| 19 | !!Rebel Cells |
| 20 | |
| 21 | ->''"We are building an Alliance; this is our Rebellion."'' |
| 22 | -->--'''Senator-in-exile Mon Mothma''' |
| 23 | |
| 24 | The rebel cells were various pockets of resistance that began popping up in response to the oppression of the Galactic Empire prior to the actual beginning of the Galactic Civil War. While many of these groups were unorganized, many of them banded together, eventually forming the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Others were destroyed by the Empire long before any hope of organized galactic resistance was a possibility. |
| 25 | ---- |
| 26 | |
| 27 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 28 | * TheAlliance: The cells don't start really joining together until about two years before the destruction of the first Death Star, shortly after Senator Mothma goes into exile for publicly calling out Palpatine. Most rebel cells were isolated and fighting on their own (and some weren't even aware that there ''were'' others fighting, too) until Ezra's speech a couple of years before Mothma's callout is broadcast throughout the Galaxy, followed up by Rebel High Command realizing that they need to help rescue Kanan over Mustafar to further prove their point that rebellion ''is'' possible against the Empire. |
| 29 | * BlackAndGreyMorality: Some of the resistance cells operate in an often less-than-heroic fashion, hitting targets with civilians working at them or going for maximum casualties against the Empire without any real thought of the consequences. Case in point, the Partisans were looked down on for being off the deep end, but ''they'' thought the rest of the Alliance were too unwilling to cross any lines, so they broke off from them by the time of ''Rogue One''. That being said, the vast majority of the resistance is firmly moral. |
| 30 | * HitAndRunTactics: Even moreso than the actual Rebel Alliance, as these groups had less soldiers and resources to work with. |
| 31 | * RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Think the Rebel Alliance, only much less organized. In ''Rebels'', this is the point, as it keeps any one cell from compromising the whole rebellion. In the season one finale, the various groups are banded together for a big operation by Bail Organa and Fulcrum, which is indicated to be a permanent shift in tactics. |
| 32 | * LaResistance: The very beginning of it. Some of them date back to the Clone Wars when they were fighting the Separatists alongside the Republic. Then the Republic turned into the Empire and refused to leave, so they turned on it. |
| 33 | * TheRevolutionWillNotBeVilified: The Rebel cells tend to be quietly celebrated by the public, instead of feared as the Empire wants. |

| 49 | |
| 50 | A rare antiquities dealer who is secretly coordinating with various rebel cells alongside Mon Mothma. |
| 51 | ---- |
| 52 | * AcePilot: He proves himself a skilled hand at the ''[[CoolStarship Fondor]]'' when accosted by an Imperial cruiser over Segra Milo in "[[Recap/AndorS1E11DaughterOfFerrix Daughter of Ferrix]]". |
| 53 | * AntiHero: He's a rebel and his desire to bring down the Empire and restore freedom to the galaxy is genuine... but he's also not even remotely afraid of dirtying his hands to get the job done. |
| 54 | -->'''Luthen:''' I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. [[NecessarilyEvil I burn my decency for someone else's future]]. [[NoPlaceForMeThere I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see.]] And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude. So what do I sacrifice? '''EVERYTHING!''' |
| 55 | * ArmchairMilitary: As a spymaster, he doesn't go out on the frontlines of the Rebel missions or independent revolts that he organizes and provokes. It's implied that this is a contributor to his ruthlessness, as while he ''claims'' to know and accept the consequences of what he's doing, he's never actually had to ''see'' it, just heard indirect reports about it. [[spoiler:When he unintentionally ends up in the thick of it for the first time on Ferrix — being caught up in a terrifying riot/battle between locals and an Imperial occupation force — he's horrified and shellshocked by the experience, having clearly never seen actual war firsthand.]] |
