Sabine Wren

Sabine Wren was a Force-sensitive human female Mandalorian warrior and revolutionary leader during the Galactic Civil War against the Galactic Empire, and later a Jedi during the early years of the New Republic. Her artistry during the rebellion inspired the symbol of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, and her claim over the ancient Mandalorian weapon known as the Darksaber made her a primary symbol to Clan Wren and the hopes of freeing her people's homeworld of Mandalore from the rule of the Empire.
Prior to becoming a rebel, Wren was a cadet at the Imperial Academy of Mandalore. She built weapons she believed would be used for peace but were instead used against her family and her people. Wracked with guilt, Wren left Mandalore and was branded a traitor by the Empire and her mother, Ursa Wren, leader of the clan. Wren worked as a bounty hunter alongside her friend Ketsu Onyo before being recruited by Captain Hera Syndulla and the Jedi Kanan Jarrus to join their rebel crew aboard the starship Ghost. Together, the crew fought against the Empire and used Wren's art as a symbol of hope. They became part of a larger rebel movement, with Wren's work continuing to inspire the fledgling rebellion.
In 2 BBY, while hunting down the former Sith Lord and deposed ruler of Mandalore Maul, Wren discovered the Darksaber on Dathomir. She initially wanted nothing to do with it, but Jarrus and Fenn Rau, a Mandalorian Protector of Concord Dawn who joined the rebellion, convinced her to wield it so she could unite the Mandalorian people and bring them into the rebellion. Wren returned to her family and convinced them of the Empire's treachery, helping to kill Gar Saxon, the Imperial Viceroy of Mandalore, in the process. After aiding her family in the Mandalorian Civil War, Sabine returned to aid the Rebel Alliance's struggle against the Empire. Wren and the Ghost Crew eventually returned to Lothal. During this time, Jarrus was killed, but she and the other members of the Lothal resistance group went onto fight to liberate the planet. While they succeeded, it was only after her friend Ezra Bridger disappeared into hyperspace with the Star Destroyer Chimaera.
At some point after the liberation of Lothal, Wren became the apprentice of former Jedi Ahsoka Tano despite not being any more Force-sensitive than the average person. Near the end of the Galactic Civil War however, the two had parted ways as Ahsoka feared that Sabine was training for the wrong reasons after the Empire destroyed Mandalore during the Night of a Thousand Tears, with her family among the casualties. Sabine took residence in the LothalNet comm tower E-272, Bridger's former hideout, where she lived for a number of years following the fall of the Empire. Tano returned to Wren around 9 ABY with a potential clue for the search for their missing friend Ezra, leading Sabine to come across Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati. After Sabine gave up a star map that the enemy was looking for, Skoll took her with his employer Morgan Elsbeth's forces to the other galaxy shown in the map, where she found Bridger on the unknown world of Peridea. Their reunion, however, came at the cost of allowing Elsbeth to find her master, the lost Grand Admiral Thrawn, and return him and his forces to their galaxy. Wren and Tano were left stranded on Peridea when Thrawn and his forces used the Eye of Sion to escape, with only Bridger making it on board the Chimaera, but the incident had given Wren a chance to unlock the Force inside of her. Wren's legacy left a lasting impact on the galaxy.
==Biography==
===Childhood===
A human female, Sabine Wren was born on the planet Mandalore in 21 BBY into Clan Wren of House Vizsla. Her mother Ursa was a member of Death Watch during a time when Mandalore had fallen into chaos after the collapse of the New Mandalorian government, near the end of the Clone Wars. She was raised in part on Mandalore but also considered Clan Wren's ancestral home of Krownest to be her homeworld. Trained from an early age in Mandalorian warrior culture, Wren forged her distinctive armor with her family, and also inherited her Nite OwlsSabine My Rebel Sketchbook helmet from someone whose identity she was reluctant to reveal. Her father, artist Alrich Wren, took Sabine to see the statue of Tarre Vizsla while her younger brother Tristan Wren was only an infant.
After the Clone Wars ended, the Galactic Empire established a presence on Mandalore and opened an Imperial Academy, which Wren attended as a Imperial cadet. As a youth, she believed in the Empire and, even as it put her through some "rough stuff," followed its orders blindly. During her time at the Academy, she studied the tactics of Twi'lek Resistance leader Cham Syndulla and Mandalorian Protector leader Fenn Rau during the Clone Wars. This would eventually put her at odds with the Imperial establishment there, and led to a nightmarish experience.
As a young and idealistic Imperial cadet, Sabine built an Arc Pulse Generator that she nicknamed the "Duchess," which reacted with the beskar alloy inside the Mandalorian armor, incinerating the armor and disintegrating their wearers. The weapon was regarded by many Mandalorians as an abomination because it turned their armor against them; Mandalorian armor held a sacrosanct place in Mandalorian culture since it was passed down from generation to generation. As Wren witnessed the Empire subjugating Mandalore, she was wracked with guilt at her own role in helping the Empire build the weapon used to oppress her people.
When she spoke out against the Empire, Sabine's mother, her father, and her brother sided with the Empire and was banished. Traumatized andThe Star Wars Book estranged from her family, Sabine escaped the Imperial Academy with the help of her friend, Ketsu Onyo, and deserted the Empire. Sabine's decision to renounce the Empire had serious ramifications for her family. Her father became a hostage of Viceroy Gar Saxon, the Emperor's Hand and the Imperial puppet ruler of Mandalore. Her mother Ursa was forced to prove her clan's loyalty to the Empire while her brother Tristan was forced to serve in Saxon's Imperial Super Commandos so that the family could remain in Saxon's favor. Before fleeing Mandalore, Sabine also destroyed her weapon. However, the Empire was able to use her research to build another arc pulse generator.
During her escape from Mandalore, Wren received no small amount of help from Wookiees, for which Wren felt she owed them a debt. Wren and Onyo then became bounty hunting partners; the two were like sisters, though Wren was the softer of the two. Together, they dreamed of joining the criminal organization Black Sun, all the while doing things just for money and caring only about themselves in an attempt to survive. During Wren's time as a bounty hunter, she developed a friendship with Black Sun member Ojo. However Ojo betrayed Black Sun, and Wren was forced to capture Ojo and turn him in. Ultimately, Wren and Onyo parted on bad terms due to Onyo getting "greedy" and leaving Wren for dead.
At some point, while on the run from an Imperial attempt to capture her after she had left the Academy, a man named Janard saved her life by knocking over a stack of freight containers to block the Imperials' path while she escaped. Eventually, the brutal Imperial crackdown on her homeworld and the consequent loss of her family pushed Wren into open rebellion.
===Rebellion on Lothal===
====Joining the crew====
By the age of 16, Wren was recruited to a rebel cell by the former Jedi Padawan Kanan Jarrus, whose members consisted of Jarrus himself, the Twi'lek captain Hera Syndulla, the astromech droid C1-10P "Chopper," and the Lasat warrior Garazeb Orrelios. The Spectres operated from the modified VCX-100 light freighter Ghost. Giving Wren a second chance in life, the Spectres regularly raided the Imperials for supplies which they distributed to the needy and sabotage missions.Star Wars Rebels: The Siege of Lothal Wren considered the Spectres to be like a family.
The Spectres began a series of raids on Imperial supply convoys to capture and deliver their cargo, beginning on Ryloth. Following the success at Ryloth, the Spectres then attacked Christophsis, Kashyyyk, and Toydaria. Wren suggested they resupply on the planet Lothal, where they once again attacked an Imperial shipment.Star Wars Rebels: Ghost Raid The Spectres continued their operations on Lothal. Wren also began using a personal journal, which she said was her seventh sketchbook in the past year because she would fill them up so quickly.
During her time in the Spectres, Wren and Orrelios attacked a shipment of interrogator droids, which they blew up with a paint bomb. Wren found the attack exciting, and was amused by the Empire's attempts to cover it up, since they claimed the attack was on Timely Tutor education droids. Wren included images of her attack, as well as excerpts from Imperial propaganda and her personal thoughts, within her sketchbook.
Wren and the Spectres later undertook a mission to contact an anti-Imperial fighter aboard an Auzituck anti-slaver gunship, after being told by Cikatro Vizago, however they discovered it had been left adrift in space following a fight. Wren blew open the door and they discovered it was abandoned. She commented on the artistic design of the ship's walls, which were made of wroshyr wood. Wren discovered Shyriiwook writing left by Kitwarr, son of Wullffwarro, and revealed to the Spectres that she could read various languages. They then encountered a Trandoshan enslaver, and discovered that the crew had been sold to the Empire. Wren then reported from Syndulla that Vizago was investigating the Wookiees, and they had a next job to pick up supplies on Lothal.Star Wars Rebels: The Rebellion Begins
On another such mission, Wren (whose codename was "Spectre 5") was tasked with creating a diversion that would allow the Ghost to escape. She infiltrated a TIE fighter landing platform in Lothal's Capital City and spray-painted graffiti of a violet starbird onto a TIE fighter wing. She was then noticed and hunted down by stormtrooper TK-626, his captain, and four others. Wren eventually detonated a paint bomb, creating a colorful explosion that left the stormtroopers stunned and splattered in blue paint, but alive, and strode off into the city amid grateful locals, an event that earned her the nickname "The Artist" among local stormtroopers. Wren, or an individual closely matching her description, was on Lothal's most-wanted list for wreaking havoc on an Imperial airfield.
====Wookiee rescue====
In their next mission to steal Imperial crates, Wren, Jarrus, and Orrelios went to the main square of Capital City where a group of stormtroopers led by Supply Master Cumberlayne Aresko were transferring several crates containing food and blasters to the Imperial Portal. At a hand signal given by Jarrus, Wren threw a hand grenade at one of the Imperials' 614-AvA speeder bikes, throwing them into disarray. Jarrus and Orrelios then took advantage of the chaos to ambush the Imperials, but a local pickpocket Ezra Bridger stole one of the speeders. Wren however stole back one of the crates and returned to the Ghost.
Accompanied by Bridger (who expressed a new-found fondness towards Wren, but she did not return his affection), the Ghost crew fended off a few TIE fighters and went to Tarkintown, where they distributed the stolen food crates; they also sold the stolen blasters to the Cikatro Vizago to obtain information about the location of an Imperial Gozanti-class cruiser ferrying several enslaved Wookiee prisoners. Subsequently, they commenced the mission and infiltrated the Gozanti, unaware that Imperial Security Bureau Agent Kallus had set a trap for them. He and several stormtroopers were hiding in the transport compartment, ready to apprehend the rebel boarders. After learning of this deception, Wren and Chopper disabled the ship's artificial gravity systems for two minutes, which temporarily slowed down Kallus and his stormtroopers and allowed for their escape, except Bridger, who was captured by Kallus and taken aboard his Imperial I-class Star Destroyer, Lawbringer. As the Ghost fled into hyperspace, Sabine detonated the thermal paintStar Wars Rebels: Droids in Distress she had left behind, destroying the Gozanti cruiser.
Upon realizing that Orrelios had left Bridger behind, the Ghost crew decided to rescue the boy, though by the time they arrived in the Star Destroyer's hangar bay, Bridger had escaped his cell and learnt that the Imperials were transporting the enslaved Wookiees to the spice mines of Kessel. Using the information, the Ghost traveled to Spice mine K76 and Wren assisted Jarrus and Orrelios in attacking the Wookiees' stormtrooper guards while Bridger freed the prisoners, a skirmish during which Jarrus revealed himself as a Great Jedi Purge survivor. Ultimately, they managed to liberate the Wookiees and escape in a shipping container that was ferried by the Ghost; later, they parted when the Wookiees boarded an Auzituck anti-slaver gunship. Yet, the rebels were joined by Bridger, who would train under Jarrus as a Jedi.
Bridger recorded his encounter with Spectres in his Rebel Journal, where he included images of them. In it, Bridger was impressed by Wren's skills and abilities, and after pondering topics of conversation, he decided he wanted to talk to Wren about his artwork.Rebel Journal by Ezra Bridger
====Garel theft====
Since the crew of the Ghost was running low on fuel and supplies, they decided to steal a weapons shipment from a spaceport on Garel to sell it to Vizago before it fell into the hands of the Empire. For the mission, all but Syndulla boarded Star Commuter 2000 shuttle ST-45 and arranged for Imperial Minister Maketh Tua to rely on Wren's translating skills in her negotiations with Aqualish arms dealer Amda Wabo, by preventing Tua's borrowed droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, from helping her. Wren offered her services as a translator and asked Wabo tell her the weapons' location in Bay 7, but deliberately mistranslated this as "Bay 17" in order to mislead Tua. After disembarking, Wren and the crew headed to Bay 7 where they discovered that the shipment was an T-7 ion disruptor rifles.
Before the rebels could finish loading the contraband weapons onto the Ghost, piloted by Syndulla, they were confronted by Tua and several stormtroopers. They were accompanied by C-3PO and R2-D2, who during the confrontation stowed away in the Ghost; unbeknownst to the rebels, the two droids were on a secret mission to prevent the Imperials from taking the weapons. Returning to Lothal, the rebels attempted to sell the rifles to Vizago, but before they could complete the transaction, the two parties were interrupted by the arrival of Kallus, two AT-DP walkers and several stormtroopers. While Vizago fled, Jarrus refused to let the weapons fall into Imperial hands and ordered Wren to destroy them; she, at R2-D2's suggestion, overloaded the disruptors and fired them at the stormtroopers instead. Yet, forced to escape, they left on the Ghost, after which they returned the stowaway droids to their owner, Bail Organa. He never identified himself but rewarded the rebels for returning them.
Sometime later, while Bridger was running down Chopper in the halls of the ship, he stopped by Wren's room to offer her some "inspiration" for her artwork although she did not express any interest. Soon afterward, she was inspired by Chopper's prank to Orrelios and Bridger (who were gone on a mission to the Lothal market) and made a graffiti of it in their quarters, much to their embarrassment.
====Ring Race====
Following a raid on an Imperial supply yard, the crew was in need of parts to repair the Ghost and so, went to Osisis Station in the Regani sector. Hoping to obtain the parts from long-time-"associate" Galus Vez's black market operation, the team met with the Besalisk, but as the Empire had been doubling their inspections since their last visit, he refused to the transaction and challenged Syndulla to a race in Fool's Run. Although she won, Vez tried to retaliate by handing them over to the Empire. However, on Jarrus' orders, Wren and Orrelios took out one of Vez's cargo ships and placed explosives on another two. Threatened into cooperation, Vez gave the parts to the rebels and the Ghost departed after Wren managed to leave a starbird graffiti stencil in the station's outer hull.
====Stygeon Prime====
Following a HoloNet transmission from Senator-in-exile Gall Trayvis that announced that Jedi Master Luminara Unduli was still alive but imprisoned at the Spire, Jarrus decided to mount a rescue mission for Unduli and told the crew to prepare for the operation. Wren, for her part, studied the schematics of the Spire, and while en route to the Stygeon system, explained that the prison was impregnable and that they had never faced anything as secure as the Spire's defenses. Despite the odds, the rebels continued on their way to Stygeon Prime and left Chopper to look after the Ghost in orbit, whereas the rest descended on the Phantom. Upon arriving, Wren and her comrades landed on the prison's landing platform and overpowered four stormtroopers who were guarding the facility's entrance, while Syndulla awaited aboard the Phantom.
After entering the prison, Wren accessed a computer and discovered that Unduli was held in an isolation cell in the Spire's lower levels, which contradicted her schematics. Jarrus then devised a backup plan in which Wren and Orrelios were to guard the turbolift while he and Bridger ventured to Unduli's cell. Meanwhile, Wren discovered that the Empire was jamming their signal and quickly deduced that they had stumbled into a trap and decided to find another escape route, disabling the lifts along the way to slow down Imperial reinforcements. While fleeing through the complex, Wren and Orrelios encountered Jarrus and Bridger, who were fleeing the Grand Inquisitor.
After dodging several closing blast doors, the four entered an empty hangar bay, where Bridger and Jarrus used the Force to open the hangar's outer doors. However, they encountered numerous stormtroopers and parked TIE fighters waiting for them on the other side. During the ensuing skirmish, Syndulla arrived in the Phantom accompanied by a large swarm of tibidees. With the Inquisitor and his troops preoccupied, Wren and her comrades managed to escape into hyperspace.
Later, while Orrelios and Jarrus were away to destroy on a mission an Imperial transmission center with the Phantom, Wren, Syndulla, Chopper, and Bridger remained on the Ghost. However, an Imperial showed up and attacked them, prompting the rebels to defend themselves and Syndulla to enter an ion storm to lose them. Manning the nose turret, Wren destroyed two TIE fighters before the storm took the Ghost systems down. In the ensuing repairs, Wren fixed the targeting systems and when Bridger was done with his part, she was able to destroy a Gozanti cruiser, and the Ghost was able to escape the storm and rendezvous with Orrelios and Jarrus.
Later on, during a mission to destroy a massive kyber crystal, Wren, along with Orrelios and Chopper, kept a watch over Bridger while he infiltrated Lothal's Academy for Young Imperials to steal a decoder containing the shipment's location. While Chopper infiltrated the Academy disguised as an Imperial astromech droid, Wren and Orrelios waited outside the Academy to evacuate Bridger once he had accomplished his mission. When he managed to secure the decoder with the assistance of fellow cadet Zare Leonis, Bridger passed the device to Chopper who then gave it to Wren; she, in turn, transmitted the crystal's coordinates to Jarrus and Syndulla, who then intercepted and destroyed the Imperial convoy transporting the crystal. Wren then made arrangements to pass it to Leonis' friend Merei Spanjaf, who needed it to hack into the Imperial data network to find Leonis' sister, Dhara.Servants of the Empire: Rebel in the Ranks Afterwards, as requested by Bridger, Wren and Orrelios staged a diversionary attack on the Academy the following day so that he could escape with Jai Kell. As planned, Wren and Orrelios attacked the academy, allowing Bridger and Kell to reunite with them and, together, return to the Ghost.
After a skirmish with TIE fighters, Jarrus was forced to land on the planet Vyndal. Jarrus spoke to himself about wanting to show Sabine the colorful landscape before passing out.
====Fort Anaxes====
During the course of a mission provided by Syndulla's mysterious contact "Fulcrum," Wren, along with Bridger and Syndulla, were on the Phantom when it was attacked by several TIE fighters. Distrustful of the reliability of Fulcrum's intel, Wren questioned Syndulla for more information about her source, leading to a rift between the two. Not content with being kept in the dark, Wren interrupted Jarrus and Syndulla's conversation in the Ghost cockpit; Jarrus, however, told her that he trusted "Fulcrum" because Syndulla trusted in her contact, prompting Wren to accompany Syndulla on a supply run to Fort Anaxes at the Anaxes asteroid belt, where they were supposed to meet "Fulcrum."
As the two departed on the VCX-series auxiliary starfighter and landed on PM-1203, they found the crates ready for them to transport and no sign of "Fulcrum," and Wren apologized to Syndulla for her attitude, explaining that she simply wanted to be trusted by Syndulla and Jarrus and that she was not walking into another nightmare as the one she had experienced at the Imperial Academy. Syndulla assured Wren that they did trust her and, following rebel protocol, simply asked her to have faith. Before Wren could answer, the two were attacked by fyrnocks. After deducing the creatures could not tolerate light, they loaded all the supplies onto the Phantom and tried to take off, only to find that Bridger, Orrelios, and Chopper had not finished the shuttle's fuel tank repairs, leaving them stranded.
After Syndulla contacted the rest of the crew for help, Wren devised a plan to use rhydonium explosives to keep at bay the creatures should the sunlight disappear. However, they quickly ran out of explosives and, when they were cornered and forced to get atop the Phantom, the Ghost came to their rescue. Once safely aboard the freighter, Syndulla assured Wren that she trusted her and promised she would eventually understand the cause they were fighting for, and Wren to try and trust her.
====Empire Day====
On Empire Day, Wren and her comrades visited Old Jho's Pit Stop, where they learned that the Empire had launched a manhunt for a Rodian, and where Jarrus decided to sabotage the Empire Day celebrations in Capital City. Though Bridger refused, Wren and the rest of the team went to the Imperial parade. During the operation, Wren and Orrelios distracted the crowd and Imperial personnel by throwing fireworks into the sky, while Jarrus planted a detonator on the newly unveiled TIE Advanced v1 prototype on display. Following the explosion, the rebels escaped, but as Syndulla could not extract them with the Ghost, Wren and Jarrus followed Bridger to his old residence, while Orrelios rendezvoused with Syndulla. At Bridger's family home, however, they found the fugitive Rodian, Tseebo, who had once been a friend of Bridger's missing parents.
Wren then noticed that Tseebo was wearing an AJ^6 cybernetic implant and learned that it carried invaluable information on Imperial Military secrets. She also took a holodisk that Bridger has left, before Jarrus decided to smuggle the Rodian off Lothal. Together, Wren and Jarrus stole an Imperial Troop Transport. Wren drove the transport through the city's main gate in spite of the Imperial lockdown (and Kallus' intervention) and until they were extracted by Syndulla in the Ghost. However, the freighter was soon attacked by the Grand Inquisitor's TIE squadron, an attack during which Wren and Bridger learned that Tseebo knew the fate of his parents, and that the Inquisitor had placed an XX-23 S-thread tracker on the Phantom. Jarrus then decided to use the Phantom and lure the Inquisitor to Fort Anaxes, in Bridger's company.
Before they left for the asteroid, Wren tried to convince him to talk to Tseebo about his parents, but as he declined out of resentment towards Tseebo, Wren opted to repair the holodisk while he was away. As the waited for their return, Wren and Orrelios stayed aboard the Ghost while Syndulla and Tseebo boarded Fulcrum's corvette that would take him into hiding. After Bridger and Jarrus returned from Anaxes, Wren gave the boy the holodisk (which contained a picture of his parents, Ephraim and Mira, and him) she had salvaged from his home as a birthday present.
Following these events, Wren filled up her sketchbook and said it was time to start a new one.
====Zygerrian enslavers====
During a mission to swipe the Lothal Academy's new recruits, Wren heard about a slavery trading operation on Oon and, after leaving a graffiti calling card so that the rest of the crew knew where she was, let herself be captured for a self-imposed mission. Wren put little resistance, but her spirit earned her the recommendation of the captor to his employer, MaDall; taking the suggestion, the Zygerrian made of Wren her personal slave and outfitted her with a shock collar. That night, while MaDall was asleep, Wren sneaked away to reconnoiter the location, but an enslaver captured and returned her to MaDall. While her master was again asleep, Wren made a painting of the Zygerrian woman, deactivated her collar and saw that her attempts had inspired a rebellion among the enslaved. Wren then engaged in a electro-whip duel with MaDall and defeated her, after which she waited for the Ghost to arrive. Agreeing to relocate the freed individuals, Jarrus and Syndulla let MaDall free, and Wren suggested her that she could fight against the Empire.
On Lothal, Bridger explored a cave system to practice his training, and was ambushed by bounty hunters Fissol and Gowski. Wren was loading cargo on the Ghost with Orrelios and Syndulla, when Jarrus questioned the three as to Bridger's whereabouts. Jarrus rescued Bridger and tricked the hunters to leave Lothal.
====Kaller====
Contacted by "Fulcrum," the Ghost crew was to pick up supplies on Kaller, where crates were ready and waiting for them, for the Tarkintown refugees.Kanan 1 Wren and the team arrived at the coordinates where the crates had been waiting for them but found them empty. Furthermore, the provincial governor, Gamut Key, and his constabularies arrived at the scene, for they had received a tip that smugglers were using the area as a drop point and demanded that they let him search the ship. With nothing to hide, Syndulla allowed them; before long, Key and his men left them to their devices. Instead of leaving empty-handed, the team decided to track the shipment themselves. Once they reached Plateau City, Jarrus decided to split the team up to cover more ground, and Wren went to search with Orrelios.Kanan 6
Eventually, Wren and the others learned from Chopper that Jarrus had been stabbed in the back and had passed out from blood loss, and quickly moved him to a medcenter where he was put into a bacta tank. As they waited for him to regain consciousness,Kanan 7 Imperial forces surrounded the medical facility and demanded that the rebels surrender,Kanan 8Kanan 9 and later, erupted into the building. Protecting Jarrus, they fought the stormtroopers even as they threatened to overwhelm them.Kanan 10 Although they were briefly detained, Jarrus recovered and fought off the troopers,Kanan 11 allowing the Spectres to escape.Kanan 12
Sometime later, Bridger showed Wren the TIE fighter that he and Orrelios had stolen. While she gave it a paint job, their activity delayed Bridger in his Jedi lesson with Jarrus. After their venture to a Jedi Temple, Bridger began to build his own lightsaber; for its construction, Wren supplied him modulation circuits and an energy gate, and was present when he ignited the lightsaber for the first time.
