Outline

The Ghost crew arrives at a planet to help evacuate anti-Imperial dissidents. They are assisted by another armed freighter that identifies itself as Iron Squadron. Commander Sato explains that Iron Squadron used to be led by his brother, but he was killed in combat, leaving the squadron under the leadership of his headstrong nephew Mart (Zachary Gordon). While the rest of the crew evacuates the dissidents, Ezra and Sabine board Iron Squadron’s ship and meet Mart and his crew. However, they are young and inexperienced, and their hyperspace drive is inoperable. When Thrawn learns of Iron Squadron, he sends a larger force. Ezra, Sabine, and Mart’s crew flee while Mart stays behind to try to fight the Imperials but his freighter is disabled. The Ghost crew and Commander Sato return to rescue Mart, and barely manage to escape Thrawn’s ambush. Now safe, Mart and his friends decide to join the rebels.
