"The Empire…" A male human miner with light skin brown eyes and brown hair from the Outer Rim planet of Ibaar said as he sighed as a hologram of him appeared on the Ghost's communication's system as the Ghost traveled through Hyperspace with a corvette and two A-wings, "...has doubled our work quotas and cut our rations. Without your food drop… the weakest among us will starve."
"Stay strong, my friend. We'll be there soon," Kanan reassured the miner.
"You have our deepest gratitude, Phoenix Squadron," the miner told them as the Ghost, corvette and the two A-wings jumped out of Hyperspace and began to approach the planet of Ibaar, "Our underground network is standing by at the drop zone to distribute…"
"The transmission is being jammed," Sabine announced from the Ghost's computer system as the miner's transmission suddenly went static before Chopper grunted a response.
"Looks like the Empire came out to welcome us," Hera said as she saw multiple Imperial Light Cruisers and Gozanti-Class Cruisers blockading the planet.
"Attention, rebel convoy. This system is under Imperial control. Stand down or be destroyed," Agent Kallus ordered Hera and the other rebels from one of the Imperial Light Cruisers.
"What a surprise. Agent Kallus," Zeb remarked sarcastically as he sat in the seat behind Kanan in the Ghost's cockpit, next to Satele.
"I'll give him this, he's persistent," Hera said, agreeing with Zeb before speaking into the Ghost's communication's system, "Phoenix Leader, your pilots ready?"
"As ready as we'll ever be, Captain Syndulla," Phoenix Leader replied from his A-wing, "All fighters, attack formation."
With that said two A-wings deployed from sides of the corvette as they went into their attack formation
"Deploying fighters," a man on the bridge of the Imperial Light Cruiser said, causing Kallus to nod in confirmation.
And with that said as well, four TIE fighters stationed on the magnetic clamps below the Imperial Light cruiser deployed as they went to intercept the A-wings.
"Just handle those TIEs, Phoenix Leader," Hera told Phoenix Leader.
"We'll cover you, Ghost," Phoenix Leader reassured her, "Start your run."
"Zeb, bandit at 270," Hera informed the lasat who ran to one of the Ghost's gun turrets as the Ghost and the corvette began to fly towards Ibaar.
"I see him," Zeb said as he sat in the seat of the Phantom's cannon and began to fire the Phantom's cannons on the incoming TIE fighters, "Karabast!"
"Satele, coming in at point three," Hera told Satele as she sat in the Ghost's nose gun and fired lasers from its laser cannons and as Hera said that Satele destroyed the TIE fighter, "Kanan, two marks at 185." Kanan destroyed one of the TIE fighters from the Ghost's rear cannon turret before going after the one that was about to scoop back around.
"This is Transport 1. We're taking heavy fire!" One of the transport ships said on the Ghost's communication's system as the Imperial Light Cruiser's turbolasers fired at the ship.
"Stay on course, Transport 1," Hera urged the pilot of transport 1 as Sabine sat next to her in the Ghost's co-pilot's seat.
"Concentrate your fire on that transport," Kallus ordered the Imperial technicians operating the Imperial Light Cruiser's turbolasers as he stood behind them, "That cargo will not get past us." And With that said Kallus smiled as the Imperial Light Cruiser's turbolasers began to fire on the Corvette.
"Losing forward deflectors," the pilot of transport 1 announced on the Ghost's communication's system.
"We're almost through!" Hera told the pilot of transport 1.
"We're not gonna make it!" The pilot of transport 1 yelled as the corvette continued to get more and more damaged from the Imperial Light Cruiser's turbolasers, "We're not gonna make it!"
"No!" Hera yelled in disbelief.
"Captain Syndulla!" The pilot of transport 1 yelled.
"No!" Hera yelled yet again, knowing that the transport was about to be destroyed and as she closed her eyes as she knew the inevitable outcome of the transport as it was destroyed.
"We lost the transport. We lost the transport," another pilot announced on the Ghost's communication's system as Hera opened her eyes back up.
"All ships, abort! Abort!" Hera ordered as she turned the Ghost around in the other direction as the ship flew past the Imperial Light Cruiser with Kallus watching her fleeing the area.