====Sabotaged Supplies====
During a relief mission for Tarkintown, Wren and the rebels delivered several crates of foodstuff to the settlers; unbeknownst to them, the food had been poisoned by Kallus, prompting those who had eaten to become ill, among them Mindiz, for whom Orrelios had a soft spot. Although they were planning to obtain the medicine from Capital City, Orrelios left on his own and prompted Wren and the others to go help him at a medical facility. After obtaining a antidote for the Tarkintown settlers, they found Orrelios at Kallus' mercy, they intervened and engaged in a firefight with the Imperials. After retreating aboard the Ghost, they distributed the medicine and saved the settlers, including Mindiz.
====Calrissian's gamble====
After Orrelios (with Jarrus' permission) bet Chopper and lost him to Lando Calrissian in a game of sabacc, Jarrus brought Calrissian to the Ghost as he had agreed to a deal: in exchange of smuggling some cargo past the Lothal Imperial blockade, Calrissian would pay the team and return the droid. Although Syndulla was furious over the arrangement, she nonetheless agreed to the offer. As they departed Lothal and were in hyperspace, Calrissian spotted some of Wren's art painted inside the ship and mentioned his familiarity with the artist Janyor of Bith, who happened to be one of Wren's favorite artists. Wren, pleased that her art was both appreciated and understood for a change, offered to show him more of her art.
After the Ghost docked with Merchant One and Syndulla traded herself as a slave to crime lord Azmorigan according to Calrissian's plan, they obtained Calrissian's cargo. The smuggler and Wren welcomed Syndulla when she returned to the Ghost in one of the Merchant escape pods, and then went to see what Calrissian's cargo was—a puffer pig—, only to find that Orrelios had scared the creature. The pig had inflated to more than three times its normal size, blocking their way to the cockpit, and forced Jarrus to pilot through the blockade and land near Calrissian's estate. However, the Ghost crew and Calrissian were surprised to find a resentful Azmorigan and his men waiting for them. In the ensuing skirmish, the rebels managed to scare Azmorigan off. The rebels, in turn, left Calrissian when it seemed he would not pay them; yet, it was because he knew that Chopper had taken a fuel canister from him.
====Deception====
Wren, along with Orrelios and Chopper, took part in one of Bridger's Jedi training sessions, so that he learned to redirect blaster fire at a specific target; instead, he had a vision of them fighting alongside Senator-in-exile Gall Trayvis. Following the training session, the Ghost crew received a transmission from Trayvis telling them to meet at the Lothal Lothal City Capitol Building. After Bridger confirmed an Imperial operation with his friend Zare Leonis, Wren and her comrades decided to sneak into the building through the sewers in order to warn Trayvis. Per Jarrus' orders, Wren and Orrelios went to the rooftop to provide cover fire to Syndulla, Jarrus, and Bridger's meeting with Trayvis.
Yet, during the meeting, they were ambushed by Kallus' forces, prompting Wren and Orrelios to activate smoke bombs to cover their escape, with Wren throwing a thermal detonator once they did. To evade their Imperial pursuers and protect Trayvis, they fled down the sewers and split into two groups: Wren traveled with Orrelios and Jarrus to provide a distraction to their pursuers, while Bridger and Syndulla accompanied the fugitive senator, who revealed his loyalty to the Empire and attempted to kill Bridger and Syndulla. Once he was overpowered by her, the rebels met up and managed to exit the sewers after Jarrus used the Force to temporarily stop a large circular fan. After reuniting with Chopper at the manhole, they fled back to the Ghost.
Sometime afterward, a Clawdite seeking to collect the bounty that the Empire had put on their heads infiltrated the Ghost. After Chopper was attacked, the intruder knocked Wren out and impersonated her, but when the crew discovered the real Wren, the Clawdite started a firefight and changed her appearance to that of Bridger's until Orrelios attacked it. Ultimately, it was Bridger who stunned the impersonator, whom the crew dropped on a moon and left.
Later on, Wren and Chopper intruded into the Lothal Imperial Academy to destroy a weapons cache. Hacking the academy's security system to get the access code, the two got past the main door, but Chopper forgot to zap one of three guards, letting the third to set off the alarm. During the pursuit, Wren and Chopper made the "escape through the lift hatch" trick and made their way into the main weapons area. As she proceeded to plant the charges, she was surprised by Dunum, who held her at gunpoint until he was stunned by a probe droid, betrayed by fellow Imperials, Aresko and Myles Grint. Wren then finished with the charges and, after Chopper made a hole in the wall, she sent the pick-up signal to Orrelios, who extracted them on a X-34 landspeeder. She then detonated the charges, damaging the Imperial Complex.
====Tarkin arrives====
Not too long after, Wren participated in a raid near Jalath with Bridger and Jarrus. Successful in their endeavor, they returned to the Ghost to find that Senator Trayvis had publicly declared his loyalties to the Empire and had condemned them as terrorists in the HoloNet. To counter his claims, Jarrus decided to transmit their own message to the people of Lothal and tell the truth about the Empire. After Wren, Bridger, and Jarrus went to Imperial Command Center for some reconnaissance, a dwarf probe droid caught glimpse of them alerting Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin of their presence. Unaware of the trap, the rebels continued with their mission, and Wren prepared a data spike for Chopper to upload it into the tower's computer core. During the operation itself, she distracted the stormtroopers thereby ramming her Undicur-class jumpspeeder into a gun turret while Orrelios hijacked the other one to destroy the last remaining turret, enabling Jarrus and Bridger to bring Chopper as Wren eliminated the remaining troopers inside the tower.
Once he installed the spike, Wren worked to have the transmitter operational, just as Imperial reinforcements arrived. Once she got a signal, Jarrus ordered them all to take the tower's lift to meet Syndulla on the Phantom at the top. On Jarrus' orders, they were forced to leave without him and return to the Ghost, from where Bridger was the one to give their message to Lothal and the surrounding systems before the tower was destroyed by Tarkin. Distressed by Jarrus' capture, the next day, they vowed to rescue him and hijacked an AT-DP walker on patrol in an attempt to hack into the Imperial data network to find his location, only to find that the network was down.
Once they retreated to the Ghost, Syndulla received word from "Fulcrum" that they were to stop their search for Jarrus for the greater good of the rebellion, and in turn, forbade her crew from continuing the effort. However, Wren, Chopper, and Orrelios Bridger disobeyed her collaborated so that Bridger could make a deal with Cikatro Vizago: the Devaronian told him that the Imperials were using courier droids due to the communication tower's destruction. Though Syndulla discovered their ruse, she was convinced with Bridger's plan to use Chopper to infiltrate an Imperial communications ship and obtain Jarrus' location. For the mission, Wren disguised Chopper as an Imperial courier with a paint job and, along with Orrelios, abducted 264 so that Chopper could take his place. Their mission a success, they learned that Jarrus was to be transported to the Mustafar system aboard the Sovereign.
Subsequently, Wren and her comrades stole Transport Ship 63378 so that they could get close to the Imperial fleet over Mustafar. For the operation, Wren also outfitted Bridger and Orrelios' stolen TIE fighter with EMP grenades to disable the Sovereign with a pulse detonation. Leaving Chopper to guard their stolen cruiser, Wren and the rest boarded the Star Destroyer and made their way to Jarrus' cell, until they were forced to separate with Bridger going alone to free Jarrus from his cell. Meanwhile, Wren had the idea to use their TIE fighter to escape, just as the Sovereign destruction started due to its power core being destroyed in the aftermath of Jarrus' duel with the now-dead Grand Inquisitor. Soon joined by Jarrus and Bridger in the Inquisitor's TIE Advanced, the team escaped the derelict vessel, only to be pursued by a swarm of TIE fighters. They were only saved when Chopper arrived with the Phoenix Squadron. Docking their TIEs with Chopper's ship, they made the jump into hyperspace and returned to the Ghost, where Wren and her comrades learned from Syndulla that they were part of a larger rebellion and Fulcrum's identity as Ahsoka Tano.
Following these events, Jarrus created a holorecord that described how Wren and the Spectres got involved in the larger Rebellion.Star Wars Rebels: The Ultimate Guide These events was also recorded by Tano in The Rebel Files, a collection of documents that archived the history of the rebellion, which featured a surveillance image of the Spectres. It would continue to document their campaigns.Star Wars: The Rebel Files
===The larger rebellion===
====Area Null====
Later on, Wren, along with Orrelios and Bridger, participated in a mission to rescue Zare Leonis. Earlier, the crew of the Ghost had picked up Zare's girlfriend Merei Spanjaf, her parents Gandr and Jessa, Leonis' parents Leo and Tepha, and their nanny droid Auntie Nags at the edge of the Garel system as part of an arrangement with the Ithorian tavern keeper Old Jho to deliver them into hiding. After Merei discovered that Leonis had been exposed as a traitor and was facing trial, she successfully convinced Sabine and her two rebel companions to help rescue Leonis.Servants of the Empire: The Secret Academy
Without seeking Syndulla's permission, Wren and her companions traveled with Spanjaf and Jessa to the planet Arkanis. They landed on the roof of Area Null, a secret Imperial facility that was connected to the Arkanis Imperial Academy. Making their way downstairs, Sabine and her companions encountered Zare and another prisoner named Beck Ollet, who had already managed to free themselves and were planning to rescue Zare's sister Dhara, who was also held in Area Null. Wren and Orrelios took Jessa down to the main computer node to lock Imperial reinforcements out of the facility and the elevators. Wren instructed Spanjaf to slice into Area Null's network and find Dhara. The rescue mission was a success. Wren and her companions' reunited both Zare and Dhara with their parents escaping back to Garel before TIE fighters arrived.
====Camson and Quila====
Sometime later, after stealing food from an Imperial vessel and Thrad Senator Nadea Tural's rescue by Syndulla, her presence aboard the Ghost attracted Imperial attention before long. Following an effective attack by TIE fighters that took out the Ghost shields and hyperdrive, they were promptly boarded by Commander Earll's forces, who intended to retrieve Senator Tural. During the skirmish, Wren and Orrelios were stunned, leaving Jarrus and Bridger to clear the ship from troopers after Tural's intervention, and Syndulla to make the escape to Camson, where they parted ways with Tural.
When Wren was informed that her old friend Janard, who had given her intel on Imperial activity every now and then, had been captured by the Empire, she set out to rescue him as she felt she owed him and was willing to do anything to save him. Accompanied by Syndulla and Tano, they managed to locate Janard's transport on the aquatic planet of Quila. Hit by an asteroid, the cruiser had crash-landed and sent a distress signal that they followed. While Syndulla remained on the Ghost, Wren and Tano changed into sub-aquatic gear and dived in to enter the sinking Imperial vessel. Once inside, they tried to reach the detention cells through the wreckage, when an eel attacked Wren and disconnected her oxygen tubes. Tano saved her and shared some of hers before going to the empty cells. Refusing to give up, Wren continued their search in the non-inundated areas and eventually found Janard. After their reunion, the three went to the bridge, only to find Imperial opposition. In the skirmish, Janard was shot by a stormtrooper and died in Wren's arms, as he told her to carry on fighting the Empire. As they got out of the sinking vessel, Syndulla picked them up and went to reunite with the fleet.
====Scum and Villainy====
At some point, Kallus told Imperial Security Bureau agent Andressa Divo his desire to capture Wren. Divo discovered Wren's connection with Ketsu Onyo, and forwarded her notes on Onyo to Kallus, suggesting that he could try making the two turn on each other.
====Siege of Lothal====
Upon joining Commander Jun Sato's Phoenix Squadron and after a while of not returning to Lothal, Wren and her comrades took part in a mission to steal shield generators from an Imperial convoy. During the skirmish, Wren manned the Phantom and used its armament to liberate the supplies from one of the Imperial vessels so that Syndulla could secure them, after which Wren docked the Phantom in the Ghost. Once away from danger, the Ghost crew took on another mission: to extract the defecting Minister Maketh Tua in exchange for Imperial secrets. Wren and her comrades departed for Lothal aboard a Star Commuter 2000 to avoid detection and, leaving Orrelios and Chopper to guard the transport, the rebels went to rendezvous with Tua before she boarded the Sentinel-class landing craft that would take her to Tarkin.
However, Kallus had set up a trap for them, by rigging the Minister's shuttle to explode once she entered, and laid the blame of Tua's death on the rebels. With the failure of their mission (and their shuttle being disabled by an AT-DP walker), the Ghost crew was forced to retreat into hiding in Bridger's former residence. When it, too, was attacked, they deduced the Imperial Complex's forces were stretched thin due to the manhunt and infiltrated its Armory. After Wren noticed unguarded 49-v99 Deflectors, they were in the process of loading them to a vacant shuttle when they were accosted by Darth Vader. Through a team effort, they managed to knock down two walkers over him, but as he survived unscathed, Wren tried to earn Jarrus and Bridger time to board their stolen shuttle, and took two shots at the Dark Lord of the Sith with her pistols, but he deflected them back to her.
As her armor shielded her from the blaster bolts, they escaped aboard the shuttle (which unbeknownst to them, had a tracking device implanted) and contacted Calrissian for assistance. He agreed in exchange for half their shield generators and had W1-LE assist in their escape arrangements. At his estate, Wren programmed several masking transponders to replicate their stolen shuttle's signal; with them, they passed through the blockade safely (a journey during which the crew decided to support the wider rebellion) and rendezvoused with the Phoenix fleet. However, Vader alone attacked with his TIE Advanced, causing extensive damage to Phoenix Squadron and the Phoenix Home. With the fleet defeated and Lothal under siege, the Phoenix fleet and the Ghost chose to use Garel temporarily as its new base of operations, using multiple spaceports to hide their ships.
====Seelos====
Following the incident, Wren dyed her hair once again and gave her armor a new paint job. For its part, the Rebel network faced a shortage of bases and facilities, and so, Ahsoka Tano sent the Ghost crew to meet with an old friend of hers, who might know where to find such bases, on Seelos. Upon arriving in the Seelos system, Syndulla and Chopper stayed behind on the Ghost to repair the ship, while the others approached Tano's friend with the Phantom in the desert below. Using the head of an old tactical droid, they located him in an antiquated AT-TE walker and discovered that Tano's friend, Captain Rex, and his companions Wolffe and Gregor, were veteran clone troopers. Though Rex refused to Bridger's urging to join the fight against the Empire, he agreed to put together a list of coordinates of bases and facilities for the rebellion. Meanwhile, with the Phantom parked on the AT-TE, Gregor convinced them to help them in a joopa hunt, and through a team effort during which Wren kept the regulator's line working, they captured "Big Bongo."
Staying for dinner, Rex left Wren record the list of potential bases and other potentially useful intel in data-tapes from their main computer; instead, she discovered that Wolffe (trying to protect his brothers from the Empire) had secretly alerted the Empire to their presence. An Imperial probe droid also damaged the Phantom before it was destroyed by Rex, but the Empire already knew their location. Wren promptly worked to repair their ship's damaged engines but only had it ready when All Terrain Armored Transports closed in on them, where they could shut the Phantom down, forcing them to stay a bit longer and to enter the oncoming sandstorm inside the AT-TE. Using the Force, Jarrus led them through the storm, while Bridger shot an AT-AT at its weak point; then, they escaped the storm and were to abandon the clones. However, Jarrus gave in and they saved the clones from the two remaining AT-ATs before Syndulla arrived with the Ghost. Ultimately, Rex decided to join the rebellion and they together went to the Phoenix fleet, where Rex reunited with Tano.
====New Inquisitors====
Sometime later, during one of Bridger's lessons, Wren and Chopper connived to play a prank on him by locking Chopper's feet to the Ghost metallic floor. The prank, however, sparked another of Jarrus and Rex's all-too-common-by-then discussions. At the same time, Syndulla assigned Wren, Orrelios, and Chopper on a mission to salvage medical supplies from an abandoned Republic medical station. They were joined by Bridger, who was trying to avoid Jarrus and Rex, and together the four traveled to the station in the Phantom. Once inside, they made it to the command center, where Wren ordered to restart a control panel, but the droid instead jump-started the whole station—unwittingly making their presence be detected by the nearby Relentless. Once Chopper corrected his mistake, Wren accessed the station's database but found it corrupted. Leaving Chopper to repair it, Wren, Orrelios, and Bridger searched for the medical supplies.
When Chopper was attacked, Wren and Bridger used the ventilation shafts to help him, yet also leaving Orrelios behind. Instead of the astromech, they lured into a trap by the Seventh Sister and one of her ID9 seeker droids. Though they tried to run away from her, the Fifth Brother intervened, and ultimately, Wren was separated from Bridger when he closed a blast door with his lightsaber and was subsequently captured by the Seventh Sister. Wren then went to meet Orrelios, only for the Fifth Brother to go to their encounter and to turn Wren's explosives against them. In the explosion, the two were separated and the Brother took the unconscious Wren to where the Sister was interrogating Bridger; there, both Wren and Bridger refused to give away the fleet or Jarrus' location.
Pretending to be "Commander Meiloorun," Orrelios then contacted them on the comlink, and Wren refused his help only for the Brother to threaten to behead her with his lightsaber, prompting Bridger to accept his help. Told to meet at Bay 5 by the Lasat, the four made their way to the indicated hangar where Orrelios (who had found the supplies and was in Chopper's company) had secured the Phantom to the roof and detached it to fire upon the inquisitors. With the two distracted, Wren and Bridger entered the Phantom. They were about to leave but the Inquisitors kept the ship from leaving by use of the Force, and so, Wren began to shoot them forcing the Brother to release the grip to protect himself. Unable to hold them alone, the Sister was forced to let go and the rebels escaped. Once they returned to the Ghost, they informed Jarrus of their encounter but also delivered their report to Commander Sato.
Later on, while they hid in Garel, Wren and the rest of the crew (with the exception of Bridger and Chopper) participated in a mission to find fuel cells to deliver to the people of ice world of Rinn, who were experiencing an energy crisis.
====Imperial Heist====
At some point, Wren and the rest of the Spectres undertook a heist to steal from an Imperial base. When planning to escape, Wren pointed out the All Terrain Defense Pod walkers, which were then commandeered to battle against the Imperial forces.
====Shantipole====
Upon the first, but failed attempt of Phoenix Squadron and the Ghost to break the blockade of Ibaar and deliver relief supplies to the starving people in the planet below—plus the loss of Phoenix leader and a transport ship—, Rex suggested that they made contact with Quarrie. However, the Mon Calamari engineer, rumored to have developed a prototype starfighter, would only discuss the ship in person, on Shantipole. For the mission, Wren and Orrelios accompanied Syndulla on the Phantom, while Jarrus, Bridger, and Chopper used the Ghost to pick up the supplies for the second attempt to break the blockade. Upon surviving the Phantom crash-landing on Shantipole, the three met Quarrie; he showed them Prototype B6, also called the "Blade Wing." While Wren and Orrelios were initially skeptical of the Blade Wing's effectiveness, they were mollified when Syndulla completed her test flight.
Jarrus then contacted them to inform them that the blockade run had started, and Syndulla resolved to depart for Ibaar immediately. Wren, however, notified that the Blade Wing's energy drain from the multi-cannon firing system had killed the hyperdrive; however, they found a way around the problem when Quarrie revealed that he had his assistant, BG-81, modify the Phantom to include a hyperdrive system. Using the Phantom to tow the Blade Wing to the blockade run, Wren accompanied Syndulla as her gunner. As they flew ahead of Phoenix Squadron and, once in sight of a target, Wren fired the Prototype B6's multi-cannon, instantly destroying one of the Imperial Arquitens-class light cruisers, and clearing the path for the Ghost to deliver its relief supplies to the Ibaarians. After their rendezvous with the crew, Sato, and Quarrie, Wren was present when Syndulla was promoted to Phoenix Leader and saluted her.
====Garel reunion====
Syndulla assigned Wren to a mission of her own: to pick up a courier with important information at Garel City's spaceport and transport him to Havoc Outpost. With Bridger and Chopper as a backup, they were told that the courier would respond to code phrase "It's a long way to Alderaan." Along the way, Wren noticed a familiar symbol scribbled on a nearby wall, Ketsu Onyo's calling card, and quickly deduced that Onyo was in the area. For the next few hours, Wren and Bridger greeted disembarking passengers with the phrase to no avail, until a GNK-series power droid called EG-86 responded to it. Before they could proceed, Onyo revealed herself and attempted to collect EG-86 for Black Sun but Wren refused to let Onyo have her way. Interrupted by stormtroopers, the rebels evacuated EG-86 onto a nearby GX1 short hauler while Ketsu was busy attacking the troopers.
During the take-off, after shutting down the hauler's pilot droid, they were separated from Bridger while Onyo pursued them on her ship, the Shadow Caster. Onyo then damaged their hauler's hyperdrive and blasted open their side door and Chopper was sucked into space before Wren sealed the hatch. Wren was then contacted by Onyo, who demanded that Wren surrender the power droid or she would blast the shuttle to pieces. Seeing as Chopper was disabling her ship's weapons array from outside, Wren distracted Onyo by talking; she derided her own desire to join Black Sun, which she now knew were enslavers and assassins who only cared about profits and body counts. Nevertheless, Onyo fired to find it disabled, and Wren tried to catch Chopper and fly away until she realized Onyo had captured Chopper with the Caster tractor beam projector.
Unable to leave him behind, Wren offered to make a trade and agreed to dock their ships. However, Wren told EG-86 to remain in the hauler while she spoke to Onyo. Realizing that Wren would not give up EG-86, Onyo offered to share her cut for it, but Wren asserted that she no longer did things just for money. In a leap of faith, Wren forgave Onyo for betraying her and claimed she still trusted in her, trying to give her "sister" a second chance in life. Before Onyo could answer, an Imperial vessel announced that they were to board her stolen shuttle; forced to put aside their differences and to work together, they observed that it seemed they were friends once again.
Unable to escape, Wren had Chopper overload the hauler's hyperdrive and then go to the Caster to prepare to disengage the docking tube on her signal. Using Onyo's armory of explosives, Wren rigged the shuttle to explode and told the shuttle's pilot droid to exercise emergency protocol and powered up the ship's thrusters. However, the Imperial vessel was aware of this and shot at the shuttle, damaging the tube and knocking Wren unconscious. As the pilot droid attempted to leave, Onyo saved Wren and helped her aboard the Caster. Once inside, Chopper disconnected the two ships and was about to leave when the Imperial cruiser used their tractor beams to impede their escape. It also dragged the shuttle and so, its explosion damaged the cruiser and enabled the Shadow Caster to slip away. Together, Wren and Onyo delivered EG-86 to R2-D2 to Havoc Outpost and returned to Garel, where they were greeted by Syndulla and Bridger; before parting ways, Wren thanked Onyo for saving her life and told her that she was welcome to join the Rebellion.
Onyo was later hired to capture Jarret, a former Black Sun enforcer who abandoned his life to become a farmer. However, Onyo was reminded of her encounter with Sabine, and chose to give Jarret a second chance just as Sabine had given her.
Upon the Liberator capture in the Del Zennis system by Brom Titus' Imperial Interdictor, Wren recalled that during her Academy days she had learned that the Empire was developing a new cruiser with gravity well projectors that were capable of pulling ships out of hyperspace. As Jarrus and Rex were to carry out the rescue mission for Sato, Bridger and the rest of the crew, Wren was inspired to paint a new stencil of the two working together in the Sentinel-class shuttle they would use to infiltrate the Interdictor.
====Escaping Garel====
Sabine later fought in a battle, during which Orrelios used his strength to hold open a blast door to help the Spectres escape.
