Imperial TIE bombers attack the Rebel base on Aguarl 3 , but the Rebels manage to stop all but one of them . The lone pilot carries out the attack as ordered , and returns to the " Ravagor " badly damaged . The pilot , Ranulf Trommer , survives , but must have a mechanical leg implanted when he loses his biological one . On M ' haeli , a local " seer " , Ch ' no , defends his adopted Human daughter Mora , and then has a vision of an Imperial attack on the planet . Shortly thereafter , Ranulf Trommer is called to Grand Moff Lynch with his father , Admiral Trommer , and given a promotion . He is to go to M ' haeli and spy on local Governor Grigor . He and his father speak about the assignment and are overheard by Ambassador Jollie . On M ' haeli , Imperials attack a Rebel cell that has been searching for the rumored lost heir to the M ' haeli ruling family . The raid prompts two H ' drachi , N ' ton and R ' han , to join the Rebels . At the Imperial garrison , Grigor is informed by Jollie that Lynch has sent Grigor ' s new aide , Trommer , as a spy . Back in the capital city , N ' croth , Mora is hired by two Rebels , Merrik and Jalose , to augment two swoops for guerrilla warfare . Ch ' no then takes Mora to see the H ' drachi elders , but their presence disrupts the Force - like meditations of the elders . Ranulf finally arrives on the planet after defending an Imperial dreadnought from attack by Rebels , under Leia Organa ' s command . He is sent by Grigor to ingratiate himself with Mora in an attempt to integrate himself into the " junker " culture on the planet . He takes D - 4R5 , Grigor ' s droid , shot by Grigor and thus in need of repairs , to Mora ' s repair shop , but they are all accosted by stormtroopers seeking Rebels and to eliminate Ranulf for Grigor . Mora saves his life , with the help of Merrik and Jalose who have arrived to get their swoops . The two Rebels have been accompanied by Leia , whom Mora recognizes from her wanted posters , and N ' ton , and along with Ch ' no , they all board swoops and escape into the night . They are attacked by Imperials , but make their escape without too much of a problem . Mora and Ranulf are sent to a cave near to the Rebel base , but not the base itself , until they can be sure of Ranulf ' s loyalty . The other go to the Rebel base itself . In N ' croth , the elders decide to turn against Ch ' no and let the Empire destroy him , Mora , and the Rebels , thus saving their own selves . Based on Ch ' no ' s information , Mora and Ranulf take off for a dragite crystal mine that Grigor has been running without Imperial sanction . The Rebels could make certain use the information they would gather , which would help them to be trusted . Once there , Mora ' s presence interrupts the meditations of several H ' drachi , and see Imperials ( well , scum hired by Grigor and dressed as stormtroopers ) beating up R ' han , N ' ton ' s friend . Mora and Ranulf manage to disrupt the operation and escape with a handful of dragite crystals to use as proof of the operation ' s existence . When they reunite with the Rebels , they all rest for the night , but Ranulf believes that if he exposes Grigor to his Imperial superiors , Grigor will leave the planet and his replacement will be less cruel , thus eliminating the need for rebellion on M ' haeli , which would allow him to be with Mora , whom he ' s come to love . He makes his way into the Imperial facility where Grigor is sleeping without incident ( using his Imperial credentials ) and catches Grigor in his sleep . Ranulf is taken prisoner , though . His former allies are against him for being against Grigor , and the Rebels are warned against him as Merrik arrives back at the Rebel base after seeing Ranulf enter the Imperial compound unimpeded . They fear that they have revealed their base ‘ s location to the enemy and prepare to move to a new base . Ranulf is tortured , but does not reveal the Rebel base ' s location to Grigor . In his absence , Merrik begins hitting on Mora , which make Jalose mad . At N ' croth , the city is blasted apart by Imperials looking for the Rebels . The Rebels decide to assault the mine in retaliation . Back at the garrison , the bounty hunter Glott arrives to fulfill Grigor ' s orders to find Mora . The Rebels are betrayed by Ph ' dan and Glott heads for the mine to apprehend them . In the dungeon , Ranulf escapes thanks to his Imperial training . He arrives at the mine just in time to see the victorious Rebels attacked by Glott . He proceeds to beat Glott up before the Rebels , seeing him in stormtrooper armor , let Glott go and take him instead . Glott orders Mora to be registered and then executed , but when they run her identi - print , they realize that she is the lost heir to M ' haeli . As a result , Grigor makes a planetary announcement — he will soon be marrying Queen Mora , thus cementing his power on M ' haeli . In desperation , Ranulf tells the Rebels his entire reason for being on M ' haeli , but is willing to help them save her . They assault Grigor ' s base and rescue Mora . They are pursued by Glott . In the pursuit , Jalose gives her life to save Mora , her queen . Ranulf then kills Glott . Finally , the H ' drachi rise in rebellion to the Empire and there is a massive battle in which Grigor is finally killed ( Ranulf kicks his gun hand while he ' s holding Mora hostage and it blasts his own head off ) . Shortly thereafter , Ranulf ' s father , Admiral Trommer arrives to congratulate Ranulf in helping bring down Grigor , but when he says that they must now get rid of Mora due to her family ' s ties to the Old Republic , Ranulf doesn ' t take that too kindly and he assaults the Imperials holding Mora and the two escape to join the Rebellion . Their first act is to help the Rebels destroy the mine . Merrik dies in the assault , but at least now he is with Jalose .
