Prior to the Siege of Lasan , Gron was a member of the Lasan High Honor Guard and served under Captain Garazeb Orrelios . Gron and his traveling companion Chava the Wise were among the few Lasat refugee s to survive the brutal Imperial pacification of Lasan . In 3 BBY , Gron and Chava smuggled themselves onto a cargo container which ended up on Nixus Hub 218 . However , the Weequay pirate Hondo Ohnaka alerted the Imperial authorities to their arrival and they were captured . Fortunately for the Lasat , Ohnaka had also alerted his former one - time " business partner " Ezra Bridger to their arrival . Ezra and his rebel companions assaulted the Imperials and rescued Gron and Chava . One of their rebel rescuers turned out to be his former commander Zeb , who had joined a rebel cell that operated from the VCX - 100 light freighter known as the " Ghost " . As Gron and Chava along with their rebel rescuers made their way to the " Ghost " hangar bay , Chava told them that she and Gron were searching for Lira San , world described in prophecy as a safe system where the Lasat could begin a new life . While Gron and Chava were optimistic about Lira San , Zeb was skeptical and despondent due to his guilt at failing to protect the Lasan royal family and their former homeworld . On they way , they were ambushed by Imperial stormtrooper s and a gunfight broke out . However Gron , Chava , and their rebel allies were able to escape due to some assistance from Ohnaka who sealed the exits ; preventing the stormtroopers from apprehending them . After Gron , Chava , and their rescuers had escaped aboard the " Ghost " into hyperspace , Gron and Chava began a ritual to guide the travelers to Lira San , a legendary planet that was not found on the official star charts . According to an ancient Lasat legend , Lira San could only be found if a " child of prophecy " saved both the " fool " and the " warrior . " While Zeb initially refused to participate in the ritual , he agreed to help Gron and Chava at the urging of his fellow crew member Ezra . During the ritual , Zeb activated his bo - rifle in the ancient Lasat style which interacted with Chava ' s staff . The two devices then produced a surge of energy which interacted with a holographic map of the galaxy activated by the astromech droid Chopper ; pointing Lira San ' s location to a set of coordinates in Wild Space , an uncharted region that lay outside the Outer Rim Territories . Together , Gron and his companions traveled to the coordinates in Wild Space but found their path blocked by a collapsed star cluster . Gron and his rebel companions ' problems were further complicated when an " Arquitens " - class command cruiser commanded by the Imperial Security Bureau Agent Kallus arrived to destroy them . Gron along with Chava and the other rebels watched as Zeb fulfilled the Lasat prophecy by assuming the roles of child , fool , and warrior at once . Using his bo - rifle , Zeb guided the " Ghost " safely through the collapsed star cluster . The Imperial light cruiser attempted to pursue them but was forced back after the ship sustained damage from the cluster ' s gravitational pull . Upon entering the cluster , the " Ghost " miraculously jumped into hyperspace . Gron and his companions were knocked out by a bright blast of light . When they emerged from hyperspace , Gron and his companions sighted the planet Lira San in the horizon . Gron and Chava traveled down to Lira San with Zeb while the other rebels stayed aboard the " Ghost " . The three Lasat landed on Lira San and discovered that the planet was the original Lasat homeworld and was home to millions of Lasat . While Gron and Chava decided to settle on their new homeworld , Zeb returned to his rebel companions with the promise to bring more Lasat refugees to Lira San . Personality and traits .