"We have to get out of here!" Phoenix Leader said as his A-wing along with another followed the Ghost as two TIE fighters followed them and fired their laser cannons at Phoenix Leader's A-wing with it being destroyed within seconds of firing upon his A-wing with him screaming as the remnants of his A-wing spiraled out of control.
"We lost Phoenix Leader," one of the A-wing pilot's said on the Ghost's communications system as they contacted the Ghost, "They're cutting us to pieces!"
"Set heading 267. All ships, jump now!" Hera ordered as the Ghost jumped to Hyperspace with the other ships doing the same as they jumped to Hyperspace as well.
"We must finish the mission," Hera stated as she, two A-wing pilots, Kanan and Sato stood at a holographic table in the debriefing room on board Sato's command ship, "If we try again with our two remaining transports I know I can get at least one through."
"We don't have much time," Kanan reminded her as Rex approached the holotable next to Sato, "The people of Ibaar won't last another rotation without our help."
"I agree we must try," Sato said, agreeing with them, "But our entire fleet is no match for that blockade."
"There is an alternative," Rex said as he suddenly spoke up as he walked around the table, "I've been in contact with an engineer who has no love for the Empire and who claims to have built a prototype heavy assault starfighter a blockade buster."
"What's the problem?" Kanan asked, "Let's get it."
"Shipmaster Quarrie will only discuss his ship in person on the planet Shantipole," Rex answered as he stood between Kanan and Hera.
"Shantipole?" One of the pilots repeated with disbelief.
"Every pilot in the galaxy knows that's a one-way trip," another pilot added.
"Hera will go," Kanan told them.
"Kanan, no," Hera said, declining, "I… I've got to lead the next run on the blockade."
"If that fighter gives us a better chance to help Ibaar, we have to get it. And no one else is volunteering to go, but I know you will," Kanan explained before turning to Sato, "What do you say, Commander?" Sato nodded in confirmation before Kanan looked back at Hera.
The Ghost departed from Sato's command ship within moments and headed to the planet of Shantipole, which from space looked like a Gas Giant but that's only from it's violent atmosphere on the planet with Sabine and Zeb climbing up the ladder that leads to the Phantom.
"I can't believe you volunteered me for this reckless mission," Hera told Kanan, "After what happened, the fleet needs me now more than ever."
"True, the fleet needs a solution, but one that neither you nor Agent Kallus are able to see," Kanan said as he agreed with her.
"Oh. Are we talking in riddles now? Is that it?" She asked him.
"Fine," Kanan sighed, "You want me to spell it out for you? We can't beat that blockade not without a better ship, with better firepower and the best pilot at the controls."
"Even if this ship turns out to be everything we hope it is, I still might not make it back in time to help," Hera told him as she placed her hand on one of the steps of the ladder.
"Then you better hurry," Kanan told her as he left her and with that said Hera walked up the ladder and sat in the Phantom's control seat before detaching it from the Ghost as it's wings unfolded and began to pilot it towards the Gas Giant.
"So, I guess that makes me copilot," Satele said from behind Kanan as they watch Hera, her twin sister and Zeb fly towards Shantipole on the Phantom before sitting in the seat next to him and spinned around in the chair with her arms behind her head as Chopper grunted at her and turned to him, "I called it, I'm in the chair, I'm copilot." As she said that Chopper started grunting before going to attack Satele with his arms to which she grabbed and turned to Kanan, "Kanan, would you tell him I'm copiloting?"
"You're co-irritating me, both of you," Kanan told her, "Now strap in. We've got to pick up the last of the supplies with or without Hera."
As he said that, Kanan pressed buttons on the dashboard as Chopper grunted, causing Satele to pound on his dome, causing Chopper to grunt at her angrily and as that happened, the Ghost turned around before jumping into Hyperspace.
"Well, I did a bit of research on why it's so hard to land here," Hera told Sabine and Zeb as she flew the Phantom into Shantipole's atmosphere.
"And?" Both Sabine and Zeb asked at the same time.
"The upper atmosphere is tricky," Hera answered.
