**Sakas** was a Mikkian soldier who fought for the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. She was a member of the Pathfinders, an Alliance Special Forces unit commanded by General Han Solo, and fought alongside Sergeant Kes Dameron during the raid at the Wretch of Tayron in the weeks following the Battle of Endor. In the course of the raid, she and Dameron destroyed an All Terrain Scout Transport that, when it crashed, destroyed part of the outer wall along the Imperial Security Bureau base that the Pathfinders were assaulting. As a result, the Pathfinders were able to enter the base, where they hacked into the Imperial network and learned a number of the Empire's secrets—including the commencement of Operation: Cinder, a potentially-devastating Imperial attack carried out against a number of planets in the galaxy.

## Biography

### Pressing the Offensive

**Sakas** fought as a soldier in the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War, in which the Alliance fought to overthrow the Galactic Empire. Nearly three weeks after the Battle of Endor, the battle in which the Alliance delivered a devastating blow to the Empire by destroying its Death Star II super weapon and defeating Emperor Palpatine, Sakas served with the Pathfinders, an Alliance Special Forces unit under the command of General Han Solo, in a raid on an Imperial Security Bureau black site at the Wretch of Tayron, located in the Outer Rim Territories. Before the raid commenced, the Pathfinders took different positions throughout the area. Sakas was positioned with Sergeant Kes Dameron on a ridge overlooking the base, where they prepared to fire amissile at the base. Once all teams reported they were ready to commence with the attack, Solo gave the order to fire. Dameron fired the missile at an All Terrain Scout Transport inside the base's walls, which exposed an opening when the walker crashed through and destroyed a section of the wall.

### Hacking into the Imperial Network

Sakas and Dameron, who reported to Solo that an entrance was exposed, charged through the breach and opened fire on the Imperial forces they found inside. Together, they took out several Storm Troopers, scout troopers, and a 74-Z speeder bike. Dameron was nearly cornered by a scout trooper, and Sakas called out to warn him of the impending attack. The sergeant was saved by the timely arrival of Chewbacca, General Solo's Wookiee companion. Solo and the rest of the Pathfinders arrived soon thereafter, and the team assembled to wait for their protocol droid, C-3PO, whose job it was to hack into the Imperial computers. Once the droid arrived, the Pathfinders entered the base and fought their way through Imperial forces. They confronted the base's commander, who attempted to flee to the base's computer network so he could wipe their data before the Rebel team got to it. Once confronted, however, the commanding officer offered his surrender and the Pathfinders secured the base.

### Learning of Operation Cinder

Sakas was present in the command center when Threepio hacked into the computers and uncovered Imperial secrets, including the launch of Operation: Cinder—an Imperial contingency order that targeted a number of planets in the galaxy as retribution for the Emperor's death. The actions of Sakas and the Pathfinders at the Wretch of Tayron gave the Alliance the chance to fight against Operation: Cinder and stop the Imperial attacks when they were unleashed, including on the Emperor's homeworld of Naboo. Years later, Dameron told the story of how he and Sakas raided the base to his son, Poe Dameron.