Wren was monitoring Imperial transmissions when she received intelligence that the Imperial fleet blockading Lothal had left its orbit for unknown purposes; Bridger, who had just experienced a vision of his parents, interpreted it as a sign that they had to return to his homeworld immediately. Willing to accompany him, they ordered Orrelios and Chopper to return to the Ghost from their supply run, when Wren realized that the Empire had pulled its patrols back in its preparations for a major strike: a battle against the rebel presence on Garel. Upon Orrelios and Chopper's return, the Ghost took to the skies of Garel, where before they could escape, the Liberator was trapped by the Relentless tractor beam. While Jarrus, Bridger, and Chopper departed on the Phantom for Lothal, Wren, Syndulla, and Orrelios remained to help the fleet's command ship. On Wren's idea, they tried to use the torpedoes to disable the tractor beam, but the intervention of a TIE fighter damaged the weapons systems. Instead, Syndulla freed the Liberator by ramming the side of the Ghost on the tractor beam to disable it.
====Return to Lothal====
Sometime later they received word that Senator Organa was sending reinforcements to Lothal with his agent and daughter, Princess Leia Organa. They set out to meet them and rescued her, Jarrus, Bridger, Chopper, as well as Lothal ex-governor Ryder Azadi from an Imperial altercation. Once away from the skirmish, Wren and Orrelios were told of the fate of Bridger's parents and gave their condolences to the boy, Wren telling her friend that he at least he now knew when had happened. However, they immediately set out to steal Organa's ships, three Sphyrna-class Hammerhead corvettes: while Organa, Jarrus, and Bridger (the latter disguised as stormtrooper and cadet) distracted Lieutenant Yogar Lyste, Wren, Azadi, and Chopper unlocked the gravity locks that kept Organa's ships in Imperial custody.
During the operation, they deactivated the first device and Wren boarded the freed corvette, only to depart to Lothal and reunite with the rest of the fleet. The two other ones, piloted by Jarrus and Azadi, and the Ghost soon arrived with all the rebels but Organa, who stayed behind to perpetuate the ruse that she was a loyal Imperial citizen. This mission was referenced in a letter from Bail Organa to Mon Mothma that was later collected in an intelligence dossier.Star Wars: Rogue One: Rebel Dossier
====A Princess on Garel====
Sometime later, Wren undertook a solo mission to obtain data-tapes from Leia that contained the locations of numerous Imperial bases. In order to meet Organa without exposing her secret involvement in the Rebellion, Wren posed as a bounty hunter to "abduct" Organa and separate her from her stormtrooper security detail. She was nervous before the mission, as she did not know much about Organa. She ambushed the troopers with a paint bomb and escaped with Organa. After introducing herself, Organa prepared to hand over the tape cassette. However, the pair were tracked down by the assassin droid IG-88, which also desired to acquire the data-tape. Wren whipped out another paint bomb and when it triggered, Wren and Organa fled the scene, running back towards the stormtroopers. Wren hid out of sight and Organa ordered her bodyguards to engage the droid. While the stormtroopers were distracted, Organa handed the tape over to Wren. Sabine thanked her, addressing her by her title of princess, but Organa insisted that she call her Leia. Sabine smiled and said that she would keep fighting on the outside while she fought on the inside. Organa expressed gratitude and expressed her desire to work with her in the future before the two parted ways.Forces of Destiny: The Leia Chronicles
====Concord Dawn====
In a discussion for a new hyperspace route to the Lothal sector with Phoenix command, Wren recommended that they used the Concord Dawn system, a Mandalorian colony not yet under Imperial subjugation. Unaware of their allegiance, they decided to try diplomatic venues and Wren accompanied Syndulla and Phoenix Squadron in a RZ-1 A-wing interceptor. Upon arriving in Concord Dawn space, Syndulla requested safe passage for the rebellion, but the Imperial-aligned leader of the Protectors of Concord Dawn, Fenn Rau, refused. He and his men then attacked the rebel squadron. Forced to retreat, on Syndulla's orders, Wren made the jump back to the fleet, only to be followed by Syndulla, who was gravely injured by the attack. Though Syndulla's vital signs stabilized, Wren promised her that they were going to answer for the attack.
Jarrus, who recognized Rau from the Clone Wars, then took it upon himself to infiltrate the Protectors Camp and negotiate, and allowed only Chopper to accompany him. Wren, however, sneaked in the Phantom and went with him. After a discussion in which he wanted to complete Syndulla's goal to recruit the Protectors, Wren accepted with the condition that she could destroy their Fang fighters if Rau refused. Together, they infiltrated the base, and leaving Jarrus to talk to Rau, Wren planted the explosives. Before long, the Mandalorians were alerted to her presence and surrounded Wren, but she invoked the code and called Rau out for battle. Jarrus implored Wren not to kill Rau; she only told him to trust her, as she and Rau held steady in a standoff. Wren proved to be faster by landing a direct hit to Rau's blaster, and activated the scattered explosives, destroying the starfighters.
As Wren had been unable to destroy Rau's ship and the Protector was headed for the ship with the intent to destroy the rebel fleet, Jarrus went after him; meanwhile, Wren rendezvoused with Chopper and boarded the Phantom to pursue Rau's ship, besieged by Jarrus. The Jedi then brought Rau aboard the Phantom. Now a rebel prisoner, Rau ordered his men to stand down and allow the rebels safe passage through Concord Dawn without any mention of the rebels to the Empire, lest Concord Dawn fell to Imperial servitude―thus forming an uneasy alliance between the Protectors and the rebellion.
====Journey to Lira San====
Sabine and the other crew of the Ghost accompanied Ezra to Nixus Hub 218. Ezra had received a tip from his one-time "business partner" Hondo Ohnaka about the arrival of two refugees at the spaceport. Upon landing, Sabine asked Ezra where he had gotten his transmitter from but Ezra received no response from Hondo. When they approached the cargo section, they discovered Imperial stormtroopers arresting two Lasat refugees, who had been hiding in a cargo container. Sabine and her rebel companions assaulted the Imperials and freed the Lasat captives. Shortly later, Hondo turned up and revealed that he was Ezra's mysterious source.
The Lasat identified themselves as the former Lasan High Honor Guardsman Gron and the mystic Chava the Wise. From Gron, Sabine and the other rebels learned that Zeb had once been a captain in the Honor Guard. As the rebels made their way back to the Ghost, Chava told them that she and her companion were searching for the legendary Lasat planet of Lira San, which was rumored to be a safe refuge for the Lasat species. The rebels were pursued by more stormtroopers but they managed to escape back to the Ghost with the help of Hondo, who sealed several exits to prevent the Imperials from pursuing them. During the gunfight, Sabine and Hera shot the stormtroopers blocking their path to the Ghost hangar bay.
After boarding the Ghost, Sabine and her companions fled into hyperspace. Sabine helped Hera pilot the Ghost during the ship's journey through hyperspace. Chava and Gron also began a ritual to help them find Lira San, which did not appear on any official star charts. Chava also spoke of a prophecy which stated that Lira San would only be found if the "child" saved both the "warrior" and the "fool." While initially reluctant, Zeb agreed to take part in order to save his people. Sabine and the other rebels were present when Zeb used his bo-rifle to pinpoint Lira San's location on a holographic map generated by Chopper. After determining Lira San's location, the rebels set a course for Wild Space, a region which lay beyond the Outer Rim Territories.
As the Ghost approached Wild Space, they encountered a new obstacle in the form of an imploded star cluster; which blocked their path to Lira San. The rebels' problems were further compounded when an Imperial light cruiser captained by Agent Kallus exited hyperspace behind them. Sabine and Hera manned the Ghost controls as the ship attempted to brave the maelstrom ahead. At that point, Zeb fulfilled the ancient Lasat prophecy by using his bo-rifle to guide the Ghost through the maelstrom ahead. Sabine and Hera were initially taken by surprise but were relieved when their ship entered the gravitational field intact. Meanwhile, the Imperial cruiser was forced to retreat due to damage from the gravitational pull of the star cluster.
Upon entering the imploded star cluster, the Ghost jumped into hyperspace. Sabine and the other rebels were knocked out by a bright blast of light. When they awoke, they found themselves in an unknown region of space. Shortly later, they sighted Lira San on the horizon. Sabine and the other rebels stayed aboard while Zeb, along with Gron and Chava, traveled down to Lira San in the Phantom. The three Lasat subsequently discovered that Lira San was the original homeworld of the Lasat species and that it was home to millions of Lasat. While Gron and Chava elected to settle in Lira San, Zeb returned to rejoin the crew of the Ghost. Reunited, Sabine and her rebel companions exited the imploded star cluster through a safe route which Zeb had discovered.
Later, Chopper stole Sabine's paint. The Spectres were tired of searching for it, and undertook a rescue mission as a distraction. Chopper later used the stolen paint to distract a group of Imperial cadets.
====Raid on the Asteroid Refinery====
Sabine and her fellow rebels later took part in a raid on a Mining Guild asteroid gas refinery to obtain fuel supplies for the Ghost and the fleet. While traveling to the refinery, Sabine and her captain Hera was at the helm of the Ghost when their ship was surrounded by a herd of purrgil, large space-dwelling creatures that were capable of hyperspace travel. While Hera wanted to open fire on the purrgil, Kanan and Ezra advised caution. Shortly later, the crew of the Ghost fought off two TIE/mg Mining Guild starfighters which attempted to drive away the purrgil.
Using the Ghost sensors, Sabine quickly tracked down the TIE fighters to the asteroid gas refinery. They also realized that the purrgil were traveling to the same destination. After they had parked the Ghost on a cliff overlooking the refinery, Sabine used her macrobinoculars to study the facility. While most the facility was defended by Rodian gunners and TIE fighters, she spotted a large platform that was used as a landing zone for shuttles picking up fuel canisters. The platform was undefended but they had to act fast. When the crew was assembled, Sabine and Hera outlined their plans to infiltrate the refinery and steal the canisters. Before leaving, they would ignite the volatile Clouzon-36 in the nearby planetoid to destroy the refinery; effectively denying it to the Empire.
For the mission, Sabine, along with Kanan, Chopper, and Ezra, would jump from the Ghost and land on the landing platform. Kanan was initially annoyed after learning that Sabine had stylized his stolen stormtrooper helmet. During the jump, Sabine took a ride on Chopper, who used his rear rockets to control his descent. While Sabine, Chopper, and Kanan had no problems landing on a bridge, Ezra miscalculated his jump and almost descended into the planetoid below. After landing, the rebels came under attack from the Mining Guild guards. Sabine attempted to activate the detonators but was stopped by Ezra who convinced her and the other rebels that the purrgil depended on the gas to survive.
After fighting off the Rodian guards, Sabine and her rebel comrades managed to secure the landing zone for the Ghost. After the Ghost landed, Sabine and the other rebels helped Chopper to load the canisters into the ship's cargo hold while Kanan and Ezra held back the refinery's security forces. During the fighter, Ezra was knocked off his gun emplacement while Kanan was cornered by two more TIE fighters. The refinery's boss Yushyn attempted to force the rebels to surrender. However, Ezra resurfaced with the purrgil and attacked the Mining Guild forces. Having finished refueling the Ghost, Sabine and her rebel comrades departed into space but not before destroying the refinery.
In space, Sabine and her rebel comrades were reunited with Ezra, who revealed that he had managed to establish a bond with the Purrgil King. The purrgil were not native to the planetoid but depended on the gas there to survive and to travel into hyperspace. The crew of the Ghost then followed their purrgil allies through hyperspace.
====Rescuing Chopper====
Following a skirmish with a Star Destroyer, Chopper was pulled into space due to a hull breach in the Ghost. As Wren, Orrelios, and Syndulla searched for the droid, they discovered another ship captured and brought him to a scrap pile. Chopper instigated a droid uprising against the scrap operators Davil and Bidvel, and the Spectres arrived to retrieve him.
====Ballad of 264====
At some point Sabine was captured and brought to an Imperial outpost, which was meant to hold her until a Star Destroyer could arrive. The droid 264 was assigned to the outpost, and recognized Wren, since he held the Spectres in high regard. Chopper, Jarrus, and Orrelios arrived shortly afterwards to rescue Wren, and the distraction allowed 264 to release her. Because the Phantom was caught in a tractor beam, 264 stayed behind to shut it down, allowing Wren and the Spectres to escape.
====Journey to Isobe====
At some point, Sabine Wren and Jun Sato traveled to Isobe, a planet in the Thustra system. Sato wished to pay respects to Princess Althea, who he had a relationship with and had passed away recently. However Wren was caught vandalizing a sculpture of the monarchal Lord Hallux. Wren and Sato surrendered to the Isobe royal family, and Sato confessed that he used to be part of a smuggling ring for Tynzo crystals, which is why he was first banished from Isobe. He also revealed Hallux's son Thelan ran the smuggling ring, and after hearing this Hallux arrested him. Hallux then allowed Sato and Wren an hour to leave the city, and the two paid respect to Althea's grave.
====Mission to Ryloth====
With the rebellion losing starfighters and pilots at a faster rate than they could replace, Sabine and her fellow rebels took part in a mission to steal an Imperial fighter-carrier seen orbiting Ryloth. Needing help, Hera contacted her estranged father Cham Syndulla, the leader of the Ryloth rebels. Cham and his companions Numa and Gobi Glie rendezvoused with the Ghost in deep space. Upon meeting Cham, Sabine told him that she had learned about his tactics and role as the leader of the Twi'lek Resistance during her time at the Imperial Academy on Mandalore.
Later, Sabine and the other rebels attended a briefing where Hera outlined her plan to use a stolen TIE/sa bomber to infiltrate and hijack the Imperial fighter carrier. Cham disagreed with Hera's plans and advocated destroying the vessel in order to demonstrate the Ryloth rebels' strength. In the end, Hera managed to convince Cham to put aside their difference and work together with her rebel cell to capture the ship for the rebellion.
Sabine later accompanied the two rebel cells aboard Cham's Nu-class attack/transport shuttle to Ryloth. During the journey, Sabine and the other rebels befriended Cham and his companions, who regaled them with stories about the Clone Wars and the Battle of Lessu. After exiting hyperspace, they entered their TIE bomber and headed towards the fighter carrier. In order to get aboard, Hera arranged for two rebel A-wing starfighters to attack their bomber. This ruse worked and the rebels were able to land their TIE aboard the fighter-carrier.
After landing, Sabine spotted that the Twi'lek rebels had brought a bag of detonators. Before Sabine and her fellow rebels could respond, Cham and his companions stunned them. Cham and his companions then proceeded with their original mission to destroy the fighter-carrier. When Sabine and her companions stirred, she and Ezra informed Hera that the Ryloth rebels had brought explosives with them. Resolving to stop Cham, the rebels split up. While Hera, Kanan, Chopper, and Ezra headed to the command bridge, Sabine and Zeb headed to the munitions rack to stop Numa and Gobi.
They eventually caught up with the two Twi'leks but were caught in a three-way blaster battle with Imperial stormtroopers. In the end, Sabine and Zeb managed to trip up Numa and Gobi by using a mouse droid to trip them up. With the two Twi'leks incapacitated, Sabine and Zeb bound them with restraints. Meanwhile, Hera had managed to convince Cham to abandon their differences and work together to secure the fighter carrier. Joining forces, the two rebel cells fought off Imperial reinforcements trying to reclaim the ship and repaired the ship's hyperdrive. Sabine also helped Ezra and Cham to shove a TIE bomber laden with explosives into the path of an Imperial light cruiser, destroying the enemy vessel. Having accomplished their mission, Sabine and the other rebels escaped into hyperspace with the stolen Imperial fighter-carrier. After Hera and Cham reconciled, Sabine and her fellow rebels were present in the carrier's hangar bay where they bade farewell to Cham and his companions.
====Mission to Oliu====
The Spectres undertook a mission to Oliu, where Sabine served as a translator for Wullffwarro. However Kitwarr got lost on the planet, and a storm set in, requiring that they find shelter. As the Spectres navigated the jungle, Bridger got separated from the group, but Wren and the others had to return to the Ghost. Bridger then reunited with Kitwarr, and the two were picked up by the Ghost crew.
====Tonk's crew====
Wren and Syndulla were contacted by a Rebel cell who claimed that there were refugees on Dinzo to evacuate. However, this was a lie created to insure the Spectres would assist them. Tonk's crew blew up a Cortosis mine, hoping that Wren and Syndulla would help them escape. Syndulla and Tonk argued, however Wren convinced the two to work together in the fight against the Empire, and brought them aboard the Phantom.
====Mission to Geonosis====
Sabine Wren and her fellow rebels, including Rex, traveled to the Geonosis system to investigate an Imperial construction module orbiting Geonosis. After the Ghost landed in the abandoned module's hangar bay, she, along with Ezra, Kanan, and Zeb, ventured into the complex only to be surrounded by Imperial stormtroopers under Agent Kallus, a perennial foe of the crew of the Ghost. Following a skirmish, Sabine and most of her companions managed to make it back to the Ghost. However, Zeb was separated during the struggle and fled into an escape pod, only to be pursued by Kallus.
Sabine and her fellow rebels then managed to escape their Imperial pursuers but stayed in the Geonosis system to search for their missing comrade Zeb. Despite efforts to track the trajectory of his escape pod and to sweep Geonosis with the Phantom, the rebels were unable to find their missing comrade. Meanwhile, Zeb and Kallus managed to land on icy Bahryn, one of Geonosis' moons. Together, they established an unlikely friendship to survive the cold and managed to escape several bonzami predators. After finding shelter and fixing his transponder, Sabine and her fellow rebels reunited with Zeb.
====Parting with the Jedi====
Sabine Wren was aboard the Ghost while Ezra, Kanan, and Chopper traveled on the Phantom to Oosalon to scout the planet as a potential site for a new rebel base. Shortly later, Ahsoka Tano visited the Ghost, and the ship later rendezvoused with the Phantom in deep space. Once aboard, Sabine and her fellow rebels learned that the two Jedi had encountered two Inquisitors known as the Fifth Brother and the Seventh Sister on Oosalon. Fearing that the Inquisitors would hamper the three Jedis' efforts to aid the rebellion, Kanan, Ezra, and Ahsoka traveled to the Jedi Temple on Lothal. Sabine, along with Hera and Zeb, watched the Jedi and Chopper depart aboard the Phantom. When Sabine asked where they were going, Hera replied that it was sometimes better not to know.
====Rescue of Ojo====
At some point Wren was forced to revisit her past and rescue Ojo, because of his knowledge of the Mid Rim Territories. She and Chopper attacked a Black Sun base on Smarab, which Wren was able to infiltrate and release Ojo from his cell. Wren asked for a chance at forgiveness, explaining that she now worked for a greater cause. Ojo initially didn't believe her, but the two worked together during an ensuing firefight. Wren was injured by the Black Sun Guards, and asked Ojo to go on without her. However Ojo instead chose to carry her outside the base, and the two escaped aboard the Phantom II. As Chopper piloted the ship away, Wren and Ojo reconciled with each other.
====Heist at Horizon Base====
Sabine Wren and her fellow rebels attended a meeting aboard the former Imperial fighter carrier, which had become the Phoenix Squadron's new flagship, to discuss plans to establish a rebel base on Berzite's moon in the Yost system. The meeting was also attended by the Rex and Sabine's old friend Ketsu Onyo, who had decided to help the rebellion. Ketsu recommended Berzite's moon on the grounds that it lacked an Imperial presence. However, the fighter carrier lacked enough fuel to travel to the Yost system. Sabine, who had been tracking Imperial fleet movements, then suggested raiding an incoming Imperial fuel shipment at Horizon Base. Upon arriving at Horizon Base, Hera and the other rebels made their way to the depot while the astromech droid Chopper stayed behind to guard the Ghost and to keep a watch for Imperial forces.
Sabine and her friends managed to steal the fuel but were pursued by Imperial stormtroopers. They managed to make their way back to the ship but could not find Chopper; who was distracted by a droid leg being sold at a nearby stall. Upon arriving back at the Phoenix fleet, they found the fleet under attack from an Imperial force led by Admiral Kassius Konstantine, who gave his men orders to stop the Ghost from delivering fuel to the fighter carrier. However, the Ghost was able to dock in one of the fighter carrier's hangar bay due to the intervention of Ketsu's starship Shadow Caster. After refueling the fighter carrier, Sabine and the rebel fleet made preparations to depart to the Yost system. However, Hera and Commander Sato received warning from Chopper and the former Imperial inventory droid AP-5 that the Empire had set a trap in the Yost system. With the help of AP-5, the rebels instead fled to the planet Atollon, which had no Imperial presence.
At Atollon, Sabine and the other rebels reunited with Chopper and AP-5, who had stolen an Imperial cargo ship. Sabine also repaired the badly-damaged AP-5, who had been blasted during the takeover. Chopper willingly relinquished his stolen droid leg to provide Sabine with parts to repair his friend. When AP-5 awoke, he chided Chopper for the "illogical act" of sacrificing his leg to fix him. Sabine and her fellow rebels watched the two droids insulting each other verbally before exiting the common room.
====Building Chopper Base====
Following the discovery of Atollon, the Phoenix rebels established a base on the planet called Chopper Base. Sabine and the other Spectres assisted in the establishment of the base by ferrying supplies from the fleet. On one supply run to deliver power generators, Sabine and Captain Syndulla were at the helm of the Ghost. During the journey, Sabine and Hera watched Kanan and Ezra undergoing a lightsaber training session in the ship's cargo hold. When Sabine complimented Ezra's improved abilities, the young apprentice took it as a "put-down."
After landing at Chopper Base, Sabine and her fellow rebels met Rex in the command center. Rex informed them that this scout had found an underground source of water. Sabine also helped the Phoenix rebels plant sensor beacons around the base to provide a warning for intruders. Later that evening, Sabine and Rex received a report that a fellow rebel named Lieutenant Dicer had not returned from planting a sensor marker in the northern perimeter. The two ventured to Dicer's last known location in the Phantom.
Upon arriving there, Sabine and Rex found Dicer's sensor marker and helmet but no sign of the rebel. While examining her helmet, Rex concluded that Dicer had been taken after she had planted the sensor marker. At that point, Rex sensed movement coming from a "rock" behind Sabine. This "rock" turned out to be a krykna, a large spidery creature. Sabine managed to fight off the krykna with two blaster pistols and call for help. However, Rex was overpowered and taken captive by the krykna.
Shortly later, the other Spectres arrived in the Ghost and Sabine informed her comrades that Rex had been taken by the krykna. While Chopper guarded the Ghost, Sabine and her fellow rebels explored the tunnels. While Ezra and Kanan explored one section, Sabine, along with Hera and Zeb, explored a different section which led them to an underground nest. There, they managed to free Rex but were then pursued by several krykna. After reuniting with Ezra and Kanan, the Spectres escaped the tunnels and made their way back to the Ghost.
After boarding the ship, Sabine and her fellow rebels attempted to escape but the ship was trapped under a web woven by the krykna. Under Hera's orders, Sabine diverted all auxiliary power to the hull. This had the effect of electrocuting a krykna but it failed to drive the creatures away. As the fighting continued, Sabine realized that the krykna avoided the sensor marker and suggested using the machine to hold the creatures at bay so that the rebels could break free of their web.
During the rebel counter-attack, Ezra and Kanan used their Force powers to hurl Sabine towards the sensor marker. However, they miscalculated and she landed in a pit. Sabine managed to reach the top and escape a krykna that was lurking at the bottom of the pit. Using the sensor marker, Sabine managed to fight her way back to the Ghost. Meanwhile, Ezra and Kanan used their lightsabers to break the web around the ship. Having freed the Ghost, the rebels were able to flee back to Chopper Base.
The following day, the Phoenix rebels managed to secure Chopper base from the krykna by erecting a fence of sensor markers around the base. Sabine and Kanan watch the rebels erecting the fence. At that point, Sabine took the opportunity to tell Kanan that Hera wanted to speak to him about the upcoming Jedi-only mission to Malachor. Kanan and Ezra were planning to travel there with the former Padawan Ahsoka Tano to seek answers about how they could fight against the Sith.
====Return to Garel====
While Sabine was working on the Ghost, Hera alerted her that Ketsu, having left Black Sun, was going to help her with a mission to secure food rations. Sabine was excited that her friend was going to join them and disappointed when Hera reminded her that she was only working with them for the money and was not necessarily ready to join the Rebellion, reminding Sabine that it had even taken her a while to come around to the idea. She later hid behind a stack of crates in Garel City, waiting for Ketsu, who eventually jumped down next to her. Sabine then gave her the chance to join the Rebellion, saying that they wanted her in the family they had built, but Ketsu remained hesitant.