"Tricky how?" Sabine asked her.
"You can get through it but your craft never seems to maintain its power," Hera explained.
"Whoa. What does that mean?" Zeb asked with confusion, "I don't know what that means."
"It means no power, no flying. just falling," Sabine explained to Zeb.
"Could've mentioned this before I got on board!" Zeb told Hera in a tone that sounded like he was yelling at her.
"You wouldn't have come!" Hera told him.
"Ow," Sabine said as a bolt of lightning struck the Phantom as it was flying through the planet's atmosphere and as this happened, the shuttle's alarms went off. The Phantom soon flew down going into a nosedive, accelerating towards a canyon that was full of high pointed rocks, Hera gasped as she saw this and steered away from the rocks. "Whoa," Sabine cried as the Phantom moved upside down as they continued to pass through the canyon before moving it back right side up.
"Wait. Was that a ship? That was a ship!" Zeb yelled as he noticed a ship embedded into one of the high pointed rocks as they passed it by.
"That was your imagination," Hera told him before the Phantom hit one of the high pointed rocks as they neared a landing platform nearby, "There! The landing field."
"Is that your imagination?" Zeb asked.
"You better hope not," Hera replied as she piloted the Phantom towards the landing pad, "Brace for landing!"
With that said, the Phantom landed on the landing pad, skidding across the platform as Hera pulled the Phantom's steering wheel like device towards her before stopping at the edge of the platform.
"Am I dead?" Zeb asked as he felt that the Phantom had stopped before standing up, "I don't smell dead." He stepped forward, causing a creaking sound as the Phantom to tilt downwards, "Uh-oh."
"Zeb!" Hera called before standing up and approached him as she pushed him towards the back of the Phantom, "Zeb, get to the back of the ship!"
The three of them stood at the back of the Phantom, causing the ship to tilt back upwards as the Phantom's rear hatch suddenly opened, causing the three of them to fall out of the Phantom's rear hatch onto the landing platform and landed in front of a small old Mon Calamari, who stood a few feet away from them.
"Who are you?" The Mon Calamari asked them.
"You're Quarrie, right?" Hera asked the Mon Calamari, "Captain Rex sent us."
"Ah. You're here about my ship," Quarrie realized as an astromech used a forklift to pull the Phantom up from falling off the edge of the landing platform.
"Any landing you can walk away from is a good one," Hera told him.
"After a good landing, you can still fly the ship," Quarrie said, making a gesture of a ship flying with one of his hands.
"Yeah. You know this is a terrible place for ships," Hera told the Mon Calamari.
"But the perfect place to test them. If it can fly here, it can fly anywhere," Quarrie explained, "And it's also the last place the Empire would look." He then gestured to them to follow him, "Come. Let's get out of this wind." As Quarrie said that, Hera, Sabine and Zeb followed the Mon Calamari to a hanger as he began opening the hanger, "Pardon the mess. I don't get many visitors. Most of 'em crash." He then finished opening the hangar and began approaching his ship, "There she is. What do you think? I call it the Blade-wing."
"Uh… that's a ship?" Zeb asked with confusion, "Is it upside down?"
"Looks like it's been through a garbage masher," Sabine added.
"Oh, this is one of my most advanced designs. Fast, agile, a narrow attack profile. And it packs a punch. High intensity blasters, ion cannons and proton torpedoes," Quarrie told them as he explained to them his ship's features before pointing at the ship's large cannon.
"Great. I can't wait to take it out. The fleet really needs this," Hera told Quarrie.
"The fleet, huh?" Quarrie said, turning around before walking out of the hanger, "What makes you think she's yours just for the taking?"
"I can't believe that old carp isn't gonna let you fly his ship," Zeb told Hera as she sees if she could repair the Phantom, "You ask me, he's been out of the water too long."
"I can't fix the Phantom, not with the spare parts we have on board," Hera announced.
"And more good news," Sabine said as she approached them, "Our comm system's fried. We can't contact the Ghost."
"So we're stuck here. Perfect," Hera said sarcastically as she stood back up.