| 56 | * BadassOnPaper: Downplayed. Luthen shows that he's cool and capable in both small scale gunfights and taking down a few TIE Fighters in a highly customized ship. Furthermore, he's an incredibly smart and manipulative man, more than capable of pushing others to fight the Empire. When he's caught up in a larger scale and very grisly encounter, however, during [[spoiler:the riot on Ferrix at the end of ''Andor'' season 1]], he quickly becomes shellshocked and stunned by the sight. Ultimately he does little during [[spoiler:the riot]] other than stare in horror and then flee the scene. |
| 57 | * BadBoss: While he seems a ReasonableAuthorityFigure to the Rebels and hired guns under his command, and is one to an extent, he also ultimately sees them as expendable in the bigger scheme of things and has no compunctions about [[spoiler:ordering their deaths if he deems them a liability.]] |
| 58 | * BigGood: Luthen is slowly revealed to be ''the'' mastermind of the Rebel Alliance as a concept and active organization working against the Empire. With his own resources, connections and determination, he rallies the likes of Mon Mothma, Cassian Andor and even Saw Gerrera under his banner to lead the charge in taking down the Empire, paving the way for future heroes like Luke Skywalker to take the reins. |
| 59 | * BreakTheHaughty: Throughout ''Andor'' he remains confident that his methods, amoral as they are, are the only way the Rebellion can fight the Empire. [[spoiler:This changes in the finale where the combination of Maarva inspiring Ferrix through hope in contrast of his use of hatred and being stripped of his Ivory tower in Coruscant and forced to see the horrible results of his methods noticeably shakes him. By the time he confronts Cassian, who he has hunted almost throughout the season, he is noticeably hesitant whereas before he would have just pulled the trigger.]] |
| 60 | * TheChessmaster: Luthen is behind a ''lot'' of dealings when it comes to the budding rebellion. He's running multiple operations across the galaxy all at once, ranging everywhere from heist planning to theft of Imperial property to blackmailing Imperial intelligence agents into being his [[TheMole inside sources]]. Luthen's so good at his job that only [[OnlySaneMan Dedra Meero]] of the ISB suspects someone like Luthen is pulling strings, and even then, all she can truly prove is that this "Axis" even ''exists''. |
| 61 | * ControlFreak: He's aware he can't control everything, but he wants to control what he can, to the point of taking out even the most slightly loose of ends and controlling every situation he's in. |
| 62 | * CoolStarship: Luthen's ship of choice is a Fondor Haulcraft, a cargo runner he's modified with more than a handful of unique technologies to suit his day-to-day work. These include an elaborate voice-activated A.I. command and control system, powerful engines, [[spoiler:[[LogicalWeakness anti-tractor beam flechette launchers]], concealed turrets with lightning-quick targeting, and side-mounted FrickinLaserBeams, which he uses to great effect in "Daughter of Ferrix" to humiliate the luckless Captain Elk and his Arrestor light cruiser, annihilating four [=TIEs=] very quickly in the process]]. |
| 63 | * CowboyCop: Or rather, Cowboy Rebel. His superiors like Mon Mothma don't take too well to Luthen's ruthlessly pragmatic approach to fighting the Empire, and he himself sees no reason to abide by rules and morals if the Empire won't. |
| 64 | * {{Expy}}: Luthen is essentially ''Star Wars''' equivalent of [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse Nick Fury]], being a ruthless, amoral leader of a spy network who commits terrible deeds to get what he wants, but is nonetheless committed to the side of good. Also like Fury, he unites other, more recognizable characters around a common goal. |
| 65 | * {{Foil}}: To Saw Gerrera in a number of ways. |
| 66 | ** Both of them are WellIntentionedExtremist leaders of Rebellion groups, and are more than willing to commit horrific actions for the sake of advancing their own goals. However, while Luthen is the secretive and pragmatic coordinator of the early Rebellion who uses espionage, manipulative tactics and subterfuge to get what he wants, Saw Gerrera is the infamous leader of the Partisans, who make themselves very publicly known. |