Together, they attempted to bypass a security door to enter a restricted area, but while Sabine tried to work on the panel, Ketsu told her to stand back and blasted the door, allowing them to enter. Sabine led them on their search for loading bay nineteen, where Hera's intel told them the food would be located, and Ketsu expressed remorse that they were stealing supplies instead of taking down Imperials. Sabine reminded her that the Rebellion was not always about combat and more about helping people in any way they could. However, they were quickly discovered and battled several stormtrooper guards. When one of the food canisters fell, Sabine covered Ketsu while she rescued a Chadra-Fan boy. Sabine then called in Spectre 2 to pick them up. Sabine, Ketsu, and the boy were then picked up by the Ghost. After dropping off the boy, Ketsu admitted that it felt good to work for a good cause. As thanks, Sabine spray-painted an orange starbird on Ketsu's charred pauldron, and her friend decided to join the Rebellion.
Later, when Sabine was cleaning her speeder, Hera approached and said that they were late to rendezvous with Ketsu, saying that Sabine was her ride. Sabine was happy to test her speeder's engine. They arrived at the spaceport to meet Ketsu only for her to arrive after them, zooming past them on a speeder and jumping off before the vehicle crashed into a container and exploded. Hera handed her the data to give to the informant, but when Sabine offered to drive, Ketsu said that the informant insisted that she go alone. Sabine was reluctant to lend her friend her favorite speeder that she had just finished painting, but obliged. Sabine nervously paced inside the Ghost until Ketsu returned, sheepishly telling Sabine that she had crashed her speeder and presented her with the broken steering mechanism. While Sabine was saddened, she told Ketsu that she was glad that she was safe and offered to teach her how to repair a speeder engine.
====Mission to Thune====
Wren and Orrelios undertook a mission to Thune City to pick up weapons and parts for the rebellion. However, their supplies were stolen by the Garbis family. The two decided to steal the supplies back, and confronted the gangster Tomith Garbis and his thugs. The two defeated Garbis' men and escaped through the city. Garbis rode a Gruthic Winged Beast to hunt them down, however the Ghost arrived in time to help the two escape. Onboard, Wren worried that the Garbis family would continue hunting them down. On Thune, Lord Donith Garbis declared the Spectres a permanent enemy of their crime family.
====Staying behind on Atollon====
Sabine and her fellow rebels, including Rex, stayed behind on Atollon while Kanan, Ezra, Chopper, and Ahsoka went on the mission to Malachor. When Kanan, Ezra, and Chopper returned from Malachor, Sabine and her fellow rebels were there to greet them when the Phantom arrived at Chopper Base. While Hera hugged the now-blinded Kanan, Sabine and the other rebels remained silent. When Ezra exited the Phantom, Sabine, along with Zeb and Rex, looked with sadness upon realizing that Ahsoka had not survived the mission. Later, she and the other Spectres returned to the Ghost where they silently came to terms with Kanan's blindness and Ahsoka's apparent death.
====Stealing an Imperial shuttle====
Sabine joined Hera on a mission to an Imperial facility in order to obtain medical supplies for the Rebellion. During their rendezvous, Sabine told Hera that the transport they were looking at was the correct transport, although Hera remained skeptical. However, Sabine's decision proved to have been made too hastily, as they boarded the wrong shuttle and found themselves surrounded by stormtroopers while the shuttle with the medical supplies flew off.
Rushing back into the cockpit, Sabine told Hera that she had made a mistake as the stormtrooper began cutting through the door. Hera began to fly the ship in a manner that caused the stormtroopers to be tossed around the cargo hold as the two rebels realized that Chopper was flying the ship with the medical supplies right next to them. Seeing Chopper, Sabine came up with a new plan to jump to the other shuttle from the cockpit. She attempted to shoot the glass around the cockpit, but Hera grabbed her arm and popped it off using the ship's controls. Before jumping, Hera disabled the controls. Sabine extended her arm, waiting for Hera to jump, and, when she did, she just barely managed to grab on to the boarding ramp. Sabine helped her up, and, as Hera made it onto the ship. After they landed, Sabine apologized for her mistake, and Hera cautioning her against rushing into things before accepting her apology.
Sabine took charge of a package that contained a holo-map. En route to the drop-off point, Sabine ran into a pair of stormtroopers. She made her escape by jumping across several rooftops. However, she dropped the package and it was picked up by Jyn Erso. Sabine followed Erso in order to retrieve the package before the stormtroopers captured her and the map. As Erso reached a dead end, Sabine shot at some chains, and caused the cargo to crash on the stormtroopers. Sabine confronted Erso and asked for the map. At first, Erso refused, but ultimately gave Sabine the map after the Mandalorian convinced her to allow her to keep helping people. Erso wished her good luck before scaling a wall and running off, which impressed Sabine. After her encounter with Erso, Sabine made contact with the Phoenix cell and left the scene.
====Argora bird rescue====
After the incident on Malachor, Sabine again changed the style and color of her hair. She also further decorated her armor.Star Wars Rebels: Steps Into Shadow After Bridger was informed by a source, the Spectres undertook a mission to rescue the argora, a rare bird from Xendek, which had been stolen by the Empire. Following a dogfight with TIE fighters, they boarded the container transport with the Phantom. The rebels fought off stormtroopers that were noticed by Wren, and made their way to where the argora was kept. They discovered that Bridger's source was Hondo Ohnaka, who wanted to use the rebels as a distraction so he could steal and sell the bird. This angered Wren, however Ohnaka had released the other creatures on board as well. The ensuing chaos allowed Ohnaka to escape with the argora, with Bridger on his tail. As Wren, Jarrus, and Orrelios caught up, they ended up in a fight with stormtroopers again. Jarrus connected with the beasts through the Force, and sent them after the Imperials to get locked in the cages intended for the creatures. Bridger released the argora to chase off Ohnaka and his profiteering attempts, so Wren and the rebels could return the argora to Xendek. By this point, Wren and the Spectres had caused enough chaos for Governor Arihnda Pryce to request Grand Admiral Thrawn to assist in matters.Thrawn 6
====Rescuing Hondo Ohnaka====
Sabine and her team later took part in a mission to Naraka to rescue the Weequay pirate Hondo Ohnaka, whom they had previously encountered at Nixus Hub 218. While Hera waited aboard the Ghost, Sabine and her team climbed under a bridge. After taking out two stormtroopers, they were joined by Chopper. Together, the rebels made their way inside the prison.
Once inside the prison, the rebel team located cell 6611 where Hondo was being held. While Sabine was reluctant to rescue the opportunistic pirate, Ezra assured her that his information was reliable. When Sabine encountered Hondo's Ugnaught companion Terba, she expressed a reluctance to rescue the second target until Hondo assured her that Terba had access to information of interest to the rebellion. Sabine then spotted a stormtrooper sneaking up behind Ezra. Following a firefight, the rebels, Hondo, and Terba fled down a turbolift. Inside the lift, Sabine lent Hondo a Mandalorian blaster and warned him to return it.
Upon exiting the lift, Sabine and Ezra opened fire on several stormtroopers. Following a brief skirmish, the rebels headed to the entrance. Terba then took the opportunity to break away from the group but was struck dead by laser fire from an AT-DP walker that was blocking their path. Trapped between Imperial forces on both sides, Sabine threw a grenade which killed the stormtroopers behind them. Chopper then shut the door. Meanwhile, Ezra used the Force to compel the AT-DP pilot to turn on his comrades and to drive his walker off the platform.
When Sabine asked Ezra if Kanan had taught him that power, Ezra coolly replied that this was not the case. In secret, he had been delving into a Sith holocron he had obtained on Malachor. When the Ghost finally arrived, Sabine and her fellow rebels jumped onto the hull of the ship. Once aboard, Sabine reported to Hera about Terba's death. This prompted an argument between Ezra and Hera.
====Heist at Reklam Station====
Sabine and the other rebels later took part in a briefing where Hondo revealed that the Imperials were dismantling Old Republic Y-wing starfighters at the junkyard Reklam Station inside the gas planet Yarma. Sabine was a member of a recon mission led by Ezra, who had been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Sabine and her team were tasked with scouting Reklam Station. Together with Rex and Hondo, the recon team traveled to Reklam Station.
On the way, they had to exit hyperspace at Sereeda Waypoint in Mining Guild space. The Phantom was discovered by a Mining Guild patrol, but Sabine and Chopper managed to shoot down two Mining Guild TIE fighters. Ezra then advocated destroying the Mining Guild command ship, but Sabine pointed out that the Guild would have already alerted the Empire to their presence. The rebel team then traveled to Yarma. While Sabine flew the shuttle, Hondo guided her through the gassy atmosphere. The rebels eventually spotted Reklam Station in the distance.
However, they were attacked by two Imperial DTS-series Dismantler Droids. Chopper and Rex managed to destroy their pursuers, but the Phantom sustained damaged and dived into the depths of Yarma. Sabine managed to regain control of the ship and parked it beneath Reklam Station. Once aboard the station, the rebels and Hondo convinced several Ugnaught laborers to assist them in stealing the Y-wings in return for gaining their freedom. After shutting down the conveyor belt, the rebels began refueling the starfighters at Sabine's insistence.
Before the could finish refueling, they were spotted by a third dismantler droid, which alerted the Imperial Commander Brom Titus. Titus activated the magnetic locks and ordered the dismantler droid to attack the rebels. The dismantler droid attacked Chopper before attempting to throw Sabine and Zeb off a Y-wing. However, Rex used a magnetic crane to throw the droid off the station into the fiery depths of Yarma. Meanwhile, Ezra destroyed the station's power plant which freed the Y-wings. Sabine then instructed Chopper to activate the relay navigation system and autopilot the Y-wings.
As the station disintegrated, Sabine and the other rebels minus Ezra escaped on the Y-wings into space. However, they were intercepted by an Imperial Star Destroyer, which deployed TIE fighters. Following a brief dogfight, the rebels were rescued by Phoenix Squadron, which dispatched the Quasar Fire-class cruiser-carrier Phoenix Nest to evacuate them. Sabine and the team managed to evacuate the Y-wings aboard the carrier while Hera and Kanan rescued Ezra, who had lost the Phantom. Back at Chopper Base, Sabine learned from Hera that the five stolen Y-wings were to be transferred to General Jan Dodonna's unit.
====Prisoners of Maul====
Later, Sabine, along with Hera, Chopper, and Zeb, was captured by the former Sith apprentice Maul, whom Ezra and Kanan had encountered earlier on Malachor. Maul had lured the rebels into a trap by attacking the crew of a Phoenix Hammerhead corvette. Maul then demanded that Kanan and Ezra hand him the Sith holocron they had recovered on Malachor and Kanan's Jedi holocron. If they failed, he threatened to execute his prisoners. After Maul inspected Sabine's artwork and surmised that the Ghost was their home, he forced Hera to take him on a tour of the ship, and Sabine protested. However, Maul told her she should trust him as he once ruled her homeworld of Mandalore. When Zeb asked her if it was true, she replied, "Unfortunately."
Sabine and the other rebels later took part in an escape attempt. They managed to knock out Maul's repurposed tour guide droids and flee into the cargo hold. There, the Spectres attempted to trap Maul with the magnetizer. However, the Sith Lord broke free with his lightsaber, hit Zeb with a box an threw Wren into Hera with the Force. Maul then reasserted his authority and warned his prisoners that they were only alive as long as they were useful to him. Maul took his captives to the abandoned Mandalorian asteroid station Vizsla Keep 09 where he rendezvoused with Kanan and Ezra.
After collecting the holocrons, Maul double-crossed Ezra and Kanan and ordered his droids to execute the prisoner. However, the droids were destroyed by Kanan. Sabine and the other rebels then confronted Maul in the command center. Maul and Ezra had combined the holocrons in order to see visions of the future. Sabine and the others except Kanan were blinded by the bright pink light. However, Kanan managed to convince Ezra to end the ritual by closing his eyes. The former Sith managed to escape into space afterwards.
====Skystrike Academy====
Sabine went undercover as an Imperial cadet named "Ria Talla" to infiltrate Skystrike Academy and assist defecting cadets that an informant had alerted them to. Sabine went alone on this mission, due to being the least recognizable of the rebel cell and having been an Imperial cadet before. When she arrived at Skystrike Academy, she put her credentials in an Imperial astromech droid. The droid initially rejected her credentials, which prompted the attending Imperial officer to take her aside for questioning. Sabine took her helmet off and told the officer her problem, blew the dust off the credentials and put it back in the droid. None of the Imperials present noticed her as part of the rebel cell, and the droid accepted her credentials.
The next day, Captain Vult Skerris sent Sabine and Wedge Antilles out on a simulation. They took out several Y-Wing fighters and arrived at a damaged transport. Sabine told Skerris that Imperial protocols dictated that the ship had to be boarded first, but Skerris insisted on destroying it. She voiced her protest and after the simulation, reported for a debriefing. After the debriefing, Wedge was impressed with Sabine's instincts but warned her that others in the Academy didn't share her views. She later overheard Wedge arguing with two of his friends, Hobbie and Rake Gahree about defecting. Later on, Sabine told Wedge that she was actually a rebel agent that was sent in to help defecting cadets, and formulated a plan.
Skerris later ordered a combat simulation, which Sabine recognized as the chance to escape quickly. During the simulation, she gave the signal to break off. Unfortunately, Pryce pressed a button that removed their solar collectors and left them stranded. The Imperials killed one of the defectors and then attacked the rebel transport, forcing them to temporarily abandon them.
Back in the Academy, Pryce told the remaining three cadets that she was aware that one of them was a rebel agent. Pryce presumed that Wedge was the agent and attempted to strap him to the torture device when Sabine revealed herself as the agent. Pryce ordered the two boys away and pulled up a glyph, recognizing Sabine as a former Imperial cadet and mockingly welcomed her back. Sabine later broke free from two Stormtroopers guarding her and engaged in a short fist fight with Pryce. The two were almost evenly matched, but Sabine eventually got the upper hand by pushing Pryce into the torture device's stinger, knocking her out, and escaped the cell.
Sabine then found Wedge and Hobbie, and freed them from their cell. They attempted to find a way out when the Imperials seal the doors around them. Kallus then appeared and opened the blast door. Suspicious of Kallus, Sabine asked him to give her a good reason to trust him. Kallus told them to avoid Levels 3 to 5 and use Hangar 24 to escape, and asked Sabine to send Garazeb Orrelios his regards and that they were even now. They then hijacked a bomber and headed for space when Skerris pursued them, only to be saved when Ezra's CR90 corvette appeared. Sabine was surprised by his presence, and Ezra replied that they stuck around just in-case she managed to escape. When they arrived at the rebel base, Sabine introduced Wedge and Hobbie to Commander Sato.
====Return to Ryloth====
Following a supply run to Hera's father Cham Syndulla's Free Ryloth movement, Sabine, the other Spectres, and Cham's band volunteered to helped Hera recover the Syndulla Kalikori, a family heirloom, from Imperial forces. Imperial forces under Grand Admiral Thrawn had made advances against the Free Ryloth rebels and captured Tann Province. Thrawn had requisitioned the former Syndulla residence as his new local headquarters. Cham had been unable to take the Kalikori with him while fleeing his former home.
While Hera, Ezra, and Chopper infiltrated the former Syndulla home, Sabine and the two rebel cells launched an attack on Imperial forces in a nearby canyon. Sabine blew up an AT-DP walker and an Imperial Troop Transport. The other rebels then attack before retreating into the wilderness. However, they were pursued by a second AT-DP walker and Syndulla's blurrg steed was gunned down. Sabine and the other rebels then positioned themselves around the rocks but were unable to stop the walker's advance.
The walker then stopped firing to broadcast a hologram message from Captain Slavin, Thrawn's second-in-command. Slavin revealed that the Empire had captured Hera and Ezra. He demanded that Cham surrender himself in exchange for their safe return. Cham complied with the ultimatum in order to save his daughter. Sabine then piloted Cham and the other rebels to the Syndulla residence where the exchange would take place. However, the rebels were able to escape after Chopper activated several explosives which disoriented the Imperials. After fleeing into the wilderness, Sabine and the other crew mingled with Cham's subordinates Numa and Gobi Glie. Despite failing to recover the Kalikori from Thrawn, Hera found renewed contentment and love with her father, Kanan, and her crew including Sabine.
====Mission to Agamar====
On Chopper Base, Antilles and Klivian wanted to pay their respects to Gahree's family. Although Syndulla was skeptical, Wren convinced her to let the two go. 
Sabine later accompanied her fellow crew and Rex on a mission to Agamar. While Rex, Kanan, Ezra, Zeb, and Chopper explored an abandoned Separatist supply ship to salvage proton bombs, Sabine and Hera flew the Ghost to raid an Imperial fuel depot. They were pursued by TIE fighters. During the pursuit, Sabine remarked that Ezra and Kanan would be expecting them soon. However, they had not heard from their comrades; who had been captured by the Separatist super tactical droid Kalani. The rebels managed to escape their Imperial pursuers and resume contact with Kanan, who had made peace with Kalani and found a new transport for the Ghost.
====Return to Concord Dawn====
In an attempt to win the Protectors' leader Fenn Rau over to the rebellion, Sabine played a game of Cubikahd with him. However, Rau was adamant that the Protectors were doing enough for the rebellion by letting them travel through the Concord Dawn system. Their meeting was interrupted by Zeb, who summoned them for a war room briefing with Hera and Commander Sato. After losing contact with the Protectors, Sato suspected that the Mandalorians were setting a trap for them. To clear the Protectors' name, Rau offered to travel to the Concord Dawn system to reason with them. Hera dispatched Rau, along with Sabine, Ezra, and Chopper on a mission to probe the system.
Sabine, her rebel comrades, and Rau traveled to the Concord Dawn system in the Phantom II. During the journey, Rau managed to knock out Ezra, stun Sabine and land the ship on the third moon of Concord Dawn. After awakening, Sabine and Ezra were freed from their restraints by Chopper. They soon discovered Rau at the top of a hill. After rejoining Rau, they discovered that another Mandalorian force had attacked and massacred the Protectors. Rau was angry at Sabine and blamed the rebellion for the deaths of his men. While arguing, Ezra and Chopper sensed a signal approach. When a dwarf probe droid appeared, Ezra used the Force to trap the droid while Sabine destroyed it with her blaster. Rau wanted to bargain with the Empire but Sabine disagreed. She sent Chopper to secure the Phantom II.
The rebels and Rau were then attacked by a column of Imperial Super Commandos led by Gar Saxon, the Imperial Viceroy of Mandalore. Sabine and Rau managed to flee but Ezra and Chopper were captured. While hiding, Rau advised Sabine not to rescue Ezra in order to avoid drawing attention to themselves. They then observed the movements of the Super Commandos from a safe vantage point on a hill. Despite Rau's hatred for the rebellion, Sabine managed to convince him to help her rescue her friends by appealing to his hatred for Rau. Putting their plans into action, Sabine knocked out a Super Commando and stole his jetpack. Rau then secured the Phantom II. She then used smoke grenades to disorientate Saxon and his guards and rescue Ezra and Chopper.
The rebels attempted to flee aboard the Phantom II but discovered that Rau had stolen the craft. Sabine and her companions were then surrounded by Saxon, who chastised her for deserting the Imperial Academy and demanded that she pledge her fealty to him. Instead, Sabine got Chopper to upload frequency 337 feedback onto the Super Commandos' helmet, knocking them out. Sabine then donned her jetpack and held onto Ezra while Chopper ignited his rocket thrusters. The rebels were soon pursued by the Super Commandos. Due to Ezra's extra weight, Sabine was forced to fly low and the boy narrowly avoided colliding with a rock. With a Super Commando closing in on them, she dropped Ezra on a pinnacle. The Jedi used his lightsaber to damage the Super Commando's jetpack, causing him to fall. Sabine then reunited with Ezra and they proceeded towards Saxon's starship.
Saxon and his three remaining men followed the rebels into a narrower part of the canyon. In order to delay them, Sabine threw grenades at Super Commando, blocking his path. When Saxon and another Super Commando fired upon her, Sabine lost hold of Ezra, and he landed on Chopper. Sabine then shot a second Mandalorian warrior with her blaster, causing his jetpack to explode. The rebels eventually reached Saxon's ship but the Super Commandos caught up with them. One of the Super Commandos seized Sabine's helmet. Saxon ordered his remaining Commando to shoot Ezra while he executed Sabine. Before they could carry out their execution, Rau arrived on the Phantom II and attacked Saxon's vessel and the remaining Commando. When Sabine and Ezra tried to board the Phantom II, Gar Saxon tackled Sabine and told her that he was going to bring her into the empire. They fought for a few seconds until Sabine managed to flee with Ezra and Chopper aboard their shuttle.
Once aboard the ship, Sabine confronted Rau about his sudden change of heart. Rau explained that he realized that she was willing to die for her friends even though they were not Mandalorians. He praised her for remaining true to the "old ways" and told her that she had gained his respect. When Ezra remarked that the Mandalorians were crazy, Rau responded that he was crazy enough to join the rebellion. Sabine then welcomed Rau to the family as they departed the Concord Dawn system.
====Junkyard mission====
Wren, Rex, and Chopper were sent on a mission to retrieve an illegal modification program from the 720 light freighter Treadwater. The ship was abandoned in an Imperial junkyard, which was infested with dekamites. The three fought them off, and found the ship's drive unit. However, a dekamite queen made its home inside the Treadwater, forcing them to make a quick getaway. Rex wanted to stay behind, since he was doubting his aging abilities and wanted to prove himself a soldier, but Wren convinced him not to. They returned to the Phantom II and prepared to head home.
====Evacuation of Mykapo====
After receiving intelligence that the Empire was planning to impose martial law on the planet Mykapo, Commander Sato sent Sabine, her fellow rebels, and Phoenix Squadron on a mission to evacuate local rebel sympathizers. Upon arriving in the system, Sabine spotted a YT-2400 light freighter skirmish with Imperial forces. The Spectres and Phoenix squadron helped by attacking the TIE fighters. Sabine expressed surprise when the freighter destroyed an Imperial Gozanti-class cruiser. The freighter crew declined the rebels' offer for assistance and identified themselves as the Iron Squadron.
While Kanan and Zeb assisted with the evacuation efforts, Sabine accompanied Hera, Ezra, and Chopper aboard the Iron Squadron's ship Sato's Hammer. Once aboard, they were greeted by the crew members Gooti Terez, Jonner Jin, and the astromech droid R3-A3. When Sabine noted that the ship was in a state of disarray, Ezra advised her not to offend the crew while Gooti told them not to touch anything. Sabine, along with Hera and Ezra, tried to convince the ship's captain Mart Mattin to leave the system. However, Mart and his crew insisted on staying.
Unable to reason with Iron Squadron, Hera made preparations to leave the Mykapo system and rendezvous the Ghost with the rebel fleet. However, Ezra convinced Hera to let him, Sabine, and Chopper repair the Iron Squadron's hyperdrive in order to win them over. Sabine and Chopper joined forces with R3-A3 to repair the hyperdrive. Despite their efforts, they were unable to restore the ship systems because Mart had diverted power to the ship's laser cannons and deflector shields. When Imperial forces under Admiral Konstantine arrived, Sabine and Ezra managed to convince Gooti and Jonner to see reason but Mart refused to back down.
Sabine and the other rebels managed to flee aboard the Phantom II, but Mart stayed behind on the Sato's Hammer to fight Konstantine's ships. Mart's ship was damaged and he was stranded in space. Sabine and the other rebels managed to flee into hyperspace. Sabine later attended a briefing aboard the Ghost where the Spectres, the remaining Iron Squadron crew, and the holographic forms of Rex and Commander Sato received a distress call from Mart. Hera mounted a rescue mission to save Mart and the rebels traveled back to the system.
When Mart responded that the Imperials had attached something to the hull of his ship, Sabine recognized that it was a magno-mine. Chopper and R3-A3 managed to remove the mine. The rebels then managed to rescue Mart and his ship. The Spectres and Iron Squadron managed to escape destruction due to the intervention of Commander Sato's reinforcements. Sato was the uncle of Mart and had come to rescue his nephew. After damaging Konstantine's Imperial light cruiser with the magno-mine, the rebels managed to escape into hyperspace shortly after Grand Admiral Thrawn arrived on his Star Destroyer Chimaera. Sabine was later present at Chopper Base when Mart reconciled with his uncle and embraces his crew.