"I noticed your aft stabilizer is cracked," Quarrie told Hera as he approached them transporting spare parts that the Phantom needed on a loading dolly, "What else do you need?"
"Power bus relay, a flux converter, some plasma conduit," Hera answered.
"BeeGee will get you sorted," Quarrie said, referring to his astromech droid that was following him who grunted as the droid approached Hera.
"Thank you," Hera told the droid who grunted as he moved away to get what they needed with Sabine and Zeb following, as Hera turned to Quarrie, "Look. If I don't fly your ship, who will?"
"I've waited a long time for the right pilot," Quarrie said, turning around to look at her before walking away, "I can wait longer."
"Report," Kallus requested a hologram of an Imperial officer that appeared on the holocommunicator within the bridge of the Imperial Light Cruiser that he was on that was also blockading Ibaar.
"We have cut off all remaining rations from the Ibaarian people," the Imperial officer reported, "There are a few holdouts in the mountains who have been in contact with the rebel fleet."
"Have no fear, Commander. Their spirit will break soon enough," Kallus reassured the Imperial officer.
"What of the rebel fleet?" The Imperial officer asked him.
"Oh, they will return," Kallus told him, "They can't resist helping people in need, which will be the last mistake they make."
"You know, you didn't have to drag us all the way out here. Could've just transmitted the plans to Rex," Hera told Quarrie as she was repairing one of the Phantom's thrusters with a wrench in her hand.
"Why would I hand over my ship to just any pilot?" Quarrie asked her as he began to help her repair the Phantom's other thruster.
"Would any pilot risk their life to come to this death trap?" Hera asked him.
"Perhaps not," Quarrie answered, "So why did you?"
"I was a little girl when the Clone War came to Ryloth. My mother, Eleni hid us below ground but I'd peek out when the Republic ships flew over as they fought to liberate my world. I dreamt of nothing more than to be up there with them," Hera explained to him.
"So, you left your family to fight?" He asked her as she stood up and turned around from the Phantom as she removed the wrench from the thruster that she was repairing.
"I left my family so I could fly," she said, correcting the Mon Calamari.
"As a combat pilot," Quarrie added.
"If we want freedom, we must make difficult choices," Hera resonated as she began to explain her actions of being a combat pilot to him after she turned back towards him, "I chose to leave my family, I chose to learn to fly and then I chose to use that ability to help others in need. But it's rooted in something I can't explain…" She then turned back around and looked up at Dactillions flying in the sky, cawing as she waved her hand across the sky at the Dactillions, "A need to be up there. Because even when there are explosions all around me and things are at their worst I feel like I'm at my best."
"We've wasted enough time. There are beings in need of help...and my ship is in need of a pilot," Quarrie told her as he walked away from the Phantom's other thruster, causing Hera to smile as he relented on allowing her to pilot his ship.
"I don't understand why we're loading the Ghost up with the food supplies," Satele told Kanan as she reentered the Ghost's cockpit as the ship approached a Gozanti-Class Cruiser as it began to pick up the food supplies for the people of Ibaar.
"Well, I thought Hera would be back by now. But when she went out there, there was never a guarantee she'd be back in time. So we're making the run," Kanan explained to Satele as he crossed his arms.
"Wait. We're transporting the supplies in the Ghost? That'll make us the Empire's primary target," Satele told him as she sat down next to him in the Ghost's co-pilot's seat.
"Yeah, but the Ghost is smaller and faster so, with any luck, we'll just slip right by," Kanan told her.
"You actually believe that?" Satele asked him with disbelief.
"It makes me feel better when I say it," he told her before some of the buttons above him and around the cockpit's dashboard, "Besides, we gotta feed those people. Now are you in?"
Back on Shantipole, the Blade-wing was getting ready to fly as it moved out of its hangar with Hera in the ship's cockpit as she placed a face plate-like object over her face that made it look like she was wearing a helmet that had holes in the back for her lekkus over her head before pressing buttons next to her in the cockpit.
"You're lucky to have her as your pilot," Zeb told Quarrie as he and Sabine approached the Mon Calamari.
"How many times have you flown it?" Sabine asked Quarrie.
