Governor Pryce, I bring urgent news.
Of course. Right this way.
Is all this secrecy truly necessary, Grand Admiral?
We still have a traitor in our midst.
We need to be highly cautious about what we discuss
and where we speak.
And what I'm about to say
cannot fall into the rebels' hands.
Admiral Thrawn,
I trust the information you have for me
was worth the wait.
The rebels of the so-called "Phoenix Squadron"
are about to launch a major military strike
against the Empire.
They wouldn't dare.
Oh, believe me, they would.
Everything leading up to this moment has been rehearsal.
The real performance is about to begin.
I'm counting on it.
You have my attention.
What target will the rebels attack?
I believe they're about to strike
our most important facility in the region.
The TIE defender factory right here on Lothal.
My spies report General Dodonna's fleet is en route
to reinforce Commander Sato and Captain Syndulla.
Where is this fleet massing?
I have yet to uncover its precise location.
A coordinated attack by multiple rebel cells
is unprecedented.
And it's exactly this moment I've been waiting for
to wipe them out.
I want you to capture their leadership.
In such a battle,
it may not be possible to take prisoners.
Ah, but a man of your talents will manage.
If we are to crush this rebellion,
we must make examples of its leaders.
As you wish, Governor Tarkin.
She did it. Hera really did it.
Look at everyone. I can't believe they're all gonna help Lothal.
It wasn't just Hera. Oh, I know.
You, too, Kanan. And Zeb and Sabine.
Chopper... less so.
No. That's not what I meant.
I meant you.
Kanan, I... I didn't do any of this.
If not for you guys, I'd be back on Lothal,
just waiting to be rescued like everyone else.
Ezra, you have never been like everyone else.
Hera always saw something special in you,
and so did I.
At times, I was afraid.
Afraid that I couldn't teach you everything you needed to know.
But you did. I've learned so much.
And so have I. We all have.
In fact, sometimes I wonder if I have anything left to teach you.
No. That can't be true.
My own Jedi training was limited.
I don't mean about the Force.
I mean about life, about being a good person.
That's what you've taught me.
Hey, you two. The time to talk is over.
Let's help out.
General Dodonna and the Massassi group will be here any minute.
General Dodonna? That name sounds familiar.
It should. He got those Y-wing bombers we stole.
He commands one of the largest rebel cells I know of.
With him and his fleet, we have a real shot
at taking out the Imperial factories on Lothal.
Commander Sato, there are several ships emerging from hyperspace.
At last, General Dodonna's fleet has arrived.
Phoenix Nest to Vanguard.
Welcome to Atollon, General Dodonna.
Thank you, Commander Sato.
This day has been a long time coming.
Hopefully, we can finally deal a blow to the Empire
and show the rest of the galaxy what we're capable of.
This is Fulcrum with an urgent message.
Thrawn knows about...
"By the light of Lothal's moons."
That is your code phrase, isn't it, Agent Kallus?
Or would you prefer I address you as "Fulcrum"?
I'm afraid your rebel friends won't receive your warning.
Your technique is good,
but limited by your training in the Imperial Academy.
Predictable...
You talk too much!
You have the heart of a rebel.
I'll take that as a compliment.
You may have transmitted your warning, Agent,
but in doing so,
you've given me the last piece of the puzzle.
Now, this is the trajectory of General Dodonna's fleet,
and this is the trajectory of your Fulcrum transmission.
Taken separately, they mean nothing.
But together...
Nothing. There's no planet there.
The rebels are smarter than you give them credit for.
A pity you do not study art, Agent Kallus.
There is much it can show you, if you know where to look.
Such as, a system which does not appear on Imperial charts
but is represented in the art of the ancient people of this sector.
I believe they call this "Atollon,"
now the home of your rebel base.
Admiral Konstantine, deploy the fleet to these coordinates.
We will join you shortly.
We've just received a new transmission from Fulcrum.
This is Fulcrum with an urgent message.
Thrawn knows about...
Thrawn knows? Knows about what?
About the attack on Lothal?
Something's happened.
Most of the Imperial fleet left the system.
What does it mean?
Thrawn knows we're here.
All ships, battle stations!
How can you be certain?
The last time this happened, the Empire ambushed us on Garel.
Commander Sato.
We have Imperial Star Destroyers incoming.
Phoenix fleet, set defense formation Aurek-one!
Alert Rebel Command!
What happened? Where's Ryder?
They're jamming long-range transmissions.
We have to scrub the mission.
We were so close!
Evacuate all ground staff.
We're getting outta here!
All personnel,
code K-one-zero. Evacuate immediately.
All craft, jump to hyperspace.
Regroup at rally point Nova.
I still have people on the surface.
If we wait, they'll cut us to pieces, Commander.
Go. We will cover you.
Signal the other frigates to jump.
Something's pulled them out of hyperspace.
If that is true, there will be no escape for us.
Gravity wells engaged, sir.
All batteries, open fire.
What of Governor Tarkin's prisoners?
General Dodonna is known for his courage.
He wouldn't be aboard the first vessel to flee.
Its crew is therefore irrelevant.
General Dodonna, Commander Sato,
Captain Syndulla.
At last, we meet in this theater of war,
however briefly.
There is no escape,
and your forces are badly outnumbered.
This, uh, "rebellion" ends today.
We'll never surrender to you, Thrawn.
You misunderstand, Captain.
I'm not accepting surrenders at this time.
I want you to know failure, utter defeat,
and that it is I who delivers it crashing down upon you.
Now, let us proceed.
We don't have the strength to meet Thrawn head-on,
but I will get us to safety.
How do you propose we break his blockade?
Thrawn believes this is the entire rebel fleet,
so we just need a big enough opening
to get one ship through.
Once clear of the jamming, they can call for reinforcements