====Mission to Wynkahthu====
When Hondo tried to solicit the Spectres' help in retrieving cargo from a stricken Imperial cargo ship on the planet Wynkahthu, Sabine opined that Hondo could not be trusted since he had gotten them into trouble half the time. After a tense meeting, the Spectres agreed to assist Hondo and his business partner Azmorigan in recovering the treasure in return for obtaining the ship's proton bombs, a commodity desired by the rebellion. Prior to the mission, Sabine used the Ghost sensors to examine the cargo ship and discovered that it had gotten stuck in one of Wynkahthu's atmospheric storms.
Later, Sabine inquired about Hondo's Ugnaught crew but was met by obfuscation. Later, the rebels learned that Hondo had lost most of his Ugnaught team except Melch while trying to board the cargo ship. While studying the sensor charts, Sabine discovered that they could not offload cargo from the Imperial cargo ship the normal way since it was sitting above a vortex. As a result, Hera solicited the services of the Imperial inventory droid AP-5, who worked with Zeb to devise a plan to retrieve the ship's cargo safely. For the mission, Sabine stayed aboard the Ghost cargo ramp to receive the cargo from Zeb's salvage team.
After Zeb's team opened the Ghost outer cargo doors and attached grappling cables to the ship's hull, Sabine stored several shipments of proton bombs. Sabine kept Hera and Kanan informed about the deteriorating windy conditions. The salvage mission was complicated by a lightning strike that caused the cargo ship to dip into the vortex. Despite the presence of DT-series sentry droids, the rebels and their confederates managed to remove their cargo and evacuate the cargo ship before the vessel was ripped apart by the vortex. Sabine was present when the rebels examined their cargo and Hondo "reunited" with Melch.
====Mission to Lothal Imperial Factory====
Sabine, along with Hera and Zeb, stayed behind at Chopper Base while Ezra, Kanan, and Chopper undertook a mission to infiltrate the Imperial Armory Complex to steal the plans for a new Imperial weapon. She, along with Zeb and Commander Sato, watched as Hera corresponded with the rebellion's local Lothal contact Azadi via hologram. During the meeting, Ryder informed the Spectres and Sato that the factory was on full lockdown and that they had lost contact with Ezra, Kanan, and Chopper. Sabine and her comrades listened as Ryder informed the rebels about the new Imperial commander Grand Admiral Thrawn and that he was planning to launch an attack on the factory.
After Ezra's team escaped the factory with the plans, Sabine decrypted them and discovered that they were the blueprints for a prototype TIE Interceptor that was fitted with deflector shields. Hera and Kanan feared that if the starfighter was produced in large numbers, it would pose a threat to the rebellion. Sabine expressed shock that Agent Kallus had helped Ezra and his team to escape despite Kallus' role in helping her and the defecting cadets flee the Skystrike Academy. However, Zeb vouched for Kallus. Hera then counseled her crew to be cautious of Kallus until they could discern what game he was playing.
====Mission to Konkiv====
Wren, Orrelios, Chopper, and AP-5 traveled to an Imperial listening post on Konkiv, since their intelligence said the base was abandoned. However upon arrival, they were pursued by a DT-series sentry droid, forcing the rebels to travel further into the base. The four discovered the base was not abandoned at all, but it was largely forgotten by the Empire, so the personnel began a new life for themselves away from the Empire's bureaucracies. Their DT-series sentry droid lost control of its programming, acting violent and erratic towards its masters, so they had to keep it away from the base. They could not destroy the sentry droid, or else the Empire would be alerted. The droid followed the rebels and made its way into the base, which forced them to work alongside the Imperials to fight the droid. Wren and AP-5 convinced the admiral to deactivate the droid, so AP-5 could reprogram it before the signal interrupts. Wren promised to keep their secret, in return for Imperial intelligence.
===Mandalore's legacy===
====The Specter of Maul====
Following Ezra's mission, Sabine attended a briefing chaired by Hera to discuss the upcoming attack on the Lothal Imperial factory. During the meeting, Sabine asked if Thrawn was present on Lothal. Hera replied that there was an increase in Imperial ships above Lothal but could not confirm Thrawn's presence. Sabine was present when Ezra began exhibiting erratic behavior and fainted after claiming that he had seen a vision of Maul. Sabine later questioned Ezra about the incident in his private quarters.
When Ezra insisted that he was fit and insisted on proceeding with the mission, Sabine went to load an extra set of explosives aboard the Ghost. When the inventory droid AP-5 argued, Sabine insisted that she was the weapons expert and knew the right amount of explosives they needed. AP-5 grumbled but complied with Sabine's orders. When Sabine remarked that AP-5 and Chopper came from the same supply line, Chopper responded that she needed to change her attitude. Before they could argue, Ezra went on a rampage and Sabine told Chopper to get Kanan.
Ezra was about to kill a rebel trooper whom he mistook for Maul when Kanan and Sabine restrained him. After Ezra came back to his senses, Hera decided to relieve him of his duties until Kanan had dealt with the threat of Maul. Under Kanan's orders, Sabine monitored Ezra's wrist comm. Meanwhile, Kanan and Ezra went to commune with Bendu in the wilderness. Maul then appeared and convinced Ezra to accompany him to Dathomir in order to severe their mental link. After Maul's ship Nightbrother jumped into hyperspace, Sabine was able to track Ezra and Maul.
Sabine and Kanan followed Maul and Ezra to Dathomir in the shuttle Phantom II. After landing outside the Nightsister lair, the rebels entered the cave where they found that Maul and Ezra had completed the ritual which involved summoning the spirits of fallen Nightsisters. Sabine and Kanan opened fire on the Nightsisters but were possessed by the spirits. The possessed Sabine and Kanan then attacked Ezra and Maul. Ezra was forced to dodge Sabine's blaster bolts.
Ezra and Maul managed to escape the cave. Since the spirits' power came from the altar, the possessed Sabine and Kanan were unable to leave the cave. Unwilling to abandon his friends, Ezra re-entered the cave. The possessed Sabine crept up behind Ezra and attacked him with the Darksaber, an ancient Mandalorian weapon and symbol of power. Following a struggle, Ezra managed to use the Force to push Sabine out of the cave. This exorcised the Nightsister spirit. Ezra then told Sabine not to reenter the cave while he freed Kanan and destroyed the altar; vanishing the spirits.
Following the skirmish, Sabine re-entered the cave. When Ezra reprimanded her, she responded that she had never listened to him before. Ezra then informed her and Kanan that the Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi held the key to destroying the Sith. The three resolved to stop Maul from reaching Kenobi so that they could learn how to destroy the Sith. Before leaving, Sabine then picked up the Darksaber and took it with her.
====Mission on Geonosis====
At the request of Senator Organa, the Spectres and Rex undertook a mission to find the rebel operative Saw Gerrera, who has been investigating the mysterious disappearance of the Geonosian species. After the Ghost entered Geonosis' atmosphere, Sabine had difficulty making contact with Saw and speculated that he and his team could be underground. The rebels landed their ship two klicks near where Saw had transmitted his last signal to Rebel Command. Sabine, Zeb, and Hera stayed aboard the Ghost while Rex, Kanan, Ezra, and Chopper explored an underground labyrinth near a Geonosian structure.
Later, Hera dispatched Sabine and Zeb to trace the energy source that Saw had sighted before losing contact with Rebel Command. Despite the sandstorm, Sabine and Zeb managed to find a fully operational military grade deflector shield generator. Believing that Chopper Base could make use of the technology, Hera ordered Sabine and Zeb to extract the deflector core. Whenever Zeb expressed concerns about what the shield generator was protecting, she responded by telling him to work fast.
Working together, Sabine and Zeb managed to extract the deflector core by the time the sandstorm had died down. Sabine then discovered that the deflector core was surrounded by several inactive droidekas. After some discussion with Zeb and Hera, the rebels agreed to carefully bring the deflector core back to the Ghost. On the way, the Geonosian Klik-Klak, who was being pursued by the other Spectres and Saw, activated the droidekas. Sabine managed to use her technical expertise to reactivate the deflector core and create an energy field to protect her and Zeb. The two rebels held out long enough for their comrades underground to capture Klik-Klak and destroy his droid controller.
Sabine and Zeb then loaded the deflector core aboard the Ghost when Hera informed them that an Arquitens-class command cruiser had entered the Geonosis system. Sabine finished storing the deflector core while Zeb entered the cave to warn the other rebels. When the Ghost was attacked by two TIE bombers, Sabine and Zeb manned the ship's guns and managed to shoot them down. The rebels then flew the Ghost into a central air shaft where they picked up their comrades, Saw, and Klik-Klak.
The rebels and Saw then became embroiled in an argument over taking Klik-Klak off-world. When the rebels refused to accept Saw's demands, Saw threatened to destroy the Geonosian queen egg that Klik-Klak was guarding. The rebels and Saw put aside their differences to repel a boarding party of Jumptroopers that had been dispatched by Captain Brunson's light cruiser. During the brief skirmish, Sabine donned her jetpack and took out two Jumptroopers with a grenade. The rebels then fled into the depths of Geonosis where they discovered several poison canisters which confirmed that the Empire had perpetrated genocide against the Geonosian species. Sabine recognized the canisters as belonging to the Imperial weapons division.
Having discovered what had befallen the Geonosian species, Saw released Klik-Klak and the Geonosian queen egg. The rebels then managed to break through Brunson's light cruiser by firing their ship's cannons and proton bombs. They then escaped into space and informed Commander Sato and Senator Organa about Saw's rescue and their findings on Geonosis.
====Training exercise====
After the mission to Geonosis, Sabine and some of the Spectres embarked on a training mission near Chopper Base, along with Wedge Antilles and Derek Klivian. Prior to leaving, she told the despondent Captain Zeb, who had been appointed Chief of Security, to cheer up. During the group's absence, an E-XD-series infiltrator droid designated EXD-9 infiltrated Chopper Base. With the assistance of AP-5 and Chopper, Zeb managed to send it back to its Imperial Star Destroyer base with its armed proton torpedo warhead.
The warhead activated, triggering a chain reaction which destroyed the Imperial starship. Although Zeb's handling of the incident kept the location of Chopper Base secret, for the time being, it narrowed down the search area for Grand Admiral Thrawn's Seventh Fleet. After the rebels received a message from Fulcrum praising them for turning the infiltrator droid into an improvised bomb, Sabine asked Zeb and AP-5 what was going on. AP-5 was about to recount the story but Zeb playfully muzzled him.
====Trials with the Darksaber====
After discovering the Darksaber on Dathomir, Sabine handed it to Kanan for safekeeping. She refused to wield the weapon since she was still haunted by her estranged relationship with her family. After briefly haggling with Chopper over the transport of supplies, Sabine went to her cabin aboard the Ghost to reflect on her art. Chopper later entered the room to inform her that the other rebels and Fenn Rau had gathered in the ship's common room for a meeting. Sabine soon discovered that the Darksaber was to be the subject of the meeting.
Due to her self-doubt and family issues, Sabine initially rebuffed the suggestion of her rebel comrades and Fenn that she master the use of the Darksaber and assume leadership of the Mandalorians. After Hera pointed out that the Mandalorians could help the rebellion attack Lothal, Sabine reluctantly acceded to begin training with the Darksaber under Kanan and Ezra's tutelage. However, she was still upset with Fenn and the other rebels due to the baggage associated with the Darksaber.
In order to avoid the distractions of Chopper Base, Kanan and Ezra took Sabine to train in the wilderness. After setting up camp, Kanan got Sabine to demonstrate her combat skills with a training saber, which was a stick that he had fashioned with Zeb. Despite her combat skills, Sabine was outmaneuvered by Kanan, who used the Force to compensate for his blindness. Unimpressed with Sabine's skills, he instructed Ezra to train her with lightsaber combat forms using the sticks as a substitute. Kanan was unwilling to let her use the Darksaber because he did not want Sabine to harm herself. For the next two days, Ezra drilled Sabine in lightsaber combat forms.
After two days had passed, Sabine's fellow Mandalorian compatriot Fenn Rau arrived with provisions including a Mandalorian vambrace. Rau explained that the vambrace was equipped with paralyzing darts, cables, and a repulsor meant to counteract the Force abilities of the Jedi. Resuming the training session, Sabine used the repulsor on her vambrace to gain the upper hand over Ezra. Cockily, she challenged Kanan, temporarily immobilizing him with her grappling line. After a moment, Kanan was able to break free with his lightsaber and took the opportunity to lecture to Sabine that while such tools are helpful and might save her life from time to time, only training and discipline would keep her alive in the long run. Frustrated with Kanan for holding back her training, Sabine stormed off to a nearby cave to regain her composure.
Later, Ezra met up with Sabine to comfort her. He reassured her that Kanan was not an easy teacher but that he meant well. Sabine then responded that she knew how to fight but did not want the responsibilities that came with the Darksaber. When Ezra asked about her family, Sabine told him that they regarded her as a traitor and disgrace. Due to her estranged family ties, Sabine believed that she lacked the prestige needed to lead her people. Ezra then comforted her by reminding her that at least she could still return to her parents unlike him.
Realizing that Ezra was right, Sabine went to the wilderness to clear her mind. Meanwhile, Kanan corresponded with Hera who advised him to let Sabine train with the Darksaber. She explained that holding back Sabine's training would only hurt her. Kanan realized that he had been wrong and apologized to Sabine when she returned from her walk. Sabine in return apologized to Kanan for her hostile attitude. The two then parried with Sabine wielding the Darksaber against Kanan's lightsaber.
During the sparring session, Kanan challenged her about her past decisions to leave the Empire and abandon her family. Sabine revealed that she had left the Empire and her family due to her guilt at her own role in helping the Empire to build weapons used to subjugate Mandalore. Sabine also related how her family had turned on her for speaking out against the Empire and cast her out. Consumed by her pent-up emotions, Sabine gained the upper hand over Kanan, but did not kill him.
After completing her trials, Sabine broke down weeping. A sympathetic Kanan then told her that the Empire ruled through fear and that her family were in a prison of their own making. Kanan then reassured her that she could free them. Along with Fenn and Ezra, he then resolved to help Sabine to use the Darksaber to rally the Mandalorians to the rebellion.
====Reuniting with her mother====
Following her trials, Sabine, along with Ezra, Kanan, Chopper, and Fenn Rau, traveled on a mission to her former home Krownest in an attempt to recruit her family into the rebellion. Sabine suspected that they still saw her as a traitor and did not expect her to be welcomed there. Her expectations came true as Clan Wren warriors attacked the Phantom II, forcing it to crash-land onto the planet's surface. After landing, Fenn and Chopper hid in the ship while Sabine, Kanan, and Ezra confronted the Clan Wren warriors. A shootout ensued after Ezra ignited his green lightsaber. The Mandalorian warriors' leader ceased fired after hearing Sabine's voice. Sabine quickly learned that the warrior was her brother Tristan. Following a brief reunion, Sabine and her fellow rebels accompanied Tristan and the Mandalorians back to the Wren Stronghold.
After arriving at her ancestral home, Sabine was greeted by her estranged mother Ursa. After seeing Sabine in the presence of the Jedi rebels, Ursa was about to imprison her daughter. However, Sabine told her mother they needed to talk and showed her the Darksaber. When Ursa told her daughter that she was unwelcome, Sabine responded that she had joined the rebellion. Sabine's mother allowed Sabine and her visitors to enter the Wren stronghold but ordered them to surrender their weapons including the Darksaber. While Kanan and Ezra were reluctant to part with their lightsabers, she managed to convince them by telling them that it would help the rebellion win the war.
Inside the stronghold, Ursa criticized her daughter's decision to join the rebellion and told her that the Darksaber was a mere symbol. Sabine's mother also appraised her daughter about the trouble that her actions had brought on her family within Mandalorian society. Sabine also argued with her mother and brother about Gar Saxon's role in murdering the Mandalorian Protectors. Unable to reach a common ground, Ursa ordered Sabine to walk with her. Daughter and mother continued their conversation over a balcony in private. When Sabine confronted Ursa over her decision to align Clan Wren with the Empire, her mother told her that their clan had little choice but to submit to Viceroy Saxon. Saxon had threatened Clan Wren with destruction and taken Sabine's father hostage to ensure the family's cooperation.
When Sabine related that she did not obtain the Darksaber in a fight, Ursa responded that her daughter's ownership of the weapon was disputed due to the circumstances of its acquisition. When Sabine accused her mother of putting power and politics over her family, Ursa responded that she was doing everything she could to protect her family. Ursa then told her daughter she took after her father but had not turned out the way they had hoped. Sabine responded that she was still her mother's daughter. Sabine also told her mother that she and her rebel comrades had come to seek Clan Wren's support for the rebellion. Before they could continue the conversation, Tristan arrived and informed Ursa that Sundari was requesting an audience with her.
Tristan then invited his older sister for a sparring session. While sparring with metal rods, Sabine took the opportunity to ask Tristan whether he thought she was a traitor. Tristan confirmed that this was not the case but explained that the other clans regarded her family as traitors. When Sabine learned that from Tristan that her mother had planned to trade the Darksaber and her Jedi comrades to Viceroy Saxon, Sabine rushed to the throne room. There, she found that Saxon and his Imperial Super Commandos had already arrived to take the Darksaber and the Jedi into their custody. When Sabine protested, Saxon told her that her mother was loyal to him. Tristan then told his sister that it was for the best. When Ursa demanded that Saxon uphold his side of the bargain and spare Sabine, Saxon ordered his men to execute Clan Wren for allegedly colluding with "traitors."
Before Saxon could put his plans into action, Fenn Rau arrived in the throne room and handed the Jedi back their lightsabers. During the ensuing skirmish, Sabine joined her family, the Jedi, and Fenn in defeating Saxon's guards. Ezra gave Sabine his green lightsaber, which she used to save her mother from being killed by Saxon, who was wielding the Darksaber. After igniting their jetpacks, Sabine and Saxon blasted their way out of the throne room and fought on the ice outside the Wren stronghold. Sabine dueled with Saxon and used her Personal Combat Shield to fend off his blasts. Sabine eventually managed to damage Saxon's jetpack, forcing him to fight her on the ice. Following a fierce duel, Sabine managed to recover the Darksaber and defeat Saxon. While Mandalorian tradition required her to execute her defeated foe, Sabine chose to spare his life. Unwilling to accept defeat, Saxon tried to kill her, but was instead shot by Ursa, who was unwilling to let anyone harm her daughter.
Due to her role in defeating Viceroy Saxon, Sabine regained the respect of her family. Tired of running, Sabine decided to stay behind with her family and Fenn Rau to helped reunify Mandalore. With the death of Gar Saxon, Mandalore would face a power vacuum. Sabine embraced Kanan before the Jedi departed with Chopper to rejoin the rebellion. She also thanked Kanan and Ezra for teaching her. While Clan Wren was still unwilling to help the rebellion, they had become sympathetic to the rebels. Despite her unwillingness to become Mandalore's new leader, Sabine still vowed to help Mandalore find it's true leader.
====Battle of Atollon====
Sabine Wren was present in Clan Wren's throne room with her mother Ursa and Fenn Rau when the rebels Ezra and Chopper arrived with news of Grand Admiral Thrawn's siege of Atollon. Ezra pleaded for Clan Wren to send reinforcements to aid them. However, Clan Wren was locked in a civil war against the Imperial-backed Clan Saxon. Fenn and Ursa advised against diverting Clan Wren's already stretched forces and resources to Atollon.
During the meeting, Sabine, her clan, and the rebels studied a holographic battle plan of Thrawn's Seventh Fleet above Atollon. Sabine found that the Imperials had a second Interdictor vessel which was preventing the rebel fleet from fleeing into hyperspace. With Fenn and Tristan opposed to Mandalorian involvement, Ezra and Chopper decided to leave and return to Atollon. When Sabine insisted on coming along with them, Tristan countered that Ezra's mission was impossible. Sabine responded that her friends "made the impossible possible" and thanked the rebels for reuniting her with her family.
Moved by her daughter's loyalty to her friends, Ursa relented and allowed Sabine to recruit volunteers and ships for the Atollon mission. Fenn agreed to help lead the attack on Thrawn's Seventh Fleet, sending the Kom'rk-class fighter/transport Nightbrother to the second Interdictor cruiser and deployed a landing party. The Mandalorian warriors and Ezra proceeded to attack the gravity well projectors with blasters and explosives.
The Mandalorians succeeded in blowing up the Interdictor cruiser, allowing the remaining rebel forces led by Captain Syndulla and General Dodonna to flee to hyperspace. Sabine reunited with Hera aboard the Ghost and was present when Ursa apologized for the rebel losses and thanked Hera for bringing her daughter back. Sabine then told Hera that she wanted to return a favor to her mother by helping them in their civil war. While Hera was unable to commit rebel reinforcements, she allowed Sabine to return to her people.
====Return to Mandalore====
=====Tarre Vizsla's statue=====
Sabine and her brother went to see Tarre Vizsla's statue. Once there, she discovered that the Empire had set up an outpost on the statue. Angered, Sabine decided that they would take out the outpost promptly despite Tristan's warnings. The two siblings then set up several detonators on the outpost and then cut one the metal beams with the Darksaber. After moving to a safe distance, Tristan set off the detonators which caused the outpost to come off the statue. Sabine then believed that the statue was smiling at them for what they did.
=====Rescuing her father=====
Sabine and her family later attempted to rescue her father, who was a hostage of Clan Saxon and was facing execution. Sabine was joined by several of her fellow Spectres including Kanan, Ezra, and Chopper, and the Mandalorian Protector Fenn Rau. Sabine led a joint Mandalorian and rebel assault on an Imperial prison to rescue Alrich. Their forces assembled in a trench and prepared to attack an Imperial outpost. Sabine led the assault, wielding the Darksaber against the stormtroopers, who were soon reinforced by a pair of AT-DP walkers. However, Sabine's forces were saved from defeat by the arrival of a trio of warriors from Clan Kryze led by Lady Bo-Katan Kryze, a former leader of the Death Watch and the sister of the late Satine Kryze. They defeated the walkers and entered the prison.
Despite defeating the Imperial defenders, Sabine was dismayed to discover that her father Alrich had already been evacuated. At the top level of the prison, Sabine then chatted with her new ally Lady Bo-Katan, who had served as regent over Mandalore until she had been ousted by Clan Saxon and the Empire. Since Bo-Katan was regarded by many to be the rightful ruler of Mandalore, Sabine tried to offer her the Darksaber, thinking her to be a worthy ruler. However, Bo-Katan refused, believing that she had already had her chance to rule and failed. Shortly later, Sabine's mother Ursa and brother Tristan arrived and informed her that her father Alrich was being transported to the Mandalorian capital city of Sundari for execution.
Identifying the Imperial convoy transporting Alrich, Sabine and her allies set up their ambush above a canyon. After Fenn Rau detected a single passenger in the middle Imperial Troop Transport, Sabine devised a plan which involved one of them sneaking in after the others caused a diversion. Sabine led the attack by flying down with her jetpack and ambushing several scout troopers, who were riding speeder bikes. She also threw a paint bomb at the middle transport, blocking the view of the drivers. While Ezra landed on the middle transport, Sabine acquired a speeder. The Mandalorians and rebels managed to defeat the Imperial forces while Ezra managed to overpower the Imperial troops aboard the middle transport and rescue Alrich before the transport tumbled down a cliff.
Sabine managed to rescue Ezra after he had Force jumped out of the descending transport. After reuniting with her father, Sabine contacted her mother to bring the good news. Ursa and Tristan were skirmishing with Imperial forces and had forced them into a retreat. This elation was short-lived when the Imperials deployed an AT-DP walker that was armed with the Duchess, an arc generator that Sabine had helped to develop during her days at the Imperial Academy. Recognizing the weapon's sound waves, Sabine tried to warn her mother and brother. However, the comlink signal was cut off.
Sabine and her allies arrived at the battlefield where they found the charred armor and disintegrated bodies of several Clan Wren warriors. Stricken by grief and guilt, Sabine collapsed in tears, believing that her mother and brother had died. Fortunately for Sabine, Ursa and Tristan had managed to take shelter and survived the weapon's effects. The group was then attacked by Imperial Super Commandos and TIE fighters, but managed to escape aboard one of Bo-Katan's Kom'rk-class fighter. After a brief aerial skirmish, the rebels and Mandalorians managed to retreat to Bo-Katan's camp.