"Me? Oh, I don't fly. Too dangerous," Quarrie answered, "But theoretically, it should fly."
"Theoretically?" Both Zeb and Sabine repeated at the same time.
"Better to be down here wishing I was up there than up there crashing back down," Quarrie added.
"If that ship crashes, I'll toss you over the side and see how well you fly!" Zeb threatened as Quarrie gave Hera a thumbs up who gave a thumbs up in response. The Blade-wing then lifted up above the platform and the Blade-wing's landing gear retracted back into itself as Hera pulled a lever forwards, causing the ship's thrusters to accelerate forward before the ship went falling.
"Hera!" Both Zeb and Sabine cried out in fear and horror before running over to the edge of the platform, where the Blade-wing fell, to see the ship, but couldn't see it for a few seconds until they saw it fly above them before the ship's S-foil wing opened.
"Yes!" Sabine and Zeb both cried as they both laughed with delight as the Blade-wing flew alongside a couple of Dactillions.
"Let's see what this beast can do," Hera said as she activated the Blade-wing's thrusters as it flew upwards, "Definitely not a freighter," Soon she flew the Blade-wing back down and flew between the high pointed rocks, "That's it." She then turned the ship in the opposite direction and flew past Quarrie's landing platform as Zeb, Quarrie and Sabine watched from within Quarrie's workshop.
"Masterful," Quarrie commented on his ship that was being flown by Hera.
"Commencing weapons test," Hera said as the Blade-wing flew by the ship that Zeb noticed embedded within one of the high pointed rocks and started firing at it with the Blade-wing's weapons, "I was kind of hoping your ship packed more of a punch, Quarrie."
"Did you pull the big lever on your right?" Quarrie asked her through the comm.
"No," she answered.
"Try again," He said, and with that said she pulled the level on her right, causing four lasers from four sections of the ship, from the top and bottom of the S-wing as well as the cockpit and the ion cannon, the four lasers converged on each other before hitting the ship that was embedded within the high pointed rock before he began to cheer, "Yay, I told you."
Hera exhaled with relief as she landed the Blade- wing onto the landing platform, the S-wing closed as the ship landed, Hera immediately jumped out as the ship landed completely with Quarrie, Zeb and Sabine nearby on the landing platform, in front of her.
"Your ship certainly has the firepower we need but the targeting system could use some work," Hera told the Mon Calamari.
"I've got some ideas," Sabine suggested as she stepped forward.
"No, no. That's my ship, young one," Quarrie told Sabine before looking at her, "Just what do you think you're doing?"
"Never get between a Mandalorian and a weapons package," Sabine told him before BeeGee started grunting as he approached Hera and turned towards the Phantom telling them that someone was contacting the Phantom as it's communication's system had been repaired and as they heard a chiming sound from it's communication's system as well.
"It's Kanan. He'll want to hear about our success," Hera told everyone as she removed the face plate-like object from her face and handed it to Zeb.
"It has speed, maneuverability and weaponry. This ship is exactly what the rebellion needs," Hera told Kanan on the Ghost's holocommunicator in the cockpit as he piloted the Ghost as they flew through space with a couple of corvettes and A-wings as Satele helped him co-pilot the Ghost.
"That's great news, Hera," Kanan told Hera.
"Kanan, they're starting," Satele told Kanan as she saw the corvettes and A-wings jump to Hyperspace.
"What's going on?" Hera asked them.
"The Ibaarians contacted us. They're at their breaking point " Kanan answered before sighing, "We can't wait any longer. Sato's ordered the second attack on the blockade."
"We need to get moving," Hera told everyone as she exited the Phantom, "The second attack is about to commence."
"Well, we've got a problem," Sabine told her, "The energy drain from the multi-cannon firing system killed the Hyperdrive."
"In basic, please," Zeb sighed, not understanding what she meant.
"The weapons work, but we've got no lightspeed," Sabine groaned as she explained it to Zeb.
"Well, that has been a problem," Quarrie told them.
"It's been a problem?" Hera repeated as she walked towards the Mon Calamari, "You… You mean you knew about this?"
