Following the rescue , Gooti and the Iron Squadron joined the rebellion . Biography . Joining the rebellion . Gooti Terez was Theelin female who joined the Iron Squadron during the Age of the Empire alongside Mart Mattin , Jonner Jin and the astromech droid R3 - A3 . Following the death of Mart ' s father , Mart took over the leadership of the Iron Squadron . The Iron Squadron was solely interested in the planet Mykapo and maintained no contact with the other rebel cells . Gooti and her comrades operated from the YT - 2400 light freighter " Sato ' s Hammer " . Two years before the battle of Yavin , the Empire imposed martial law on Mykapo and sent an advance patrol to the system . The Iron Squadron clashed with the Imperial patrol . During the skirmish , the Iron Squadron ' s hyperdrive was damaged . The squadron was saved by the Spectres ' ship " Ghost " and Phoenix Squadron , which had traveled to the system to evacuate rebel sympathizers . The Iron Squadron ' s captain declined the Spectres ' leader Hera Syndulla ' s offer of assistance and single - handed destroyed the Imperial " Gozanti " - class cruiser that had led the patrol . Following the skirmish , Mart invited the Spectres aboard the " Sato ' s Hammer " . She and Jonner greeted Hera and her comrades Ezra Bridger , Sabine Wren , and the astromech droid Chopper when they came aboard . When Sabine noted that the ship was in a state of disarray , Gooti claimed that the Iron Squadron liked it this way . When Chopper got into a fight with R3 - A3 , who was repairing the hyperdrive , Gooti and Ezra were forced to separate the two astromech droids . She then explained that R3 - A3 had customized the ship to his specifications and was fiercely territorial . After meeting Mart , Gooti introduced herself and her crew while Ezra did the same for his crew . While Mart and Hera argued about the merits of staying in the system , Gooti interrupted the conversation to serve waffles . However , the two rebel cells were unable to agree on the question of leaving the system . Gooti along with Jonner sided with their captain and reiterated that they would not leave their home system . After the first meeting failed , Ezra convinced Hera to let him , Sabine , and Chopper make a second attempt to win over the Iron Squadron by repairing their hyperdrive . Hera agreed but warned that Ezra ' s team had to leave on the shuttle " Phantom II " at the first sign of Imperial activity . Sabine and Chopper joined forces with R3 - A3 to repair the hyperdrive in the presence of Gooti , Mart , Jonner , and Ezra . Mart thought that repairing the hyperdrive was unnecessary and returned to the cockpit . Ezra then chatted with Gooti and Jonner and warned them that they had to be ready to abandon their ship if the hyperdrive was not repaired in time . She and Jonner refused to abandon their captain and home . When Ezra told them that he was afraid of leaving his home on Lothal , Gooti responded that she was not afraid of the Empire . Ezra countered that the Iron Squadron were afraid of losing everything they knew and advised them not to fight the Empire on their own . When Gooti inquired if he wanted them not to fight , Ezra explained that they had to pick the right battles . In the end , Sabine , Chopper , and R3 - A3 managed to repair the hyperdrive . However , their efforts came to naught when Mart redirected the ship ' s power to the laser cannon s and the deflector shield s . After Mart ordered his crew to their battle stations , Gooti , Jonner and the other rebels traveled to the cockpit where they found that Imperial reinforcements under Admiral Kassius Konstantine had arrived in the system . Despite being outnumbered and outgunned , Mart urged his crew to fight . However , Ezra and Sabine argued against it . Gooti finally realized that Ezra was right and tried to reason with her captain . However , Mart was determined to fight the Imperials and plowed his ship forward . Gooti and Jonner then tried to reason again with Mart as the ship ' s power broke down . Seeing reason , Mart ordered an evacuation of " Sato ' s Hammer " . Gooti , Jonner , and R3 - A3 fled with the Spectres aboard the " Phantom II " . However , Mart changed his mind and stayed behind . He then launched a frontal attack on Konstantine ' s " Arquitens " - class command cruiser . However , the Admiral neutralized his bombs with his ship ' s forward batteries . The " Sato ' s Hammer " engines were disabled and the ship was stranded in space . Gooti and the other rebels managed to flee but they forced to leave Mart behind . Later , Gooti and her fellow rebels attended a briefing with the Spectres , Mart ' s uncle Commander Jun Sato , and the former Clone Captain Rex . Hera agreed to rescued Sato ' s nephew Mart to the joy of Gooti and Jonner . When Gooti warned that the Imperials could be setting a trap , Ezra reassured her that the trap was not very good and that they would work together to rescue Mart . During the rescue mission , Gooti prepared the hoist in the " Ghost " cargo bay . After Hera learned that Konstantine had attached a magno - mine to the hull of the " Sato ' s Hammer " , Gooti and Jonner opened the cargo bay doors which enabled Chopper and R3 - A3 to fly out with their rocket booster s . The two droids dislodged the magno - mine while the " Ghost " led the Imperial fighters on a chase . Gooti and Jonner manned the cargo bay when the " Ghost " picked up " Sato ' s Hammer " . After Sato arrived with reinforcements , Mart managed to damage Konstantine ' s cruiser by dropping the magno - mine on it . Gooti and the other rebels managed to flee just as Grand Admiral Thrawn arrived with his Imperial Star Destroyer " Chimaera " . Upon seeing Thrawn ' s ship , Gooti and her fellow rebels realized that they would not be able to take on a Star Destroyer on their own . The rebels then traveled to the Phoenix rebel base Chopper Base on the planet Atollon . There , Gooti and Jonner embraced their captain after he had reunited with his uncle . Personality and traits .