=====Making amends=====
During the journey, Sabine was accosted by a furious Bo-Katan, who was angered to learn that Sabine had created the "Duchess," a weapon that could target Mandalorian armor. By reacting with the beskar alloy in Mandalorian armor, the Duchess turned the strength of the Mandalorians against them. Sabine had destroyed the weapon but was distraught to learn that the Empire had used her research to create another one. When Ezra asked the Mandalorians why they did not make their armor from another alloy, Sabine explained that the armor was ancestral heirlooms passed down to the next generation. At Bo-Katan's camp, Sabine was greeted with hostility by some of the Mandalorians, who resented her earlier collaboration with the Empire as a young cadet. Bo-Katan spoke out in Sabine's defense, warning that attacking her would antagonize Clan Wren.
Sabine offered to atone for her misdeeds by leading an attack to destroy the "Duchess" once and for all. With the aid of Bo-Katan, the rebels and Mandalorians devised a plan to raid Tiber Saxon's Star Destroyer above Sundari. One team would destroy the weapon while the other would erase the weapon's blueprint from the Imperial database, ending the threat once and for all. In private, Fenn Rau and Bo-Katan confided that Sabine had a lot of potential for leadership of Mandalore. The Mandalorians and rebels infiltrated Tiber Saxon's Star Destroyer, which was docking above Sundari.
They managed to sneak into the hangar but were spotted. At the advice of Thrawn, Tiber Saxon had concocted a plan to trap Sabine in order to force her to harness the arc generator's full potential. While Kanan, Ezra, and Chopper searched for the Imperial databases, Sabine and Bo-Katan went to find the Duchess. The two managed to find the weapon but were ambushed by Tiber, who unleashed the weapon's energy rays on them. Tiber forced Sabine to strengthen the machine's power. However, Sabine instead reprogrammed the Duchess to target anyone wearing stormtrooper armor, including Saxon himself, who activated the weapon unknowingly and accidentally targeted his own forces. Sabine considered killing Saxon, but relented after Bo-Katan warned her that doing so would make her little better than the Empire.
Heeding Bo-Katan, Sabine spared Saxon and instead slashed the Duchess' power core with the Darksaber. The rebels and Mandalorians then escaped as Saxon's Star Destroyer exploded due to the malfunctioning weapon. Arriving back at Bo-Katan's camp, Sabine reassured Bo-Katan that she was the rightful leader and once again offered her the Darksaber. Sabine's family and Fenn Rau then joined the other Mandalorian clans in swearing allegiance to Bo-Katan, who accepted the Darksaber and the mantle of leadership over the Mandalorian clans.
===Alliance to Restore the Republic===
====Raid above Jalindi====
Following the events on Mandalore, Sabine and the other Spectres traveled aboard the Gauntlet to Yavin 4 to join the larger Rebel Alliance. Upon arriving, they were greeted by Zeb. Shortly later, Hera's squadron of Y-wings returned from a supply run. Hera's Y-wing had sustained damaged during the run and almost collided with the Spectres. Sabine and the other Spectres then attended a briefing with the Alliance leadership including Mon Mothma, Senator Bail Organa, General Dodonna, and the former Imperial Agent Kallus.
Using intelligence supplied by Saw Gerrera, the rebels had learned that the Empire was tracking their movements using a relay station on the planet Jalindi. While the Alliance disagreed with Saw's ruthless and violent methods, they reluctantly used his information. At the advice of Kallus, the Spectres agreed to undertake a mission to insert a spike on the Jalindi relay's dish. While traveling to Jalindi, Hera and Kanan briefed Sabine, Ezra, and Chopper about their plan. To avoid detection, the rebels would only activate their jetpacks at the last moment.
The Spectres' plan proceeded initially and Sabine and her comrades managed to land on the Jalindi relay. Before they could plant the spike, they were interrupted by the arrival of Commander Brom Titus' light cruiser Marauder. After failing to distract Titus, Sabine opted to destroy the Jalindi relay with detonators. While she attached the detonators, Ezra fought with the relay's stormtroopers while Chopper realigned the dish in order to disorient the defenders. The Ghost was unable to assist since it was being pursued by TIE Defenders.
During the skirmish, Sabine saved Ezra from falling out of the dish. Shortly later, Saw Gerrera arrived in a U-wing piloted by the Partisan Edrio. He offered Sabine and her comrades a lift, which they gladly accepted. After escaping aboard the U-wing, Saw destroyed the Jalindi relay and the Marauder with proton bombs. Before the Ghost could dock with Saw's U-wing to pick up the Spectres, a Star Destroyer emerged from hyperspace. Before jumping into hyperspace, Saw invited Sabine and her comrades to "fight with a real army for a change."
====Soldiering with Saw====
While traveling through hyperspace, Saw briefed Sabine and the others about his quest to investigate why the Empire had exterminated the Geonosians, and what they were hiding. Saw informed that he had intelligence that the Empire was smuggling something through Faos Station. Despite Chopper's objections, Sabine and Ezra agreed to the mission. After arriving, Sabine gave Chopper a new paint job to disguise him as an Imperial droid. While Sabine saw no sign of the Empire at the station, Saw countered that the Empire was hiding in plain sight.
The rebels infiltrated Freighter 2716 by hiding in a cargo container pulled by Chopper. While the freighter traveled through hyperspace, Edrio followed in Saw's U-wing using Saw's tracker. Aboard the freighter, the rebels discovered an Imperial shuttle in hold 12 and that hold 17 was a restricted area. After subduing the stormtrooper sentries, the rebels discovered that hold 17 was holding several power and reactor technicians who had been kidnapped by the Empire for an unknown purpose.
While Ezra advocated evacuating the civilians aboard the Imperial shuttle in hold 12, Sabine pointed out that the hangar was guarded and proposed using the ship's escape pods. Sabine also advocated shutting down the ship's hyperdrive to force the ship to jump out of hyperspace so that they could escape. While Sabine and the other rebels made their way to the hyperdrive, Chopper was tasked with leading the civilians to the escape pods. On the way, Ezra heard "singing" emanating from a door through the Force.
Inside, the rebels encountered a squad of death troopers. After subduing most of the troopers except their commander DT-F16, the rebels discovered that the freighter was transporting a giant kyber crystal. Meanwhile, DT-F16 alerted the ship's commander, who jettisoned the escape pods to prevent the rebels and civilians from escaping. While Saw was determined to follow the freighter to its destination so that they could find out what the Empire was doing to the crystal, Sabine and Ezra insisted on safeguarding the civilians aboard. Saw agreed to guard the crystal while Sabine and Ezra headed to the engine room.
Sabine and Ezra managed to subdue the guards there but were stunned by Saw before they could disable the hyperdrive. Upon awakening, Sabine and Ezra found themselves restrained in binders. They also discovered that Saw had brought the crystal into the engine room. Shortly later, the freighter exited hyperspace in the empty Tonnis sector where it was intercepted by Captain Slavin's Star Destroyer, which had come to pick up the crystal. Frustrated that the mission had failed its objective, Saw destabilized the kyber crystal with Ezra's lightsaber and damaged the hyperdrive; seeking to create an explosion.
Despite their differences, Sabine and Ezra managed to convince Saw to remove their restraints. Still determined to rescue the civilians, the rebels declined Saw's offer of a ride. After arranging with Chopper to bring the civilians to the shuttle in hold 12, Sabine and Ezra raced there and fought DT-F16 and her remaining troopers. The rebels and civilians then escaped aboard the shuttle before the kyber crystal exploded and destroyed both the freighter and Slavin's Star Destroyer. Though the rebels escaped the inferno, their shuttle's engines were damaged.
Fortunately for Sabine and the others, they were picked up by the Ghost. The liberated civilians volunteered to join the Rebellion out of gratitude to their rescuers. Sabine and Ezra briefed Kanan about their second encounter with the kyber crystal. When Sabine asked if it was possible to weaponize these crystals, Kanan replied that he was unsure.
Wren and Mart Mattin later paid their respects to Jun Sato at his grave on Yavin 4. She reflected on her visit to Isobe and told Mattin about these events.
====Infiltrating Lothal====
After the Alliance received intelligence about the Empire's new TIE/D Defender Elite project on Lothal, Sabine accompanied the Spectres on an undercover mission to the Imperial–occupied world. The crime lord Vizago managed to smuggle the Spectres in his ship Broken Horn while delivering a shipment of puffer pigs. After landing on Lothal, the Spectres split up to evade their Imperial pursuers. Sabine, along with Ezra and Chopper, visited the late Old Jho's former cantina in Jhothal, which had been taken over by the Empire.
While Chopper waited outside, Ezra and Sabine ordered some drinks. They learned that Jho had been executing for aiding the Rebellion and that the Imperial pilot Baron Valen Rudor was now managing the cantina. Sabine had to caution Ezra not to show anger when Rudor ridiculed Jho. Before Rudor could question the strangers further, the two rebels were met by the former cadet Jai Kell, whom Ezra had rescued from the Grand Inquisitor years earlier. Kell managed to allay Rudor's suspicion by paying the Spectres' drinks. After leaving the cantina, Jai revealed that he had joined Ryder's Lothal resistance group and contacted Ryder to arrange an extraction.
Sabine and the Spectres soon reunited and escaped down Jhothal's sewers. Pursued by Imperial forces, the rebels used starbirds graffiti etched onto the walls to guide them to Ryder's rendezvous point. After eluding stormtroopers, the rebels managed to exit the sewers and meet Ryder, who evacuated them aboard a U-wing.
====Stealing the Defender====
Later, Sabine, along with Ezra, Zeb, and Azadi, stalked the Imperial testing facility where the TIE/D Defender Elite was being stabled. After confirming the starfighter's existence, Sabine proposed stealing the ship's flight data recorder so that the Alliance would know the fighter's capabilities. Despite problems bringing the weapon back to Yavin 4, Sabine and Ezra decided to pursue their plan. Infiltrating the base, the Sabine entered the TIE/D Defender Elite while Ezra kept watch. Before Sabine could extract the flight data recorder, Grand Admiral Thrawn and Governor Pryce arrived at the airfield to witness a test flight.
Before Commander Vult Skerris could enter the fighter for a test flight, Ezra distracted the stormtroopers and a gunfight broke out. Surrounded by death troopers, Sabine and Ezra flew away with the Defender Elite. Before leaving, Sabine used the fighter's armament to destroy the parked TIE fighters, TIE Interceptors, and Thrawn's shuttle. While flying the TIE Defender Elite, Sabine told Ezra that the fighter was equipped with a hyperdrive and suggesting using the craft to return with the flight recorder to the Rebellion. However, the Defender was pursued by three TIE Interceptors.
While Ezra engaged the Interceptors in a dogfight, Sabine deactivated the homing beacon so that the Empire could not track them down. However, Governor Pryce activates the kill-switch. Sabine managed to cut off the signal which allowed the fighter to land on its remaining wing in Lothal's wilderness. Despite the loss of the TIE/D Defender Elite, Sabine proposed recovering the starfighter's hyperdrive so that they could install it on Ryder's U-wing. After hiding the hyperdrive, Ezra and Sabine traveled with the flight data recorder through the wilderness while evading Imperial gunships. During their travels, the two encountered a loth-wolf, a mythical creature long believed to be extinct. The loth-wolf put Sabine to sleep before interacting with Ezra. The loth-wolf then carried the two young humans to a clearing where they were picked up by Hera and Kanan, who had come in Ryder's U-wing.
The following day, Sabine stayed behind at the Lothal resistance camp while Ezra, Zeb, and Jai Kell returned to the crash site to retrieve the hyperdrive. While waiting, Sabine expressed doubt that she would be able to install the hyperdrive on the aging U-wing but Hera reassured Sabine that she had faith in her abilities. Despite being pursued by Imperial forces, Zeb managed to return to the camp with the hyperdrive using a stolen Imperial Troop Transport. Sabine and the other rebels initially mistook Zeb's hijacked transport for a "hostile" but were mollified to see Zeb with the hyperdrive. Sabine then got to work on installing the hyperdrive onto Ryder's U-wing. This enabled Hera and Chopper to escape off-world with the stolen flight data recorder. Sabine and the other rebels then fled Imperial forces into a network of underground caves with the help of a pack of loth-wolves. The wolves led the Spectres and Ryder into a mountain ledge. After doing calculations, Sabine surmised that they had entered Lothal's southern hemisphere.
====Boarding the crawler====
After setting up base inside the caves, Sabine and the other rebels encountered Mining Guild Ore crawler Crawler 413-24, which was harvesting Lothal's surface for raw minerals. When Zeb recommended boarding the transport, Sabine concurred after discovering that the crawler had a long-range transmitter. While Ryder and the other Spectres followed in a speeder, Sabine used her jetpack to scout the walker and take out a sentry droid with a paralyzing dart. After Ezra, Kanan, and Zeb boarded the crawler, Ryder drove away in his speeder. Once inside the crawler, the Spectres overpowered the Trandoshan Mining Guild captain Seevor but failed to prevent him from alerting the Mining Guild.
Sabine then repaired the old transmitter and discovered a signal originating from the reactor room. While Sabine and Ezra manned the bridge, Kanan and Zeb went to investigate. Below, they encountered several indentured prisoners including Vizago but were attacked by the foreman Proach. Following a struggle, Zeb managed to kill Proach. When Imperial forces responded to Seevor's distress signal, Sabine, along with Ezra and Kanan, hid in the bridge's cupboards while Zeb disguised himself as the foreman and Vizago pretended to be the captain. This convinced the Imperials, who promptly withdrew. However, Seevor managed to escape through the ventilators into the engine room and shut down the reactor. Sabine powered up the transmitter while Ezra fought and killed Seevor.
After repairing the transmitter, the Spectres were able to re-establish contact with Hera. Hera informed them that Rebel Command had authorized a strike on Lothal. The Spectres on Lothal were designated as the ground support team. The liberated prisoners including Vizago also joined the rebel cause out of gratitude to their rescuers.
====Strike on Lothal====
During the Alliance's failed strike against Lothal's Imperial factories, Sabine, along with Kanan, Ezra, and Zeb, planted explosives on the anti-air defenses outside the Imperial Armory Complex. When Zeb asked if the explosives were powerful enough, Sabine reassured him that they would work. After planting their explosives, the rebels retreated on speeder bikes with Sabine igniting the detonator. Despite achieving this objective, the rebels were forced to abort the attack after Grand Admiral Thrawn inflicted heavy casualties on Hera's strike force. While retreating back to Ryder's camp, Kanan headed back to Capital City to rescue Hera. Sabine wanted to follow Kanan but Ezra reassured her that Kanan would handle the situation.
====Rescuing Hera====
After regrouping at the Lothal cliff dwelling, Sabine took part in the Spectres' mission to rescue their leader Hera Syndulla. While planning their rescue mission, Sabine accompanied Ezra and Zeb to Ezra's former "roost." After Ezra sensed that Hera was in the Imperial Complex, Sabine then confirmed that Hera was in Governor Pryce's office on the 157th level of the Imperial Complex. Sabine then joined Ezra, Zeb, and Chopper in assembling three Loth-bat gliders. While Ezra had proposed the idea, Sabine seconded it on the grounds that the Empire was equipped to target high-tech machinery and would overlook low-tech gliders.
For the mission, Sabine and Ezra donned TIE fighter pilot uniforms while Kanan cut his hair. Sabine, Ezra, and Kanan rode the gliders while Zeb and Chopper towed them into the air using a speeder bike. Using the gliders, the Spectres managed to land at the Imperial Complex's south entrance garbage chute. While Kanan went to rescue Hera, Sabine and Ezra infiltrated the Imperial complex's hangar bay. When Sabine heard the alarms go off, she and Ezra realized that Kanan had rescued Hera. She and Ezra then boarded a patrol transport disguised as the pilot and co-pilot respectively. They were accompanied by several stormtroopers, who had been dispatched by Governor Pryce to hunt down the escapees.
After learning that Hera and Kanan had headed to the Lothal City fuel depot, Sabine and Ezra dumped the stormtroopers on their transport overboard. Sabine then shot down another transport while Ezra took another out with his lightsaber. Sabine and Ezra then managed to rendezvous with Kanan and Hera at the Lothal City fuel depot, finding the couple embracing each other. Before they could leave, Governor Pryce arrived with a phalanx of AT-AT walkers and opened fire on the depot. Kanan used his Force powers to hold back the energy wave, which effectively allowed the crew to escape, but was killed during the explosion. Sabine and the other Spectres escaped on their gunship.
====Kanan's death====
Following the death of Kanan, Sabine and her fellow Spectres mourned the death of their comrade. After hearing Alton Kastle announce a parade in Capital City to celebrate the Empire's "victory," Sabine and Zeb decided to sabotage Pryce's parade in the Capital City in order to avenge Kanan's death. When she and Zeb arrived on the outskirts of Capital City on their speeder bikes, Sabine initially believed that the Empire had grown and that the rebels were outnumbered. However, Zeb pointed out that the Imperial factories were not belching out smoke. As a result, the two realized that Kanan's sacrifice had not been in vain.
Zeb then knocked out a scout trooper, which enabled Sabine to use the trooper's bike to tap into the local Imperial network. As a result, Sabine learned that the TIE Defender factory had been damaged during the fuel depot's explosion and realized that Pryce was trying to cover up the vital error she had made by holding a parade. She then vowed to get even with the Empire. Before leaving, Sabine planted a bomb on the scout trooper's bike. Sabine and Zeb's presence attracted the attention of the Noghri tracker Rukh, who had been sent by Thrawn to hunt down the remaining Specters.
After witnessing the explosion, Sabine then saw the "thing" she and Ezra encountered at the airfield. Knowing they could not let Rukh track them back to their base, Sabine and Zeb decided to ambush him. However, Rukh activated his cloaking device, which gave him an initial advantage. Sabine tried to shoot at Rukh with her rangefinder but the athletic Noghri was able to dodge her shots. Sabine then used a paint bomb on him that allowed Zeb to knock him out. When Zeb attempted to pummel Rukh to death, Sabine stopped him. After convincing Zeb to spare Rukh's life, she spray painted Rukh and sent him back to the Capital. Upon their return to the base, Sabine told Hera, Chopper, and Ezra that Kanan's death had not been in vain since they had managed to shut down the TIE Defender factory.
====Mission to Lothal's Jedi Temple====
=====Behind enemy lines=====
At the urging of Ezra, Sabine and her fellow Spectres embarked on a mission to save the Lothal Jedi Temple from the Empire. Prior to the mission, Sabine and her comrades examined a key stone that the loth-wolf "Dume" and his pack brought from Lothal's Jedi Temple. Sabine and her companions then traveled to the Jedi Temple on a pack of loth-wolves that Ezra had summoned. Despite the temple being located in the northern hemisphere, the loth-wolves were able to hasten the journey by generating hyper tunnels.
Upon arriving at the Lothal Jedi Temple, the Spectres discovered that the Empire and Mining Guild were excavating the Temple. With the help of Zeb, the Spectres were able to obtain two sets of scout trooper armor. Sabine assumed the identity of the scout trooper LS-515. Infiltrating the camp, Sabine and Ezra began examining several artifacts but were reprimanded by the Imperial Minister Veris Hydan, who was supervising the dig. After escaping the notice of Hydan and a Death trooper commander, the Spectres tapped Hydan's communications with the help of Chopper.
The rebels subsequently learned that the Emperor was interested in a painting of the Mortis gods, which Hydan believed was the key to unlocking the temple's secrets. Sabine and Ezra headed to the mural and used the key stone to begin decoding the "Gateway." Sabine subsequently drew the attention of a pair of stormtroopers, who asked her (presumed to be LS-515) why she was not on patrol. Dissatisfied with her answer, they brought her to Minister Hydan who identified her as a rebel spy. The minister then attempted to apprehend Ezra but he managed to flee into a portal, which led to a mystical realm known as the World Between Worlds.
=====Hydan's guest=====
After Hydan had locked down the camp, Sabine was brought into his mobile command center. Minister Hydan attempted to flatter Sabine by praising her artistic talents, but Sabine remained uncooperative and defiant. As the conversation continued, Hydan mocked Ezra's ability to survive in the World Between Worlds and warned that the Emperor would eventually find him. Sabine soon realized that whoever controlled the portal to the World Between Worlds would also control time and the fate of the universe. When Hydan quizzed her about the Mortis gods, Sabine taunted that she was "smarter than him." Hydan then forced her to cooperate by ordering one of his death troopers to strike her across the head with his rifle butt.
Together, Sabine and Hydan studied a holographic project of the painting of the Mortis gods. The two realized that the Father was pointing the way to the portal and that the wolves were the portal guardians. When Sabine asked about the convor, Hydan speculated that the creature was a servant of the Daughter or the Daughter acting as a spirit guide. As a result, Sabine realized that if the Daughter opened the "Gateway," the Son was the key to closing the portal. Shortly later, a stormtrooper reported that something was happening to the portal. At that point, Sabine heard a faint knocking from Zeb as Hera activated the command center's thrusters. With the command center tilting on its top, Sabine took the opportunity to escape and shot a death trooper.
As the mobile command center collapsed on a pile of crates, Sabine and her fellow rebels fled towards the painting of the Mortis gods. There, they were joined by Ezra, who had encountered Ahsoka Tano and barely escaped the Emperor. At the urging of Ezra, Sabine and Zeb helped him to seal the portal. Zeb lifted Ezra up, enabling him to touch the Son, who sealed the "Gateway." This caused the Lothal Jedi Temple to collapse, taking a distraught Hydan with it. Sabine and her rebel comrades then escaped on a Mining Guild excavation driller that Chopper had commandeered. Sabine drove the stolen transport away from the Jedi Temple. Later, they returned and found that the temple had sunk completely into the ground.
====Liberation of Lothal====
=====Capturing Governor Pryce=====
After returning to the Lothal Resistance's base, Sabine and the other rebels attended a briefing to discuss their plan to take Capital City back from the Empire. Since the rebels lacked the numbers to capture Capital City, Ezra and Azadi concocted a plan to lure Governor Pryce and her forces to their base. As part of the ruse, Ryder pretended to betray his fellow rebels to the Empire.
As planned, Governor Pryce led a fleet of patrol transports, jumptroopers, and stormtroopers to the rebel cliff base. During the skirmish, Sabine, using her jetpack, was able to take out several of the jumptroopers and the transport. As Governor Pryce's forces encircled the rebels, Sabine and the others retreated to a defensive position on top of their captured ore crawler. However, Pryce ordered one of her gunships to destroy the ore crawler. Amidst the falling debris, Sabine managed to rescue Vizago but they were captured by the Empire.
When Governor Pryce thanked Ryder for his help, Sabine pretended to be angry at him, only to reveal that Ryder had merely lured Pryce into a trap. As Hera arrived with reinforcements, Sabine then had Chopper jam the Imperial forces' communications. With the help of Hera's reinforcements and the loth-wolf pack, Sabine and her rebel comrades were able to defeat the Imperial forces and capture Pryce.
=====Destroying the Dome=====
Sabine then took part in a rebel operation to infiltrate the Dome, the center of Imperial power on Lothal. Using the captive Pryce, the rebels managed to land their stolen patrol transports on the Dome's executive landing platform. After landing, Sabine and Zeb engaged stormtroopers in a gun battle while Ketsu unlocked the blast doors. Following a brief skirmish, the rebels were able to take control of the Dome's control room and issue a faux Protocol 13 to recall all Imperial forces to the Dome.
After the majority of Lothal's Imperial forces had evacuated aboard the Dome, Sabine then prepared to fire the Dome's thrusters, which had not been fired in years. The Dome was a mobile Imperial Planetary Occupation Facility. However, their plan was delayed by the arrival of Thrawn and his Star Destroyer Chimaera. Sabine then told Rex to raise the planetary shields but they had been disabled by Rukh. As a show of force, Thrawn bombarded parts of Capital City and demanded that Ezra meet him aboard the Chimaera to surrender.
Following Thrawn's ultimatum, Sabine and the other rebels debated their next move. Though Hera did not want Ezra to go, Sabine and Chopper helped Ezra to escape aboard a patrol transport to confront Thrawn. In Ezra's absence, Sabine convinced Hera and Rex to trust in Ezra's decision. After studying the base's schematics, she came up with a plan to raise the shields and take control of the two power terminals. Hera approved of Sabine's plan in order to buy Ezra more time.