"What did you expect for a prototype?" Quarrie asked her, "There are all sorts of adjustments that need to be made. For instance, I don't even like this paint job so much."
"Come here, fish face," Zeb said as he dropped the box shaped container he was carrying down and grabbed Quarrie, "I want to see if you fly."
"What the…" Quarrie muttered as he was startled from Zeb grabbing him.
"Hang on. Hang on, Zeb Easy," Hera pleaded with Zeb who then dropped Quarrie onto the box as she looked over Quarrie from above, "There must be a way to solve this."
"Oh, it's a shame I had BeeGee install that other Hyperdrive on the Phantom," Quarrie admitted.
"You what?" Hera asked him with confusion.
"I don't like seeing a ship that can't fly," Quarrie explained as he sat up, "During the repairs, I upgraded it. Because if you don't have a Hyperdrive, you can't fly far."
"You beautiful, crazy Mon Calamari!" Hera said before giving him a quick hug, "That's the answer to our problem."
"What? What's the answer?" Quarrie asked her with confusion as Sabine and Zeb also gave her a confused look.
"Sir, enemy ships are approaching from sector nine," one of the Imperial navigational officers informed Kallus from the Imperial Light Cruiser as Kallus stood behind him.
"Scan the rebel ships," Kallus ordered, "The one which carries the relief supplies will be our primary target."
"Initiating scan now, sir," another navigational officer said as he initiated a scan on the rebel ships that were approaching them.
"Command ship, I'll follow your lead," Kanan said on board the Ghost as the Corellian VCX, corvettes and A-wings jumped out of Hyperspace near the planet of Ibaar, "Hopefully we can break through their line and make a run for the surface."
"Whose idea was this again?" Satele asked him, causing Chopper to grunt as he took one of his hands out of his dome.
"Sir, comscan has identified the Corellian VCX as the supply transport," one of the Imperial Light Cruiser's navigational officers informed Kallus.
"Of course," Kallus stated, knowing what ship the Corellian VCX was, "Commander, focus all fire on the Ghost."
With that said, the Imperial Light Cruiser began to fire upon the rebel ships with its turbolasers.
"Fighter incoming," one of the rebel pilots in the A-wings said as TIE fighters flew towards them.
"Rex, keep those TIEs off our back!" Kanan ordered Rex, who was also on the Ghost as well as he hopped onto the seat of the Ghost's nose gun.
"Workin' on it!" Rex said as he rotated the cannon around and began firing the cannon as one of the TIEs flew towards the Ghost shooting at it only for its laser cannons to only hit the Ghost's hull before flying back around.
"Better pick up the pace. The cruisers are closing the gap!" Kanan yelled into the Ghost's communication's system as the Ghost continued to head towards the planet with a Corvette in front of them as well as behind them for protection as the Imperial Light Cruiser continued to fire at the Ghost.
"We're cut off!" Satele cried.
"I'm gonna swing around and try from another direction," Kanan said.
"Stay on course, Ghost," Hera suddenly said over the Ghost's communication's system, "I'll knock that cruiser out of your way." As Hera said that the Blade-wing jumped out of Hyperspace with the Phantom carrying it as Hera had the face-plate that made it look like she was wearing a helmet back over her face, "Turn me loose, Phantom."
"Say hello to Kallus for me," Zeb told her as he piloted the Phantom with Quarrie standing next to him.
"Oh, we will. If there's anything left of him," Sabine told him from the Blade-wing as the Phantom let go of the Blade-wing before the Blade-wing's S-wing opened as it headed towards the Imperial Light Cruisers.
"Sir, rebel reinforcements have arrived. One shuttle and one ship of unknown design," one of the navigational officers reported to Kallus as they turned to him.
"I would hardly call that reinforcements," Kallus told him, thinking nothing of the Phantom and the Blade-wing.
"You boys better give me some room," Hera told every single rebel pilot as the Imperial Light Cruisers continued to fire their turbolasers at the rebel ships.
"You heard the captain," Kanan said on the Ghost's communication's system as he flew the Ghost out of the way as did every other rebel ship.
"Sabine, we'll get only one shot at this," Hera told Sabine.