| 67 | ** Luthen operates behind-the-scenes, keeps his public life separate from his activities as a spymaster, and is willing to try to collaborate with anyone who could be of use against the Empire. Meanwhile, Saw Gerrera is the face of the Partisans, actively partakes in missions with them, and staunchly refuses to collaborate with anyone he deems unworthy or are part of groups that he hates (such as former Separatists). |
| 68 | ** Luthen's motivations for rebelling against the Empire have to do with what they've already done to the galaxy, while Saw Gerrera is fighting against them because he knows that they're going to get worse. |
| 69 | ** And finally, Luthen is willing to use Chessmaster-like strategies to make things worse for the citizens of the Empire to encourage them to become angrier and rise up, while Saw simply attacks them head-on using guerrilla tactics. |
| 70 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Between his dour and controlling personality plus his amoral and pragmatic approach to fighting the Empire, Luthen is not well-liked by his fellow Rebel Alliance members. Unfortunately for them, he is also indispensable to the early Alliance because while he's ruthless, he's also an incredibly efficient spymaster who gets shit done. |
| 71 | * TheHeart: Ironically. When Luthen isn't busy being a cold-blooded KnightTemplar spymaster, he's spending his time trying to get the various Rebel factions and cells to play nice and actually cooperate with one another, reminding them that [[WeAreStrugglingTogether whether they like each other or not, they ARE in this mess together]]. |
| 72 | * HeelRealization: For all that he ''claims'' he understands the cost of his unscrupulous methods, [[spoiler:his haunted, broken, and despairing expression after he's forced to actually see his work in action for the first time on Ferrix makes it clear he very much ''did not'' and is horrified by the realization of both [[WarIsHell what he's been inflicting on people]] and how [[SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers his accomplishments are minuscule compared to what people like Maarva Andor achieve with simple hope and idealism]].]] |
| 73 | * {{Herald}}: Of ''Andor''. He's the one who takes Cassian from Ferrix in the first story arc and introduces him to the world of the Rebellion, which [[ForegoneConclusion the audience knows he'll become a true believer in]]. |
| 74 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: It becomes clear that while he's incredibly ruthless in his fight against the Empire, he also harbors an equal amount of hatred for himself as a result of him spending years shedding his morals and fighting the Empire with the same cruelty that they treat their subjects. |
| 75 | -->'''Luthen:''' My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they've set me on a path from which there's no escape. I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost and by the time I looked down, there was no longer any ground beneath my feet. |
| 76 | * HeWhoFightsMonsters: Luthen is wearily cognizant that he has sunken to the same extremes as the Empire he fights, to the point of seeing himself as NecessarilyEvil, as he confides to [[spoiler:Lonni]] during their conversation in "[[Recap/AndorS1E10OneWayOut One Way Out]]". He doesn't embrace these lows gladly, lamenting the personal virtues he's had to discard in order to stand a fighting chance against the Empire. Said conversation also implies he expects the same of other Rebels under his command, and leads by example. |
| 77 | * HiddenDepths: As he confides with [[spoiler:Saw]] during an exceedingly rare moment of vulnerability, he is genuinely scared a lot of the time that the Empire is simply becoming too big to fight practically, which is implied to be the big motivator for his ruthlessness. |
| 78 | * JerkassHasAPoint: |
| 79 | ** Ruthless and cold he may be, but he knows that playing by the rules is not an option when the Empire isn't going to be playing by them either. And considering what the Empire [[FinalSolution has already done]] and what they will [[EarthShatteringKaboom come to do]], it's clear that his harsher tactics are what's needed to put a hole in the Empire's reach. His conversation with [[spoiler:Lonni]] in "[[Recap/AndorS1E10OneWayOut One Way Out]]" also makes it clear that while he doesn't shy away from extremes, he doesn't embrace them gladly, knowing the necessity of playing on the same level of his enemies. |