Under Sabine's leadership, the rebel forces were split into two teams which went to secure the northern and southern power terminals. Despite resistance from Rukh's Imperial forces, the rebels managed to secure the power terminals. During the course of the mission, Sabine guided her rebel comrades and even sealed a blast door to aid Rex's team. Though Chopper was electrocuted by the network terminal, Sabine told Rex to find the shield generator's manual override. As a result, the rebels were able to reactivate the Dome's shield generator, shielding Capital City from Thrawn's second bombardment wave.
After a pod of purrgil summoned by Ezra devastated much of the Imperial fleet and carried away Thrawn, the Chimaera, and Ezra himself, Sabine got Chopper to fire up the Dome's thrusters. After lift-off, Sabine and her fellow rebels evacuated aboard the Ghost before Imperial troops retook the control room. Following their evacuation, Sabine detonated the detonators inside the Dome, destroying the Imperial base and wiping out much of the Imperial garrison on Lothal. Before she did so she said, "For Kanan and Ezra."
Following the destruction of the Dome, Sabine and the other Spectres listened to a pre-recorded hologram message by Ezra telling them that they were the best family he could hope for. The rebels then gazed down over Capital City as the Ghost did a fly-over.
===Search for Ezra===
====Apprenticeship====
Wren at some point achieved the rank of commander. Following the Battle of Hoth, Wedge Antilles recalled his escape from Skystrike Academy with Wren and Klivian. Her artwork inspired the New Republic Starbird Squadron. She also composed an art piece in honor of a heroic pilot who saved a number of lives at the Criigo insurrection.Star Wars: Squadrons Following Bridger's disappearanceUltimate Star Wars, New Edition and continuing until the Battle of Jakku, which brought about the Empire's fall, Sabine remained on Lothal to defend it and keep an eye on the recovering world in honor of Ezra and his sacrifice. She made a home for herself in Bridger's old roost within LothalNet comm tower E-272. Eventually, Wren realized Bridger wanted her to do more than just protect Lothal and was expecting her to come find him.
Around 5 ABY, Wren and Tano began their hunt for Bridger. They traveled aboard Tano's T-6 shuttle, where Wren had her own quarters, which she decorated with drawings beside her bed. She also became acquainted with the architect droid Huyang, a droid scholar of lightsabers from the Jedi Order of old who joined them aboard the T-6 shuttle. Despite her weak Force-sensitivity by Jedi standards, she agreed to become Tano's Padawan learner and trained under the former Jedi, practicing with Bridger's lightsaber in the process. Eventually, however, the two parted ways on bad terms. Wren abandoned her Jedi training and returned to Lothal, where she lived in the former communications tower with a Loth-cat named Murley. At some point Wren journeyed to Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu.
====The search====
To honor her rebel cell's contributions to freeing Lothal and sense of family, Wren painted a mural of them flanked by loth-wolves and loth-cats. Around 9 ABY, some years after parting ways with Tano, Wren's mural was set to be unveiled to the public in a ceremony led by Azadi, who returned to his duty as a governor. Although Wren joined Azadi and other officials on the platform, she ran off before it was her turn to give a speech and made for the LothalNet tower aboard her speeder, blasting rock music as she drove. Wren spent the night in the tower. Once inside, she pulled out an imagecaster and watched a recording of Bridger reminding her that he was counting on her to see things through. 
After seeing Tano's T-6 shuttle arrive, Wren returned to Lothal City. She found Tano with Governor Azadi, who accused her of missing the ceremony. Wren claimed that she had simply forgotten, then greeted Huyang before speaking with Tano, who believed that she could locate Bridger using the Arcana Star Map, a Nightsister compass.
Ahsoka asked Wren if she could interpret the artwork on the compass. Wren and Tano were still dissatisfied with one another over their time as master and pupil, leading Wren to leave Tano's ship. Wren asked to bring the compass to the LothalNet tower with her. Although Tano refused, Wren took the compass anyway. Wren was able to open the compass, but was attacked in the night by the Force-sensitive human Shin Hati and several HK-87 assassin droids. Hati and Wren both drew lightsabers and dueled, but Wren was outmatched by Hati and eventually stabbed through the torso. Hati took the map and fled and Wren was taken to Lothal Hospital in the City.
After waking up, Wren helped decipher the memory core in the head of one of the droids, which Tano had obtained after investigating the aftermath of the attack at the LothalNet tower, and discovered that the droid had come from Corellia, the location of a New Republic shipyard, though she was only able to access the information just as Huyang disconnected the power supply to the head, a moment before it would have exploded. Tano agreed with Hera Syndulla, who was present in the room via hologram, that the two of them would travel to the shipyard to investigate further, and though Wren said she could assist them, Tano coolly told her to stay and rest, believing that she would not be of any help to them. Wren then talked to Huyang, and asked him whether Tano's only reason for coming to see her was because she needed help deciphering the map. Huyang replied that it had been Syndulla's idea to enlist her help, and that Tano had agreed; Wren interpreted this as meaning that Ahsoka did not actually want to take her back as a Padawan. When Wren stated that she thought she lacked talent in using the Force, Huyang responded that he agreed, but that despite him thinking that her "aptitude for the Force would fall short of" of every Jedi Padawan he had ever known, she was only wasting her own time by not continuing her training.
Tano returned to Lothal aboard her T-6 to enlist Wren's help. Reflecting on the separate paths taken by her fellow rebel comrades in the aftermath of the Liberation of Lothal, she visited the mural of her rebel family while waiting for Tano, who exited her T-6 and complimented Wren's haircut when she approached. Huyang informed Wren and Tano the runaway Transport CT-O5 was tracked to the Denab system where it remained in orbit of the planet Seatos. Wren joined Tano and Huyang as they departed Lothal in Tano's shuttle.
On Tano's T-6 shuttle, Huyang and Wren were training. Tano entered the training room and suggested to watch them. After the session, Tano gave Wren a blast helmet and a wooden bokken saber. Tano told Wren to wear the helmet and use Tano's voice to find her. Tano would then tap Wren with her bokken many times, and Wren would fail to counterstrike. Wren then fiercely attacked Tano, but she blocked easily. Tano then swept a foot out of Wren. Tano complimented Wren for being a fast learner at sparring. She asked Tano if she could expedite her training by using weapons. Tano replied it did not work that way. Wren said she did not feel the Force in the way Tano did. Tano reminded her the Force resided in all living things, including her. Wren asked Tano why not all people could use it and Tano replied talent was one factor and training and focus determined success. Tano continued to tell Wren not everyone had the disciple to master the force and advised Wren to start small as Tano force pulled her cup to her.
In the cockpit, Huyang insisted to Tano that Wren had little potential, and the Jedi Order would not have accepted her. Tano countered saying Wren did not need to be a Jedi, she just needed to be herself. Huyang then remarked Tano came from a long line of non-traditional Jedi and Wren would therefore fit right in. When Wren tried to use the Force to move the cup herself, but it did not move. She then joined Tano in the holo-conference with General Syndulla. Syndulla regretted that neither she nor the New Republic Defense Fleet would be joining them at Seatos. Before Syndulla finished her message, they arrived at the Denab system and the transmission was cut off. Wren, Tano, and Huyang quickly found themselves being ambushed by six starfighters including Shin Hati and Marrok. As Tano piloted the shuttle, Wren got on the tail gun and shot down three of the opposing fighters. As the pursuit continued, they discovered an unidentified object which was an enormous hyperspace ring called the Eye of Sion.
The remaining fighters broke off as Tano's shuttle encroached on the Eye of Sion. Morgan Elsbeth told her gunners to open fire. In response, Tano told Wren to return to the cockpit and manage the deflector shields while she piloted and Huyang conducted his scan of the hyperspace ring. As they neared the Eye of Sion, Wren warned their deflectors were down to ten percent. Fortunately, Huyang finished his scan just as Tano's ship was hit, losing power and Huyang. Tano assigned Wren to take control of the ship and work on repairs, while she put on a spacesuit, walking out onto the wing.
Hati, Marrok, and the other remaining pilot swooped towards the shuttle as Wren continued her repairs. Tano destroyed the remaining pilot with her white lightsabers as Wren finished the repairs. Wren piloted the ship, rescuing the floating Tano, before flying the ship towards Seatos, while being pursued by Hati and Marrok. On their way through the stormy clouds of Seatos, Wren and Tano encountered a pod of purrgil and flew around the star whales, using their tentacles to slow their pursuers. Once free of Hati and Marrok, Wren and Tano flew the shuttle towards red forests at the edge of the sea, landing in a clearing. After Marrok and Shin finished their scan and regrouped, Wren explained to Tano that she had not seen purrgil since the day Bridger disappeared. Huyang was then turned back on, and he showed Wren and Tano the diagram he had scanned. Wren concluded the Eye of Sion was a hyperspace ring. Huyang remarked he never saw a ring on this scale before and based on its configuration, it would be capable of hyperspace jumps of astonishing speed and distance and possibly even to another galaxy.
====Seatos skirmish====
Wren tried to contact Home One and Syndulla using the T-6's comm, but it was still broken. Huyang told her he was going to try to cannibalize wiring from the secondary motivator in an attempt to rewire the transmitter. Wren then went outside to see Tano looking at the forest around them. She told Tano the comms and primary power converter were still offline, preventing them from leaving or sending any transmissions. Tano told Wren the enemy base was nearby and warned her the enemy had the map and transportation required to get to their destination. Tano also said if they could not make the journey to find Bridger, no one should. Wren did not want to give up, but Tano reminded her it was better than the alternative of allowing Thrawn's return as heir to the Empire. Wren then went inside the T-6 and prepared to find the enemy's ground base.
Inside the ship, Wren put on her armor and loaded her dual WESTAR-35 blaster pistols. She spoke with Tano about her feelings for Bridger, with Tano reminding her that it was sometimes best to put asides personal feelings and do what was right. When Wren and Tano discovered the T-6's interior went dark, Tano concluded something was wrong with Huyang's repairs, prompting them to rush outside. They were confronted by Elsbeth's guards. While Tano killed a few of Elsbeth's guards with her lightsabers and Force powers, Wren did the same, as she utilized her combat and marksman skills to kill the rest of the guards. After the initial skirmish, Tano instructed Huyang to finish repairing the transmitter and contact General Syndulla. Huyang advised Wren and Tano to stick together as they were always better that way.
As Wren and Tano ran through the forest, they were confronted by Hati and Marrok. Wren immediately fired at Hati with her dual WESTAR blasters. Hati deflected the blasts with her lightsaber and Wren chased her through the forest. However, Hati Force pushed Wren against a tree, knocking off her helmet. Hati attempted to strike down Wren, but Wren dodged the blade and ignited her own lightsaber. As their duel continued, Tano struck down Marrok. Wren instructed Tano to get the map while she finished her duel with Hati. After Tano left, Hati warned Wren she would regret this decision before resuming their fight.
Wren arrived at the reflex point where Tano and Baylan Skoll were fighting. She discovered Skoll had pushed Tano to the edge of the cliff. Wren grabbed the map's orb from the ground, pointing one of her blasters at it. Tano told her to destroy the map, but Wren instead warned Skoll to stay away from her master. Skoll struck Tano with his lightsaber, causing her to fall off the cliff and Wren continued to threaten to destroy the map. Horrified at the presumed loss of her friend, Wren attacked Skoll with her blaster, but the former Jedi deflected her blasts. She then held the map against her blaster.
Skoll then offered Wren a choice, follow her master's orders or seize the opportunity to find Bridger, the only family she had left. Wren told Skoll he did not know what he was talking about. Skoll replied he knew her family perished on Mandalore because Tano did not trust her and that he and Wren now shared a common goal. He once again offered her the opportunity to reunite with Bridger and invited Wren to join him on the trip to Peridea. He also reassured Wren no harm would come to her on the trip and insisted this was the only way she could reunite with Bridger. After carefully considering Skoll's words, she reluctantly gave Skoll the map to Peridea. Immediately afterward, Hati began Force choking Wren, but Skoll ordered her to stop and told Hati that he gave Wren his word and that he intended to keep it unlike Tano.
After Elsbeth received the calculations for the jump, Skoll destroyed the map with his lightsaber, telling Wren and Hati no one would be following them. Hati then pushed Wren and had her follow Skoll onto their shuttle. As Syndulla's squadron closed on the Eye of Sion, Skoll and Hati landed their shuttle on the hyperspace ring and escorted a stuncuffed Wren onto the bridge. Wren expressed concern about Syndulla's squadron while Elsbeth instructed her forces to ignore the incoming ships and engage the hyperdrive.
====Arrival at Peridea====
While Tano and Huyang traveled through hyperspace in the mouth of a purrgil, Tano revealed she had sensed Wren went willingly with the enemy. Huyang replied that was troubling, then suggested the Force provided Wren with insight on her decision and that for her, saving Bridger may have been the only choice. Shortly afterwards, Wren awoke in a prison cell onboard the Eye of Sion. As Skoll stopped in front of her cell, she voiced that she had hoped for a room with a view. Skoll replied that her imprisonment should be an opportunity for reflection. Wren reminded him about their deal to find Bridger, but Skoll silently walked away, prompting Wren to angrily call out after him.
After the Eye of Sion exited hyperspace, Hati escorted Wren from her cell and the two of them alongside Elsbeth and Skoll travelled to Peridea's surface in Elsbeth's starship. Upon landing, they were greeted by the three Dathomiri Great Mothers. The Mothers mentioned Wren "reeked of Jedi," and determined her to be dangerous to their cause. The Mothers redirected Wren and sent her away using three floating spheres. As the spheres whisked her away to solitary confinement, Wren reminded Skoll about their deal to find Bridger.
In her confinement, Wren paced in her cell. She then closed her eyes and reached out wither hand, attempting to open the cell door with the Force. The cell began to rumble, but she looked out to see the arrival of the Chimaera. After Thrawn met with Skoll, Hati, Elsbeth, and the Great Mothers, Thrawn mentioned he recognized Wren's name and requested Wren to be brought to him as he believed she would be of great use to them. Two Night Troopers escorted Wren to Thrawn, who acknowledged their past history and thanked her for her help in his upcoming escape from exile. Wren asked Thrawn for Bridger's whereabouts and Thrawn simply replied her desire to reunite with her old friend would reshape their galaxy. Wren reiterated her question and Thrawn reassured her that he intended to honor her agreement with Skoll.
As Captain Enoch removed her restraints, Thrawn promised to outfit her with a mount and the latest intelligence on Bridger's whereabouts. Wren asked Thrawn if he was going to let her walk out of the fortress and Thrawn replied she helped his cause, now he was helping hers. However, he warned Wren once the Chimaera left, she would be stranded on Peridea forever and added Bridger may already be dead. Wren assured Thrawn Bridger was still alive, to which Thrawn responded she gambled the fate of her galaxy on that belief. Wren then changed topics asking Thrawn what type of ride he could offer her. As Wren prepared for her departure from the Great Mother's fortress, she was fitted with her armor. Enoch and several troopers then led her to a howler. Enoch commanded the creature to lay down, enabling Wren to mount the animal. He warned Wren about violent nomads who lived on Peridea. He then gave Wren her weapons and requested her to "die well," as the fortress entrance opened. Wren rode out of the gates into the grassy fortress. Unbeknownst to Wren, Thrawn sent Skoll and Hati out to pursue her. Thrawn informed the mercenaries he had only released Wren so Skoll and Hati could destroy her and Bridger.
As Wren traversed the Peridean steppes on her howler, the animal slowed to a stop and Wren scanned the region for signs of Bridger. Suddenly, a bandit appeared and shot Wren, dropping the scanner and knocking her to the ground. The blast hit her beskar armor, leaving her unharmed, however her mount scurried off. Multiple bandits quickly surrounded her. Wren killed a few of them with her WESTAR blasters, then ignited her lightsaber, killing or disarming the rest, with the survivors fleeing the scene. Wren then checked her scanner, but it was broken, so she reluctantly continued on without it.
As Wren walked through the hills, her howler returned. She scolded it for abandoning her and sent it away, dismissing it for being a coward. The animal whimpered and followed her, convincing her to give the creature a second chance. They continued their trek into a valley where there was a puddle and numerous rocks. The howler inspects one of the rocks while Wren told it to leave the rocks alone. The rock turned out to be a Noti in disguise, who jumped in fear. Wren laid down her weapon, attempting to communicate she meant no harm, then signaled her howler to sit down. The Noti noticed Wren's Rebel Alliance starbird symbol on her pauldron and revealed a pendant bearing resemblance to Wren's original starbird design. Wren concluded this must mean the Noti knew Bridger and asked if it could lead her to him. The Noti summoned others of its species in the vicinity. Wren asked again if they knew where Bridger was and they motioned for her to follow them. Wren in turn told her howler to do the same as they continued through the valley.
The Noti led Wren to their lakeside settlement and Wren instructed her howler to wait on the outskirts. She began surveying the village, when she heard Bridger tell her he knew he could count on her. Wren turned around with joy and Bridger smiled saying it did take long enough. Bridger told her he did not know where he was going either. He then asked Wren if his plan worked. She confined and they hugged each other. Bridger then informed Wren they never stayed in one location too long, as the Noti were nomadic. He then asked her how she got to Peridea. She deflected the question asking if she could just be happy she found him. He agreed and thanked Wren for coming and said he could not wait to return home.
====Skirmish with Thrawn's forces====
As Wren and Bridger traveled across the planet with the Noti caravan, Bridger told her he was still trying to process everything she told him. The defeat of the Empire at the Battle of Endor, the death of the emperor, which Wren told him that was what people said. Wren also told Bridger that Orrelios was training New Republic recruits while Syndulla was commanding a fleet. When Bridger told Wren he missed everything, she responded it had been a while. She told Bridger Tano took her as her apprentice. Bridger was surprised and congratulated Wren while teasing her. He then said it made sense as Wren had trained a little while Bridger was first learning. Bridger then asked if Tano was coming and Wren nodded, confirming it was complicated.
Tano was unable to find Wren on her T-6's scopes and she reached out with the Force to Wren. Bridger told Wren about his relationship to the Noti, but Wren drifted off and quietly said Tano's name. When Bridger asked her what was wrong, she told him she did not know but it was a familiar feeling. Moments later, a Noti noticed Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati mounted on hill in the distance. Wren confirmed they were not friends of hers, prompting Bridger to turn the caravan around. As the bandits chased the Noti caravan, Wren exchanged fire with them. She asked Bridger if the Noti had any weapons and Bridger replied they did not as they were peaceful people. After taking down several bandits, Bridger ordered the Noti caravan to circle up, protecting a damaged Noti's pod mobile house. When Bridger noticed Hati on a hill, he asked Wren who she was, and Wren replied that Hati was like him but lacked his sense of humor.
After Wren and Bridger exited their pod, Wren attempted to give Bridger his lightsaber. He refused, telling Wren the saber was now hers and claimed the Force was all he needed. Wren fought with her lightsaber and blasters while Bridger fought with the Force and physical combat. After defeating several of the bandits, Wren joined Bridger's fight against Hati, engaging her in lightsaber combat, as Thrawn's Night Troopers arrived at the battle. The Night Troopers quickly overran them, but Tano joined the fight, changing the tide. In turn, Thrawn's forces were quickly defeated, with the remainder retreating. Tano offered Hati the opportunity to join them, but she fled. Wren remarked she thought Tano was dead and Tano told her she would not have missed the reunion with Bridger and hugged him.
====Pursuing the Grand Admiral====
As Bridger rummaged through Huyang's lightsaber parts, preparing to construct his lightsaber, Huyang asked him who trained him. Wren, who was standing in the doorway, replied Kanan Jarrus taught Bridger. She then listened as Huyang told Bridger how he trained a young Caleb Dume, telling Bridger that Caleb was gifted, yet somewhat shy. After Wren left the room, Huyang told Bridger about Wren's relationship with Tano. He explained Tano became concerned that Wren was training for the wrong reasons after the Great Purge of Mandalore at the end of the Galactic Civil War. Hundreds of thousands were killed in the Purge, including Wren's family. At the time, Tano feared that if Wren unlocked her full potential, she would become dangerous.
When Wren exited the T-6 shuttle's docking rig, she Tano meditating on top of the hull. Tano told Wren her gamble paid off and Wren realized Tano knew about her deal with Skoll. Wren was relieved she managed to find Bridger and Tano replied that may not have happened if Wren chose a different path. Wren was surprised to discover Tano was not mad, but Tano explained she had her share of difficult decisions over the years. Tano then promised to be with Wren no matter what happened next. She then asked if Wren kept up with her training and Wren hesitated but replied she had gained better control over her lightsaber. Tano told Wren being a Jedi is not exclusively about wielding a lightsaber. She advised Wren to train her mind and body, and to trust in the Force.
Thrawn sent two TIE fighters to intercept the Jedi. As Bridger and Tano jumped to the grassy plains holding up the ship with the Force, Wren rushed to the cockpit and joined Huyang. She convinced Huyang to give the engines a short boost for a frontal assault on the TIEs. The shuttle rammed into the starfighters, causing them to crash into the grassy plains. However, the collision also caused the T-6 to crash and be knocked out of commission. Huyang and the Noti began repairs on the shuttle, while Wren, Bridger, and Tano mounted howlers and rode towards Thrawn's forces. As they neared the Great Mothers' Fortress, Thrawn ordered the Chimaera to "rain hellfire on them." The trio evaded the turbolaser blasts and used the Force to open the doors, breaching the Fortress.
Inside the Fortress, Thrawn's Night Troopers ambushed them, but they were all cut down by the three Jedi. However, the Great Mothers reanimated the troopers with their magick, sending the undead troopers after Wren, Bridger, and Tano. The trio escaped the Night Troopers fleeing up the Fortress' stairs, while sealing the doors behind them. Inside a large chamber near the top, they encountered Elsbeth, who now held the Blade of Talzin. Tano instructed Wren and Bridger to go after Thrawn, while she engaged Elsbeth in a duel.
Upon reaching the henge, Wren and Bridger were ambushed by two undead death troopers. One of death troopers survived despite Wren blasting off part of its helmet, revealing its rotting jaw. The trooper removed her helmet, knocked her weapons out of her hands and lifted her up against a pillar with runes. However, Wren used the Force, calling her lightsaber to her, igniting the blade through the trooper, incapacitating it. She then grabbed her blasters and fired at the second death trooper, distracting it long enough for Bridger to behind it with his newly constructed third lightsaber.
Wren and Bridger were unable to reach the Chimaera hangar in time. While two Night Troopers onboard the Chimaera aimed their blasters at Wren and Bridger, Wren proposed she Force push him onto the Star Destroyer and he then do the same, pulling her onto the ship. She pushed him far enough to allow him to grab a ladder and climb up. Bridger shoved one of the Night Troopers off the ship, while Wren shot the other with her blasters. Bridger urged Wren to join him, however she was distracted by Tano's emergence on the henge, as she was pushed out by the undead Night Troopers. After Elsbeth destroyed one of Tano's lightsabers, Elsbeth insisted Tano's friends were dead. Wren opted to help Tano over joining Bridger on the Chimaera. She revealed herself and attacked the Night Troopers with her lightsaber and blaster. Elsbeth was killed in her duel against Tano, while Wren continued to attack the remaining Night Troopers.
As the undead Night Troopers once again arose, Thrawn ordered the Fortress to be bombarded. The Night Troopers pursued Wren and Tano, but they jumped off the edge of the cliff, onto Tano's T-6, with Huyang flying them away from the crumbling mountain. Wren and Tano chased the Eye of Sion and Chimaera out of orbit, but they were too slow. Thrawn informed them victory belonged to him, before jumping to hyperspace. A disappointed Wren and Tano flew back to Peridea, rejoining the Noti caravan. One night, Wren and Tano discussed their journey. Wren was upset, but Tano reminded her they did send Bridger home. Bridger had made it back to Home One, where he was greeted by a shocked Syndulla, Chopper, and several New Republic soldiers. Tano assured Wren that Bridger was where he needed to be and so were them. She then told Wren it was time to move on as they watched the night sky. They then both returned to camp as Anakin Skywalker's Force spirit watched over them.
===Legacy===
By the time of the outbreak of the conflict between the Resistance and the First Order, Sabine Wren was credited by the renowned painter, poet, and intellectual Janyor of Bith with painting several pro-Rebellion and anti-Imperial propaganda posters including a defaced Join poster and Fly For Freedom. However, her authorship of Join the Rebellion was disputed. Historians also speculated that Sabine's work inspired the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order artist Coba Dunivee's Imperial Campaign Poster 34.371.C. This information was published in the book A History of Persuasive Art in the Galaxy.
