Knowing the importance that the Ghost crew had because of their Jedi crew members, Ahsoka organized a fleet of Alderaan Cruisers, made up of members of other cells, and brought them to Mustafar, where they helped the crew escape-with Kanan in tow. They infiltrated the Sovereign when it was in orbit of Mustafar, and the crew's droid, C1-10P, contacted "Fulcrum" for assistance. The Empire had learned about the Rebellion and hoped to extract information about it from Kanan, but Kanan had no information to give them.ĭespite Ahsoka's warnings, the crew set out to rescue Kanan.
Kanan, meanwhile, was taken aboard the Sovereign, the personal Imperial Star Destroyer of Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin. Ahsoka believed that it was the best way to keep Ezra Bridger, Kanan's Padawan, safe, as he was a source of hope. Knowing that the cell could be endangered, Ahsoka urged Hera to take her crew into hiding. The attempt was successful and the message was broadcast to Lothal and to many other planets, drawing the attention of both Ahsoka and the Imperial government. His capture came about after the crew infiltrated the Lothal Communication Tower in order to send out a message of hope to the planet's citizens. Some time later, the leader of the Ghost crew, the Jedi Kanan Jarrus, was captured by the Empire. After the encounter, the crew received missions from Ahsoka, operating as Fulcrum, though only the owner of the Ghost, Hera Syndulla, knew Fulcrum's identity or any information about the Rebellion. R2 recorded much of his time with the crew and, once they were returned to Organa, presented the senator with his recordings.
Organa had sent his two droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, to handle the weapons, and the droids encountered the Ghost crew. One such cell, Ghost Crew came to Organa's attention after they successfully stopped an arms deal involving illegal T-7 ion disruptor rifle. The Rebellion, led by Organa and Ahsoka, founded rebel cells throughout the galaxy and secretly worked to feed them missions to undertake against the Empire while maintaining all cells' low contact between them in order to avoid Imperial crackdown. The Rebellion was loosely formed some time after the end of the Clone Wars, in which Supreme Chancellor Palpatine-secretly Darth Sidious-declared himself Emperor and transformed the Galactic Republic into the Empire.
