Mission to Mustafar (First Order)

A mission was undertaken in 35 ABY by Supreme Leader Kylo Ren and a squad of First Order stormtroopers to collect a Sith wayfinder from Fortress Vader on the planet Mustafar.
==Prelude==
Following an ominous threat of revenge broadcast by the long-deceased Darth Sidious in 35 ABY, Supreme Leader Kylo Ren immediately focused his efforts on eliminating what he perceived as a challenge to his newly obtained power. Guided by the teachings of his former master Snoke regarding the arcane lore of the Sith religion, Ren's course of action centered on travelling to the fiery world of Mustafar, hoping to find artifacts that would aid in his search for the legendary planet Exegol, the hidden world of the Sith.
==The mission==
Supreme Leader Ren was accompanied to the scorched world by both General Armitage Hux and Galactic Civil War veteran Allegiant General Enric Pryde, who would oversee Kylo Ren's onslaught while discussing the nature of Palpatine's alleged broadcast.
Once planetside at Corvax Fen, Kylo Ren and a squad of stormtroopers engaged the Alazmec of Winsit, a devout sect of Sith cultists which worshiped Ren's grandfather, the fallen Sith Lord Darth Vader. The Alazmec sought to defend the castle grounds of Fortress Vader from the First Order's incursion, though they were no match for the Supreme Leader and his elite troops. Fueled by rage and determination, Ren cut down the Alazmec cultists in his path, eventually clearing out the entire group that stood before him and his escort.
Ren continued alone and met the Eye of Webbish Bog. Ren tried to mind trick the symbiotic creature, but it was immune. The Eye then pointed the Supreme Leader toward Vader's Sith wayfinder.
==Aftermath==
Ren located the Sith artifact, and set course for its coordinates—Exegol—aboard his TIE/wi interceptor, seeking to finalize his goal to destroy Sidious and secure his position as the galaxy's sole ruler.
==Behind the scenes==
The mission to Mustafar first appeared in the 2019 film Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker, the third and final installment of the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
Originally, Armitage Hux and Enric Pryde accompanied Kylo Ren to retrieve the wayfinder. While their actors, Domhnall Gleeson and Richard E. Grant filmed the scene, it was cut from the final product. The novelization of the film, however, included this scene.
