Ghost Crew

```
The crew of the Ghost (known to some as the Lothal rebels or "the Spectres", and sometimes referred to as Ghost team) was a group of rebels who fought against the reign of the Galactic Empire. They were led by Jedi Padawan Kanan Jarrus and pilot Hera Syndulla, and were part of a larger movement organized by Senator Bail Organa and former Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano. They operated out of the VCX-100 Light Freighter, the Ghost.

The group was founded around 10 BBY by Kanan Jarrus and Hera Syndulla on Gorse (Spectre 1 and 2). It also contained Hera's Droid, Chopper (Spectre 3). Following its formation, the crew was joined by Garazeb Orrelios, who was recruited by Kanan shortly after the massacre of Lasan. After Sabine Wren defected from the Empire, she joined the Ghost crew, becoming Spectre-5. They often took jobs that undermined the Empire. Unknown to the members but Hera, they were part of a larger rebellion orchestrated by Ahsoka Tano and Bail Organa.

In 5 BBY, the Ghost Crew met Ezra Bridger, a Lothalite orphan who was strong in the Force. After succeeding in opening the Jedi Holocron Kanan left, Ezra joined the small rebel cell, as Kanan's Padawan and became Spectre 6.

The crew continued to undermine the Empire, operating on the planet of Lothal and took jobs from Fulcrum (who was really Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano. During one of their missions, they encountered agent Kallus of the Imperial Security Bureau and the Grand Inquisitor and uncovered Gall Trayvis was a traitor and only made broadcasts to lure rebel sympathizers. Following this, the Ghost crew decided to send out a message to rally others to their cause. Though Ezra managed to send out a hopeful message, Kanan had been captured, causing the Spectres to rescue Kanan from Grand Moff Tarkin's Star Destroyer over Mustafar, who managed to defeat the Grand Inquisitor. Thanks to Phoenix Squadron, they made their escape. They finally met Ahsoka, who revealed herself to be Fulcrum. Ezra and his friends learned they were a single cell part of a larger Rebellion.

During Season 2, the Crew was integrated into Phoenix Squadron led by Jun Sato. During this time, they had run ins with many, including Hera's father, Cham Syndulla and learning the fates of Ezra Bridger's parents and establishing a base on Atollon. On a mission to Malachor, Kanan, Ezra and Ahsoka encountered Darth Maul,

After suffering from the loss of Ahsoka, Ezra took over as the Jedi leader of missions after Kanan was blinded, where they came into conflict with Grand Admiral Thrawn.

During the last year before the Battle of Yavin, the rebels returned to Lothal, this time to stop Thrawn's TIE Defender project and liberate Ezra's homeworld. On their mission, Kanan was lost in an explosion he held back to protect Ezra, Sabine and Hera after they rescued Hera when she was captured by Rukh. Afterwards, what remained of the Ghost crew later stopped Palpatine from entering the Jedi Temple on Lothal and the world Between Worlds. During the libration of Lothal, Ezra freed Lothal and defeated Grand Admiral Thrawn by having Purrgil take him and Thrawn to parts unknown.

By the end of the war, the Ghost crew went their separate ways. Sabine remained on Lothal to look after the planet to honor Ezra and Zeb went to Lira San with Alexsandr Kallus. They gained a new member, Hera and Kanan's son, Jacen Syndulla.
