==History==
The Galactic Empire had long sabotaged the Kubaz's technological advances to keep them from leaving their homeworld of Kubindi. However, at some point following the founding of the Alliance to Restore the Republic in 2 BBY, "Ezra's strength in the Force continues to grow, but so does his recklessness. After the confrontation with Darth Vader on Malachor, Ezra secretly worries if he is powerful enough to defeat the dark side. Now 17 years old, he becomes more daring as the rebel missions become more dangerous. He is rising in status in the Rebellion, and gaining more responsibility." The preceding excerpt confirms that Ezra Bridger is 17 years old during the events of Star Wars Rebels Season Three, following the aforementioned Malachor confrontation, which takes place in Season Two. Given that Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates Bridger's birth to 19 BBY, Season Three must therefore take place in 2 BBY. This includes the Season Three episode "Secret Cargo," which features the founding of the Rebel Alliance. Therefore, the Kubaz must have been deceived into believing that the Alliance had sabotaged their technological advanced by 2 BBY. the Empire deceived the species into believing that the Alliance was the responsible party for the sabotage.
As such, the Empire promised to help the Kubaz gain a foothold in galactic trade and politics. In exchange, fifty-one students, including Garindan ezz Zavor, were chosen from the academies on Kubindi to supposedly study under the Empire as diplomats before returning with accolades to their mates and hives.
Instead, the students were indentured and trained as spies. Meanwhile, the rest of Kubindi's population was enslaved, and an Imperial blockade was installed in the planet's orbit, though the Kubaz themselves were unaware of the Empire's deception. However, Garindan's indoctrination did not take, and, by the year 0 BBY, takes place during the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 0 BBY. he was planning to free his world and fellow Kubaz from the oppression of the Empire.
