The Ghost lies in wait, powered down until spotted by an Imperial probe, which they then pursue and destroy just as a small force of Rebel ships arrive. Only now do Hera, Ezra and Zeb learn their orders: to transport Senator Mon Mothma, who now has a target on her back after speaking out in no uncertain terms against the Emperor’s tyranny, to a remote outer rim planet called Dantooine. There, Mon Mothma intends to transmit a message to the other disparate Rebel cells, inviting them to join an alliance of Rebel groups. The Emperor has naturally dispatched Grand Admiral Thrawn to make sure that Mon Mothma never gets there, and Thrawn has brought a new secret weapon with him.
