Ahsoka and the cadets defeat Almec before he can succeed . " Plot summary . Anakin Skywalker escorts his Padawan Ahsoka Tano to Mandalore for her undercover assignment : to investigate the corruption within the government and also to teach aspiring cadets the ways of lawful and public - serving conduct . She was chosen specifically so , by her status as a learner and her youth , she could serve as a role model for the students . At the landing platform the two are welcomed by Duchess Satine herself , Prime Minister Almec , and the cadet s Korkie ( the Duchess ' own nephew ) , Amis and Lagos . Due to Obi - Wan Kenobi ' s previous encounters with the Death Watch on the planet , a no - weapons order has been issued , and Ahsoka is forced to surrender her lightsaber to her master , who leaves to rendezvous with fellow Jedi Kit Fisto . Ahsoka begins teaching classes , including Korkie and his friends , about the nature of corruption and their duty as lawful citizens to combat it . Later that evening , Korkie , Amis , Lagos , and Soniee talk about Ahsoka ' s lesson and Korkie muses over the rationing of the Academy ' s food supplies . They sneak off to a warehouse and stumble upon a clandestine meeting between three Mandalorian officers , three Gotal s , and a humanoid figure wreathed in a robe and hood , who unfortunately has his back turned to the young cadets . They manage to get a holocam recording , but a blunder by Amis exposes the quartet ; they narrowly manage to leave , but Soniee ' s laptop terminal is found by the conspirators . The next morning , the cadets visit Satine and report their discovery . While Satine believes them , she cautions them to hold back as they are still too young and untrained for this sort of thing , suspecting that the conspiracy runs even deeper . The cadets do not take this dismissal kindly and choose to ask Almec for help . In class , Ahsoka notices that the four are distracted and learns of their plans , but her own well - meaning words of caution dispirits the young cadets even more . The same night , as the cadets prepare to meet with the Prime Minister , they are met by members of the Mandalorian secret service , who attempt to arrest them for treason and conspiracy , but Ahsoka steps in and drives them away . By analyzing the holo - recording of the warehouse meeting , the cadets and Ahsoka discover to their surprise that the cloaked figure from the warehouse is Almec himself . As the five rush off to inform Satine , they find her missing and her bodyguards dead . Desperate , the cadets turn to Ahsoka for leadership , who devises a cunning plan : By pretending that she has arrested the cadets and voicing the suspicion that Satine is involved , she apparently gains Almec ' s trust but fails to learn of the Duchess ' whereabouts . While Almec leaves to prepare a public statement , Ahsoka enters the prison under the pretense of wanting to conduct an interrogation , informs the cadets about the changes in her plan , and via Force suggestion makes one of the guards take her to Satine ' s cell . But unfortunately , it turns out to be a trap ; Almec has been waiting for this to happen , the officers prove to be resistant to Jedi mind tricks , and Ahsoka is hit by a stun blast and captured . Almec proceeds to gloat over having established the black market system on Mandalore , self - indulgently claiming it was done out of humanitarian considerations . He tries to make the Duchess sign a confession of treason , which she refuses , so Almec has Korkie and the others brought to him to persuade her otherwise . When he prepares to have Korkie fit with a shock collar , Ahsoka and the cadets start a fight , and though outnumbered and handcuffed , they manage to overpower the guards and clamp a shock collar on Almec himself , forcing him to give up . After the conspirators are arrested , Ahsoka departs from her new friends , following her master back into the war while exchanging a few of their usual snippy comments about her assignment . Behind the scenes . The Mandalorian prison guards have a crest upon their shoulder that reads " In Defense of Mandalore " . It is written in a Mandalorian type - face developed for the Slave I display screens in Star Wars : Episode II Attack of the Clones .
