Outline

The Ghost crew makes a supply run to the Twi’lek resistance on Ryloth, only to find out from Cham that under Thrawn’s leadership, the Imperials have begun to seize the upper hand, and have captured their home and converted it into their headquarters. This also means that their “kalikori”, an important family heirloom, is in Imperial hands as well. Determined to retrieve her kalikori, Hera decides to return to her home and infiltrate the Imperial headquarters. She and Ezra sneak into the base while the rest of the crew and Cham distract the Imperial patrols. However, Thrawn predicts Hera’s actions and captures her and Ezra, and decides to keep her kalikori for himself. He then arranges a deal with Cham where Hera and Ezra’s lives will be spared if Cham turns himself in. However, with Chopper’s help, Hera creates a distraction by destroying her home and the Imperial HQ with explosives and everybody escapes on the Ghost. Meanwhile, Thrawn observes the entire event, and impressed with Hera’s ingenuity, decides to let the rebels escape. Back on the Ghost, Hera reassures her crew that even though she was not able to recover her kalikori, the most important thing is that she’s back with her family and friends.
