paint bomb and Organa was lassoed and dragged away by the Mandalorian figure , whom the stormtroopers believed to be a bounty hunter . A bay door closed behind Organa , after which the Mandalorian introduced herself as Sabine Wren , a member of the Spectres . The kidnapping was nothing more than a ploy to separate Organa from her escort so that the acquisition of the data - tape could commence . Meanwhile , the stromtroopers used an arc welder to begin cutting through the door , as its controls had been destroyed during the kidnapping . Organa led Wren to the tape ' s location , but upon retrieving it the pair was attacked by the droid bounty hunter IG - 88 , who had apparently taken an interest in the data - tape after following the pair through the spaceport . Wren used another paint bomb to create a distraction , and Organa and Wren escaped back to where the stormtroopers were just finishing cutting through the door . Wren hid , and Organa pointed out IG - 88 as her aggressor . The stormtroopers opened fire and forced IG - 88 to retreat .