| 80 | ** While his order to have Cassian killed because HeKnowsTooMuch is certainly a step beyond what the future Rebel Alliance would be fine with doing, Cassian did desert the mission at the end instead of reporting to him, killed one member of the Aldhani heist team, and threatened Vel at gunpoint for his pay, rather than completing the mission and getting it then. From Luthen's perspective, Cassian is a coward who's only in it for the money, and who might sell out Luthen and the remainder of the Aldhani heist team either to save himself (if the Imperials ever catch up to Cassian), or just for cash if he needs it. |
| 81 | * ManipulativeBastard: Manages to sway Cassian into joining his Rebellion group by preying on his insecurities and hatred for the Galactic Empire, and then deploys him to Aldhani to take part in the raid there. He then orders Cassian killed when he deserts the group, believing that HeKnowsTooMuch to be left alive. |
| 82 | * MinoredInAssKicking: Luthen prefers to rely on his wits and guile to see him through the day, but he doesn't shy from combat when he needs to; he proves himself a crack shot when getting Cassian off Ferrix, as well as a skilled pilot when an Imperial patrol accosts him over Segra Milo. |
| 83 | * MirrorCharacter: To Dedra Meero. Both of them are intelligent blonde characters who constantly try to play chess and use unscrupulous methods to get what they want to defeat their enemies. They also both are great when it comes to manipulating others and setting up plans, but have sacrificed their social lives to their causes and quickly lose composure when actual violence breaks out around them. The only difference in their operations is that Luthen is a spymaster, and thus one of the highest authorities in the Rebel Alliance, whereas Dedra still answers to her ISB supervisors at the end of the day. |
| 84 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: |
| 85 | ** Subtle, but present during the second meeting he has with Saw in Season 1 of ''Andor''. [[spoiler:Luthen voices doubt and regret for the first time at the idea of sacrificing Kreegyr's cell, admitting quietly (almost to himself), that he's not sure if it's the right decision. Luthen, who has been a model of firm, unyielding purpose, visibly wavers for a few moments and seems exhausted and worn down by the whole thing. It's likely that he ''wants'' to do the morally right thing and find a way to rescue Kreegyr, but the cold and calculating part of his mind knows the right thing for the Rebellion is to go ahead with his plan to sacrifice Kreegyr and company so he can keep his source inside ISB.]] |
| 86 | --->'''Saw:''' You think it's worth [[spoiler:losing Kreegyr]]?\ |
| 87 | '''Luthen:''' ... I did. I'm not sure right now. |
| 88 | ** [[spoiler:His expression after seeing and barely escaping the riot on Ferrix just ''screams'' this, as he's forced to look upon the consequences of his "no matter the cost" attitude firsthand, while also seeing that hope of the sort wielded by Maarva Andor can be a vastly more effective motivator for rebellion then the hatred and anger Luthen dedicated his life too.]] |
| 89 | * NonActionGuy: Downplayed. He absolutely ''can'' fight and will if left no choice, but he's still ultimately just a middle-aged man with no apparent combat training beyond knowing how to shoot a blaster. His job as a spymaster doesn't really require him to be out on the frontlines, he goes out of his way to avoid it, and what fighting he does is based around extreme pragmatism and pre-prepared tricks and gadgets to make up for his lack of actual physical ability. |
| 90 | * NonIdleRich: He's incredibly wealthy, introduced as having an excessive amount of money he can throw around and his public persona is an antiquities dealer for the richest in the galaxy. He's also more than comfortable getting his hands dirty, putting himself in risk, and even personally undertakes some more mundane spy tactics like listening to updates and performing clandestine communications when you would think someone of his stature would be above that, though his paranoia and ControlFreak nature may have something to do with that. |
