Outline

Ezra and Kanan return to Lothal to scout the Imperial factory there, intending to destroy it. With the help of a local resistance cell led by Azadi, they manage to infiltrate the factory disguised as workers in order to gain intelligence on a new weapon the Empire is developing. However, Thrawn is also present in the factory and locks it down, suspecting rebel spies are sabotaging the vehicles being made there. Ezra, Kanan, and Chopper manage to steal the weapon data, and are assisted by Kallus, who reveals that he is Fulcrum. The three manage to escape the factory in stolen walkers and get the data to the rebels. After analysing the data, they discover that Thrawn is developing a new type of TIE Fighter: the TIE Defender, which unlike other TIE Fighters, comes equipped with shields. Thrawn deduces that the rebels could not have retrieved the data without help from the inside. However, instead of hunting for the spy, Thrawn decides to wait, intending to use the spy against the rebels.
