Events
During a raid on an Imperial supply column, Garm Bel Iblis noticed several prison ships en route to the Mandalorian sector. Aireen Cracken acted on this information and sent Corran and Iella Horn to investigate. They discovered that the Mandalorian population had been enslaved, and a small resistance led by the Mand'alor Fenn Shysa was fighting back. Seeing an opportunity, Brenn Tantor led a small strike team consisting of Han Solo, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, X2, Judder Page, Basso, Deena Shan, and Shara to support Fenn Shysa, sabotage the Imperial garrison, and remove Imperial influence from the planet. In return, Fenn Shysa promised the elite Mandalorian Protectors to the Rebel Alliance.