"Then it's a good thing you trust me," Sabine replied before the Blade-wing flew closer to one of the Imperial Light Cruisers as they continued to fire their turbolasers at the Blade-wing.
"Sir, the unidentified ship is taking the lead," the navigational officer reported to Kallus, "It's moving into attack position off our starboard side." As he said that Kallus' eyes widened with fear as he had a feeling what the ship he'd never seen before was going to do.
"Steady. Steady!" Hera said as she flew the Blade-wing closer towards the Imperial Light Cruiser as the Light Cruiser fired upon the ship.
"A little closer," Sabine told her.
"Fire!" Hera ordered and as she said that Sabine pressed a button on the control stick that fires the ship's weapons, causing the Blade-wing's multi-cannon to fire at one of the Imperial Light Cruisers, destroying it instantly.
"That's impossible," Kallus muttered to himself as he watched in shock as the Blade-wing destroyed the other Imperial Light Cruiser.
"That's a piece of art," Satele said as she saw the explosion from the Imperial Light Cruiser as it blew up.
"We're clear! Going in," Kanan said as he started to fly the Ghost towards the planet.
"We'll hold off any pursuit once you've made the jump out," Hera told him from the Blade-wing.
"We'll meet you back at the rendezvous," Kanan told her.
"Ok. So, maybe it's not such a hunk of junk after all," Zeb told Quarrie as he continued to pilot the Ghost as the Mon Calamari laughed before softly punching him on the shoulder.
"We're over the drop zone now," Kanan said as the Ibaarian human miner reappeared on the Ghost's holocommunicator within the Ghost's cockpit as the Ghost entered the atmosphere of Ibaar, "Releasing cargo."
Satele looked at Chopper, who grunted as he had his scomp link connected with the cockpit's astromech port and turned his dome around with his arms out before multiple containers were released from the Ghost's magnetic lock and floated down to the surface.
"We've recovered the drop," the miner told them on the holocommunicator as his fellow Ibaarians grabbed the containers on the holocommunicator, "Thank you Phoenix Squadron. You've saved us. You've saved us all."
"You're welcome," Kanan told him with assurance before flying the Ghost back into space as the Ghost flew out of the atmosphere of Ibaar.
"We have confirmation the drop was successful. Let's go home, Phoenix Squadron," Sato said on the Communications's system of every rebel ship as the Corvettes, A-wings, the Phantom and Blade-wing were leaving Ibaar's blockade as TIE fighters were chasing them, Hera and Quarrie looked at each other from both ships as they reattached to one another as every rebel ship jumped into Hyperspace as Kallus watched from his Imperial Light Cruiser with a facial expression that looked like one of anger but mixed with worry.
Quarrie and BeeGee were walking in front of Kanan, Satele and Zeb within the docking bay as they walked down the docking bay's ramp towards Sato, Hera and Sabine, who stood at the end of the docking bay as the Ghost docked with Sato's command ship after the Phantom reattached itself to the Ghost.
"It seems Senator Organa has found a ship works sympathetic to our cause and willing to manufacture more of these B-wings in secret," Sato told Quarrie.
"Project Shantipole will continue under my supervision, of course. There are many adjustments that need to be made," Quarrie told him as he walked past him.
"Quarrie, thanks to you and your ship we helped many people today," Hera told Quarrie as he walked past her.
"I just hammered it together, young pilot. You made it soar," Quarrie told Hera as he turned to her as he and BeeGee entered Sato's command ship as he made a gesture of flying with his hand.
"Indeed. Your heroics are unparalleled, Captain Syndulla. That is why I agree with Kanan's recommendation," Sato told her as she turned back around towards him.
"Your recommendation? What have you done now?" Hera asked Kanan with confusion as he stepped forward a bit.
"Just listen to the commander," Kanan urged her as he crossed his arms.
"You are to be promoted to Phoenix Leader. Our fighter pilots will benefit greatly from your expertise," Sato explained before giving her a salute followed by Zeb, Sabine and Satele as they gave her a salute as well.
"Good job, Captain Hera," Kanan told her as he saluted her for a few seconds, causing her to salute him back.