| 91 | * NotSoStoic: Apart from the overly chummy act that he puts on for his day job, Luthen does have some very occasional moments to contrast from his dour and downtrodden attitude. He outright snaps at Vel during their meeting on Aldhani, reacts with elation [[spoiler:when he hears the heist succeeded]], and shares a genuine moment of ribbing between him and [[spoiler:Saw]] before it devolves into arguing again. He's also visibly moved by [[spoiler:Maarva's speech in ''[[Recap/AndorS1E12RixRoad Rix Road]]'', and gives Cassian a genuine (if weary) smile when Cassian finally truly offers his services to the Rebellion.]] |
| 92 | * NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: While he genuinely wants to restore freedom to the galaxy by overthrowing the Empire, even he admits that his own ego, wrath, selfishness, and inability to yield are as much motivation for him as any desire to do good or any ideological opposition to the Empire's tyranny, possibly even more so. |
| 93 | * PayEvilUntoEvil: Practically his motto. In Luthen's eyes, the sheer fact that the Empire does evil things justifies engaging in the exact same evil things to fight them. He has enough self-awareness to recognize the fallacy of this and how it ultimately makes him just as bad as his enemies... but he's so determined to bring down the Empire no matter the cost that he doesn't really care. |
| 94 | * PerpetualFrowner: Luthen is not a happy man. About 85% of his screen time has him wearing various dour frowns and grimaces (not without good reason, given his line of work); that being said, he isn't without his very occasional [[NotSoStoic moments of levity]]. |
| 95 | * PetTheDog: [[spoiler:Despite having been on Ferrix for the express reason of killing Cassian, when the latter confronts him with a choice on board the ''Fondor'' he simply offers him a weary but genuine smile, with the choice clearly made in that moment.]] |
| 96 | * PragmaticHero: The most charitable way of describing him; he's fighting the Empire and won't hesitate to resort to dishonorable and morally questionable methods in the name of the greater good. The ''least'' charitable way to view him is as a full-blown SociopathicHero who operates on cold, inhuman calculus and doesn't care how many corpses it takes to win the war. |
| 97 | * ProperlyParanoid: Paranoid to the extreme, but he has good reason to be, considering the nature of his work. |
| 98 | * RedBaron: As they begin their hunt for him, the [[StateSec ISB]] assigns him the codename of "Axis", owing to his status as a central figure in the early Rebellion. |
| 99 | * ShootTheDog: |
| 100 | ** [[spoiler:He arranges the Aldhani heist for the purpose of ''deliberately'' provoking the Empire into cracking down hard and committing atrocities and repression against the people of the galaxy. Why? Because it will get the nascent Rebel Alliance more recruits and resources, plus cause additional uprisings that will further divide and weaken the Empire. Does it suck that trillions of innocent people are going to suffer for his purposeful escalation of the war? Sure. But if means moving a step closer to ending the tyrannical Empire, then to Luthen it's justified.]] |
| 101 | ** In the episode "One Way Out", he does this again twofold, [[spoiler:by letting 50 rebels die in an ISB ambush to prevent his deep cover agent within the ISB from being compromised. Said agent has recently become a father and has grown tired of the long years of living a double life and wanted to quit, but [[ResignationsNotAccepted Luthen forces him to continue working for him by not so subtly threatening his newborn child.]]]] |
| 102 | * SpiesAreDespicable: He's the spymaster and a ruthless operator, admitting aloud that he is willing to use the same tools as the Empire to fight them, which even he views as making him little better than they are. |
| 103 | * TheSpymaster: One for the early Rebellion, using his [[CollectorOfTheStrange day job]] to coordinate missions of subversion against the Empire with [[TheUnfettered about as many scruples]] as you'd expect of a spy. |
| 104 | * StepfordSmiler: To the Coruscanti public, Luthen is an affable and friendly antique shop owner. In private it's made very clear that this is a mask; the real Luthen is quite serious and grim, almost depressed-seeming. |
| 105 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: Nobody particularly seems to like working with Luthen, as he clashes with the rebels under his command, Mon Mothma, [[spoiler:and even other extremists like Saw Gerrera.]] |