The artist Gammit Chond was aware of Wren and the Spectres' fight in the early rebellion against the Galactic Empire. He wrote about and illustrated these events in a collection of maps detailing galactic history. The maps were later published by the Graf Archive as the Galactic Atlas.
In 34 ABY, Andressa Divo's son Exantor Divo published Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious, a collection of files over the years of their family's service. He listed a profile on Ketsu Onyo, which included Andressa Divo's message to Kallus regarding Wren and Onyo.
The pirate Maz Kanata recounted stories about Wren on many occasions. She shared tales to visitors to her Takodana campsite at least four times.Star Wars Forces of Destiny: Volume 1Star Wars Forces of Destiny: Volume 2Star Wars Forces of Destiny: Volume 3 She also told one to Hondo Ohnaka, while imprisoned aboard a TUG-b13.Star Wars Forces of Destiny: Volume 4 Her journal, which comprised of stories she planned to share, had an section on Sabine Wren.
Shortly after the Battle of Crait, Wedge Antilles recalled how he was prepared to defect to the Rebellion when he met Sabine Wren at Skystrike Academy while leading a Resistance mission to his old home of Coronet City on the planet Corellia.Resistance Reborn
An individual who went by the name of Krownest was active during the Battle of Batuu. They wore a Nite Owl helmet similar to Wren's, and purchased Bridger's scout trooper helmet from Dok-Ondar.Star Wars: Datapad
In 35 ABY, the Spectres fight against the Galactic Empire was noted in the history book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire.Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire
==Personality and traits==
A free-spirited young woman with an artistic flair, Sabine Wren was driven by a desire to express herself artistically, and a fundamental distaste for following instructions she disagreed with. Despite her frequent feisty and sarcastic quipping, she rarely let personal feelings get in the way of her job and remained focused on the objective at hand, though she still did her job with her unique artistic panache. One of her trademarks was to paint different rebel insignias with her airbrushes when the Spectres carried out their missions.
As an artist, Wren appreciated color and saw artistic license in her explosives. She saw the galaxy as her canvas—everything from her hair and armor to the walls of the Ghost could be improved with bursts of color and an expressive line, and took particular delight in repainting Imperial gear, armor, and vehicles, turning the Empire's dark and drab equipment into expressions of freedom, an act of defiance against the Empire.Forces of Destiny: Tales of Hope & Courage Wren had a practice makes perfect attitude to her art, and so, whenever she was struck by inspiration, she tended to paint on whatever there was at hand, and would work on her art aboard the Ghost during her downtime. A major influence in her works was Janyor of Bith. She also enjoyed compliments and talking about art, though she knew better than to trust Lando Calrissian's silver tongue when he tried to flatter her. Her iconic art style became recognizable to people across the galaxy.
Another art form Wren enjoyed was music, seeing it as an expression of her resistance against the Galactic Empire. Some of her favorites included quenk jazz artists Kain Apollyon and Mooneyes, the Vors Concert of the Winds, Phanuel, DJ Rangthang, Core Drive, and more unusual works like Verpine choral arrangements. She would often play music through her Mandalorian helmet. Around 9 ABY, Wren listened to the the song "Igyah Kah."
Though her training in the Mandalorian warrior traditions (like armor restrictions) were often at odds with her artistic sensibilities, she was proud of her riotously colored armor, which was like a second skin to her, and sometimes forgot she had it on and fell asleep in it. Her armor's breastplate had a starbird painted on it; the legendary creature, which represented her own free spirit and desire to liberate the galaxy from the Empire, had become her symbol and trademark.
She exuded confidence in her combat skills, often facing off against numerous foes with ease. Despite her bravado, she occasionally doubted the possibility of defeating the Empire based on her past as an Imperial cadet. That past, in which a younger Wren had once trusted the Empire implicitly and followed its orders blindly, was marked a nightmarish experience that opened Wren's eyes to the Empire's true nature, and had caused her to despise the Imperial regime. This experience made her instinctively rebel when asked to follow orders unquestioningly. As she grew to dislike secrecy, Wren sometimes let her more juvenile side cloud her better judgment in these matters. She also developed a somewhat callous streak towards Imperial enemies. Although Sabine performed many successful missions for the Rebel cause, she would still experience some nerves before some of their bigger missions. She enjoyed being challenged and found some excitement in her operations. She was notorious for her strength and perseverance. During her academy training, Wren also had a few bad experiences with underwater missions that led her to develop a strong dislike for water; it could also wash away art, which she thought should never be allowed to happen.
Because of her resourcefulness and improvisational gifts, Kanan Jarrus and Hera Syndulla deferred to Wren when to improvise a plan or in case they needed to devise an entire operation, trusting her skills and knowledge. As noted by Ezra Bridger, Wren was something of a loner among the crew of the Ghost, spending a lot of time in her room, and showing a tendency to eat and do combat practice on her own. Although the crew took a long time to all bond, their hostile arguments turned into comfortable disagreements as they went through both good and bad times together. They learned to rely on and trust each other and shared a hope that kept them all going.Alphabet Squadron
Wren was tormented by guilt over her role in helping the Empire to build weapons used to subjugate Mandalore. When she spoke out, her family chose to side with the Empire and cast her out. Unable to cope with her past, Wren found comfort and self-expression in art and graffiti. She initially regarded the Darksaber as an ill omen for bringing nothing but trouble to her family. As a result, Wren was initially unwilling to assume the responsibility and leadership which came with wielding the weapon. With the help of Bridger, Rau, and Jarrus, Wren managed to overcome her fears and to master the weapon. After her trials, Sabine found the inner strength to meet with her estranged family. Despite the hostility of her mother Ursa, Sabine still found the courage to stand up for her beliefs and values. Sabine regarded Gar Saxon as a traitor for his role in murdering the Mandalorian Protectors, whom she regarded as true Mandalorian patriots. Despite her ideological differences with her family, Sabine still respected her parents and her brother Tristan.
Sabine refused to abandon her rebel comrades Kanan and Ezra even though her mother Ursa had tried to trade them with Saxon for the safety of her family. Sabine and her family repaired their strained relationship after Gar Saxon reneged on his deal with Ursa and tried to destroy Clan Wren. Due to Bridger and Jarrus' training, Sabine found the fortitude to take on the Viceroy in single combat. Sabine was also magnanimous in victory and decided to spare Saxon's life. Saxon, however, did not return the favor and tried to shoot her in the back. Seeking to rebuild ties with her family, Sabine elected not to return with Ezra and Kanan to the rebellion. Instead, she dedicated herself to helping Clan Wren to reunite the Mandalorians. While Sabine did not regard herself as Mandalore's new leader, she vowed to help her people find that individual.
Later, Sabine's loyalty to her rebel friends led her to convince her mother, Ursa Wren, and Fenn Rau to lend forces to help the besieged Phoenix Squadron and Massassi Group during the Battle of Atollon. As a warrior, Sabine was familiar with the military strategy and proposed concentrating the Mandalorian attack on the Imperial Interdictor vessel in order to facilitate the rebels' escape.
The older Sabine regretted her youthful idealistic naivety which led her to build the "Duchess", an energy weapon capable of turning the beskar alloy inside Mandalorian armor against their wearers. Seeing the weapon being used to subjugate Mandalore turned her against the Empire. Sabine's desire to atone for her past wrongs led her to lead a joint Mandalorian-rebel mission to destroy the weapon. Sabine's love for her family led her to save her father. Sabine was distraught when she thought that her mother Ursa and brother Tristan had perished at the hands of the "Duchess." While Sabine could be passionate and vengeful towards foes like Tiber Saxon, she chose not to descend to the same level of her enemy at the urging of Bo-Katan. Bo-Katan recognized Sabine's potential as a military leader. In return, Sabine recognized Bo-Katan's leadership qualities and successfully convinced her to assume the Darksaber and the mantle of Mandalorian leadership.
While Sabine, along with Ezra, agreed to help Saw Gerrera in his quest to uncover the Empire's secret weapon, they became disillusioned with Saw's callous disregard for the lives of non-combatants and his determination to achieve results by any means necessary. As a resourceful fighter who planned ahead, Sabine advocated stealing the TIE/D Defender Elite's flight data recorder to aid the Alliance's war effort against the Empire. After losing their escape transport, Sabine proposed recovering the fighter's hyperdrive so that they could use Ryder's U-wing to transport the flight recorder back to the Rebellion.
Sabine was devastated by the death of Kanan and sought revenge against the Empire. However, she came to make peace with Kanan's sacrifice upon realizing that he had helped advance their mission to knock out Thrawn's TIE Defender factory on Lothal. Despite her hatred of the Empire, Sabine acted as a voice of caution and stopped Zeb from pummeling the Noghri Rukh to death. Sabine also maintained a defiant face towards Minister Hydan and was unmoved by his flattery.
After Azadi pretended to betray the Spectres and their rebel allies, Sabine feigned anger at him. Sabine also showed leadership and ingenuity when she devised a plan to reactivate the Dome's shield generators that involved splitting the rebels into two teams. Sabine regarded her fellow Spectres as family and painted a mural of them in honor of their memory. Her bond to Ezra led her to undertake a quest with Ahsoka Tano following the Battle of Endor to bring him home.
===Relationships===
====Ursa Wren====
Ursa Wren was Sabine's mother and the matriarch of Clan Wren. When Sabine, Ezra Bridger, Kanan Jarrus, and the Mandalorian Protector Fenn Rau set out on a mission to Krownest to recruit Clan Wren to help the Rebellion, Ursa was very reluctant to trust her daughter at first due to her past mistakes that had lasting ramifications for Clan Wren and also all of Mandalore. However, after Gar Saxon's betrayal, she changed her mind, shooting and killing Saxon after he tried to shoot Sabine in the aftermath of their duel that saw Sabine defeat him. Ursa then was pleased to have Sabine stay with them even as her Rebel friends returned to their cause. Ursa later went on to assist her daughter in the rescue of her husband, Alrich, which they successfully did with the help of Sabine's Rebel friends, and worked with her and Bo-Katan Kryze in destroying Tiber Saxon's Star Destroyer and the "Duchess" superweapon, allowing her daughter to right her wrongs and destroy the weapon that she had helped create.
====Hera Syndulla====
Viewing the Spectres as her found family of sorts, Wren had Hera Syndulla as a mother figure in her life. Tough at times but also loving, Syndulla was someone who Wren could go to for instruction, guidance, and encouragement. Sabine's sense of comradeship led her to participate in a mission to rescue Hera.
==Skills and abilities==
===Talents===
Though she was first and foremost a free-spirited artist, Wren had been trained as a Mandalorian warrior from an early age, and had extensive expertise and knowledge in weaponry, as well as proficiency in numerous combat skills. A prodigy of sorts, accomplished and acrobatic warrior and saboteur, both Hera Syndulla and Kanan Jarrus had the greatest respect for Wren's skills and trusted her expertise on the inner workings of the Imperial military, a remnant of her past as a cadet at the Imperial Academy on Mandalore. As munitions specialist of the Ghost crew, she maintained and tuned all weapons but her crewmates' lightsabers, but also created many of the explosive devices she and the team used. Sabine claimed to be able to track Ezra Bridger by his smell.
As a demolitions expert, Wren could rig anything to explode, and in a fashion that was not only effective but also artistic. She had the knowledge to manufacture her own explosives, and had enough knowledge of how the chemical elements of explosives worked in conjunction with fuels and even other munitions to create explosions infused with her unique touch. Also trained as an electronics and munitions engineer, she had used such skills to tinker with her twin WESTAR-35 blaster pistols effectively, allowing her to increase their power efficiency and adding other features. She demonstrated enough piloting skills to man a Gozanti-class cruiser, a Lambda-class T-4a shuttle, the auxiliary starfighter Phantom, a Hammerhead corvette, and an Imperial Troop Transport, most of them in non-combat situations. However, onboard the Ghost, she usually served as a gunner.
Calling on her skills as a slicer, Wren used her much-tinkered computer-linked gauntlets to break into the Imperial encryption of Tseebo's implants, and to help Chopper slice into an Imperial transmission system by preparing a data spike. Wren also had some skills as a mechanic, repairing the Ghost or the Phantom when the need arose.
Fluent in several languages, Wren had the ability to learn new languages quickly. Before she left the Academy, she was the fastest cadet to complete the language unit during espionage training. She spoke Galactic Basic Standard, Mando'a, Huttese, Rodian, Aqualish, Binary, and some Shyriiwook. During her days at the Imperial Academy, Sabine used her mechanical talents to build an Arc Pulse Generator known as the "Duchess". However, she turned against the Empire after learning that the weapon was used to subjugate Mandalore. As the creator of the Duchess, Sabine was the only one who could truly master its full potential. Wren was also a competent pilot and was able to land the Phantom II safely on Krownest despite the ship being damaged by enemy fire. Though her brother proved to be more skilled with the weapons, Sabine was also competent when fighting with metal rods against her brother as well as a training saber. 
Sabine was adept at undercover missions due to her Imperial Academy background. She posed as an Imperial pilot and later as a scout trooper during two missions on Lothal. Sabine also used her talent with art to decipher a Lothal Jedi Temple key stone, which was crucial to unlocking a Gateway to the mystical World Between Worlds. On missions, she would frequently take time to paint Rebel starbirds on nearby walls or buildings, a stylized symbol that evolved from her personal signature to the symbol of the Rebel Alliance. Throughout her time with the Rebellion, she painted many Alliance vehicles, including her Joben T-85 speeder bike, the Phantom,Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know the Phantom II, and Hera Syndulla's U-wing. She also was responsible for several important paintings, including the posters Fly For Freedom and Defaced Join and a portrait honoring an iconic New Republic pilot who saved many lives at the Criigo insurrection. While Sabine was a skilled fighter on the battlefield who was able to take out jumptroopers, she also had an appreciation of strategy and devised a successful plan to restart the Dome's shield generator.
===Force abilities===
Though Sabine possessed a connection to the Force, it was initially a far weaker one compared to other force sensitives. At first, she was unable to adequately sense the Force nor use it to move objects. Sabine briefly underwent training with Ahsoka Tano to improve her abilties in the Force, but concerns held by the latter led her to cease her training for a time. After Sabine resumed her training with Ahsoka while setting out to find Ezra and prevent the return of Grand Admiral Thrawn, Wren initially failed to use Telekinesis on two separate occasions, once to try to move a cup and another during her second duel with Shin Hati on Seatos.
However, Sabine was still able to connect and communicate with Ahsoka who had contacted her through the Force. Wren's abilities with the Force gradually improved as she removed her emotional baggage, even more so upon arriving on Peridea and reuniting with Ezra, and later Ahsoka. During their fight to prevent Thrawn's escape, Sabine was able to successfully pull her lightsaber back into her hand with the Force to defeat a Death Trooper and later Force push Ezra, helping him get onboard the Chimaera.
===Lightsaber skills===
Sabine eventually took lessons from Kanan and Ezra in lightsaber combat after she took the Darksaber from Dathomir. While Wren was a skilled fighter, she was initially unable to match the Force powers and experience of Kanan Jarrus at the start of her training. Under Bridger's tutelage, Wren became familiar with lightsaber fighting strokes by sparring with sticks, eventually defeating him. She also learned how to wield the Darksaber against Jarrus' lightsaber during a training session. Due to Jarrus and Bridger's tutelage, Sabine was able to use a combination of Mandalorian gadgets and her lightsaber skills to defeat Gar Saxon and take possession of the Darksaber.
Wren continued to learn about lightsaber combat as Ahsoka Tano's apprentice and, despite her training being cut short, she was still capable of performing the basics when faced with the Force-sensitive mercenary Shin Hati, holding saber locks with Hati before being stabbed by the mercenary. While Sabine resumed her training, she was unable to open her mind, which made it difficult for her to learn other necessary techniques, struggling to sense where Tano was during a sparring session. While she showed some improvement during her other duels with Hati, Sabine was still unable to beat her and needed to use some of her gadgets to survive each duel. This mix of her saber skills and the rest of her Mandalorian weapons proved the most effective when fighting a band of bandits and the Night Troopers.
==Equipment==
===Mandalorian armor and gear===
Wren wore a suit of Mandalorian armor which she heavily customized after leaving Mandalore, no longer being bound by the restrictions placed on armor customization by the Death Watch. She kept the insulating body glove to which the armor bonded, but stripped away much of the rest to give the greatest amount of mobility possible, keeping only the collar armor, ankle plates, breastplate, knee, elbow, and shoulder pads. She also wears a pair of knee-high boots, which kind of look like rain boots/galoshes. The only part of her armor that Wren did not reduce or personalize was the Nite Owls helmet she wore, as she had inherited it; nevertheless, she did upgrade the comlink-incorporated helmet's interior electronics. The headwear retained its traditional targeting viewfinder and macrobinocular viewplate and, though it featured a variety of control interfaces, Wren rarely used them. She did, however, make use of the helmet's holo-imager, using its video and image recording features to capture her artistic efforts.
She also wore a pair of computer-linked gauntlets, but rarely used their weaponized components or her jetpack and rocket pack, equipment used more commonly by the Death Watch. Her pauldrons and helmet were blaster-proof to at least the point that bolts fired from a WESTAR-35 blaster pistol would not penetrate them, as evidenced when Darth Vader deflected two shots from her pistols into her right pauldron and helmet without injuring her. Sabine was adept at using Mandalorian vambraces, equipped with a repulsor, a grappling line, paralyzing darts, a shield projector, a flamethrower, and paired blaster barrels. Sabine's helmet, armor, and jetpack could also operate in zero gravity space.
Wren applied a personalized paint job to each part of her armor based on the color scheme of her inherited helmet. This consisted of a pink color scheme around the time Bridger joined the crew of the Ghost, but changed to include more orange between the Siege of Lothal and her meeting with the clones on Seelos. Consistent throughout both color schemes were an image of an anooba on the left shoulder pad, a black and white dejarik pattern on the right shoulder pad, and a starbird on her breastplate. Other designs included the Aurebesh number five that denoted her callsign Spectre 5, as well as a convor and a fyrnock. By 5 ABY, her newest designs included a rebel starbird on the right shoulder and a purrgil on the left one. On top of the custom paint job, Wren's clothes and armor were often splattered with paint from her most recent project.Ultimate Star Wars
===Blasters and paint tools===
In battle, Wren used a pair of WESTAR-35 blaster pistols that were linked to her helmet's targeting systems. During a fight, her helmet would warn her of low ammo to prevent her running out at an inconvenient time, although the handles of the blasters themselves would pulse as a warning of low ammo if she was fighting helmetless. When not fighting Wren kept the pistols in a pair of nerf-hide holsters around her waist. As with her armor, Wren painted her pistols, although they were both sealed to prevent the paint interfering with the internal systems. Along with the holsters, she kept a backup comlink on her belt.
To make her art, Wren used airbrushes that released a fine pressurized mist of paint, the width, color, and intensity of which she could easily change, and could be configured with her favorite stencils, allowing her to tag things quickly during missions. The airbrushes' dials allowed her to change paint colors, pressure, and the nozzle's focus. Wren's airbrushes were ideal for graffiti art, defacing imperial propaganda, leaving symbolic messages or drawing her signature rebel starbird. She also possessed a deluxe paint sprayer she had converted from a fire extinguisher, which she only used outside due to its large area cover and sensitive trigger. The artist's favorite tools for art though were her explosives, which she personally constructed to release paint or colored explosions, and almost always had detonators on her belt, in her satchel and, sometimes, her pockets. Wren generally found thermal detonators too overpowered for her tastes and much preferred detonate tape. Aside from sprayers and explosives, Wren made use of color sticks and stencils when creating art, also wearing a respirator if working with paint fumes. Furthermore, using modified thermal detonators, she created paint bombs that simultaneously destroyed equipment and vehicles but also covered the area with paint. She regarded Tojnun as an artistic influence.
===Lightsabers and melee weapons===
Wren knew how to fight with a quarterstaff. Under the tutelage of Ezra Bridger and Kanan Jarrus, Sabine learned how to wield the Darksaber; a symbol of Mandalorian power, through the use of lightsaber combat. She would continue to wield the blade until fighting alongside Bo-Katan Kryze, whom she surrendered the blade to as its rightful owner. She went so far as to say the Darksaber only fell under her ownership so she could pass it to Kryze.
After Bridger's disappearance, she would take ownership of his lightsaber, which specifically was the second lightsaber the young Jedi had wielded after his first was destroyed by Darth Vader.Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition Previously, she had experience using the blade against Gar Saxon. Under her ownership, she would modify the weapon to her liking. When she reunited with Bridger, she offered him the weapon back, but he refused and made his own new blade with Huyang's help. As such, Wren retained ownership of the lightsaber.
==Behind the scenes==
===Star Wars Rebels===
Sabine Wren first appeared in the animated television series Star Wars Rebels, voiced by actress Tiya Sircar. Her first name was revealed via tie-in material, while her surname was first revealed in the 148th issue of the Star Wars Insider magazine.
From the Season One episode "Rise of the Old Masters," Wren started to utilize an alternate "Action Gear" character model design in certain episodes and scenes, which lasted all the way up until the end of Season Two. This alternate model introduced more Mandalorian armor elements to her design, which included: wrist-mounted gauntlets and armor plates to her gloves, ammunition strapped to her boots, and a secondary belt with additional pouches. It was revealed at Celebration Anaheim in 2015, that Wren's armor coloration would change for Season Two, as well as her hair color. In the following two seasons, Wren's appearance and armor would change much more drastically, with her paint-splattered gloves being replaced with shorter, fingerless ones; the addition of some new shin guards; and a new shoulder pad design at the beginning of Season Three. As the season progressed, Wren gained a jetpack in the episode "Imperial Supercommandos," and a pair of Mandalorian vambraces in "Trials of the Darksaber" (replacing the original gauntlets she had worn since Season One). These changes to her armor continued through to the end of Season Four, where in the epilogue, her breastplate design was changed. Both seasons and the epilogue featured unique hairstyles and hair colors for Wren, as well as unique paint jobs applied to her armor. Both seasons also continued to utilize two different character models for Wren; one being the armored-up "Action Gear" appearance, and the other being her regular armored-down appearance.
Series creator Dave Filoni wanted Sabine Wren to be more colorful than other Star Wars characters, which was shown by her constantly dyeing her hair. He also wanted her to be a character that kids could get attached to. According to the StarWars.com blogger James Burns, Sabine Wren's name was a reference to the Sabine women from Roman history. This legendary episode in Roman history influenced later Western literature and films, like Stephen Vincent Benét's short story The Sobbin' Women and the 1950s musical Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Burns also confirmed that the Star Wars Rebels director Dave Filoni and producer Simon Kinberg had named Sabine and the other protagonists after historical and Biblical figures to give them a greater sense of purpose and meaning. Her "Ria Talla" alias was originally going to be a Rebel pilot and companion to Jyn Erso in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.The Art of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Filoni set up a further story involving Wren and Ahsoka Tano for the end of the series.
===Ahsoka television series===
At Celebration Anaheim, 2022, it was announced that Sabine Wren will be portrayed by Natasha Liu Bordizzo in the television series Ahsoka. When Bordizzo was shooting the film Day Shift, she filmed a self-tape in which she played a male pilot in a scene from the film Top Gun. In another scene, her character was paid by a lady to help her, and she replied "Hey lady, I've got all these problems, so stop bothering me. All the work is moving south for the winter." Bordizzo was not given any information on what the audition was for. After sending the tape, Bordizzo did not hear anything for a few weeks. Bordizzo later got a call asking if she likes The Mandalorian and she said she did. Months later, Bordizzo met executive producers Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau, and the latter explained that he tried to make the casting process as smooth as possible.
After Bordizzo was cast as Sabine Wren in 2021, Filoni and Favreau told her it would be great if she watched Star Wars Rebels, but they said the live-action version would always be a new thing that finds its own truth. Bordizzo watched Rebels due to feeling obligated, and she found the show to be a free preparation. She had a hard time keeping her casting a secret. Bordizzo and Rosario Dawson, the actress who played Ahsoka Tano, received wushu training from stunt coordinator Ming Qiu.

In the epilogue to Star Wars Rebels that aired as part of the final episode, "Family Reunion – and Farewell," Wren is seen on Lothal in the wake of the Battle of Endor and travels to the Lothal capital, where she visits a mural of the Spectres before leaving with Ahsoka Tano aboard a T-6 shuttle to search for Ezra Bridger.