| 106 | * TheUnfettered: Nothing is off-limits to him in his fight against the Empire, but his borderline sociopathic, almost NecessarilyEvil methods of fighting the Empire are balanced out by the fact that almost ''everything'' he does is genuinely motivated to restoring freedom to the galaxy and has legitimate reasoning as to how it will help do so. He just doesn't care if the Rebellion has to be built on corpses or not. [[spoiler:{{Subverted|Trope}} when he suffers an above-mentioned BreakTheHaughty phase and HeelRealization]]. |

| 120 | ---- |
| 121 | * TheConsigliere: Luthen trusts her judgement enough that she can talk to him (and talk ''down'' to him) as an equal without any pushback. Her relationship to Luthen blurs the line between subordinate and superior; in some moments it's hard to tell who's in charge of who. |
| 122 | * TheHandler: She acts as a crucial intermediary between many of the network's agents and Luthen, and is responsible for recruiting a number of them, including Taramyn and Nemik. |
| 123 | * MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: Is significantly more okay with perceived "loose ends" like Cassian and more indifferent about the fates of those who work for them and their mission succeeding than Luthen. |
| 124 | * NumberTwo: She is Luthen's second, serving as his enforcer and go-between with other members of the network. |
| 125 | * TheUnfettered: Like her boss, Kleya has little issue with taking actions that cause the Empire to crack down harder on the galaxy, viewing it as a necessity to cause rebellion. If anything, she's even more coldly practical than he is: Kleya doesn't stress out like Luthen does about the outcome of the Aldhani operation because they can't do anything about it until it's over, and when the Imperial takeover of Ferrix makes communication there dangerous, Luthen only reluctantly shuts off contact at her demand. |

| 145 | A cousin of Mon Mothma, Vel is likewise opposed to the Empire and joined Mon in working with Luthen. She is appointed the field leader of the Aldhani infiltration team, though she answers to Luthen. |
| 146 | ---- |
| 147 | * BattleCouple: Works well with Cinta in the field and during the heist, [[LovedINotHonorMore despite their mutual commitments to the Rebellion]] putting a strain on their relationship. |
| 148 | * CoolAunt: Mon's daughter Leida considers her this, helped by Vel bringing her a fancy new dress as a gift, even calling her "Aunt Vel" (though she's really their cousin). |
| 149 | * DeathGlare: Vel gives Cassian one for him flirting with Cinta when the latter is treating his wound. Cassian's oblivious (it turns out Cinta's her girlfriend). |
| 150 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Two instances prior to the reveal of her public identity as Mon Mothma's cousin in "Nobody's Listening!": |
| 151 | ** In "Narkina 5", Cinta refers to her as a "rich girl who's running away from her family", indicating that Vel is from an upper-class background and status originally. |
| 152 | ** "Vel Sartha" is a name that resembles other Chandrilian names (Mon Mothma, Tay Kolma, Perrin Fertha) seen so far in ''Star Wars''. |
| 153 | * JerkassHasAPoint: Downplayed. [[spoiler:Nemik is seriously injured during the escape and Vel and Skeen argue about what to do. Skeen wants to make a stop at a doctor to save Nemik whilst Vel wants to complete the mission, letting Nemik die. At first, the narrative presents neither as in the wrong, but ultimately the doctor cannot save Nem, and Skeen's whole reason for the detour was to betray them all.]] While Vel's not happy about it, her cold pragmatism was the right choice. |
| 154 | * TheLeader: Cassian initially thought Luthen was the leader, and while Luthen's role in the hierarchy might be higher than Vel's, Vel is the leader of the Aldhani Infiltration mission. |
| 155 | * NonIdleRich: Like her cousin Mon, Vel comes from a wealthy Chandrilan family but chooses to risk her life fighting against the Empire. |
| 156 | * OldMaid: Her cousin's husband Perrin tells her that she's too old to find herself a good husband at her age. Their culture traditionally marries in their teens. As she's shown to be with Cinta, another woman, it's also probable Vel doesn't care. Perrin appears oblivious, though judging from Mon's smirk when he tells Vel this she's aware of Vel's sexuality. |
| 157 | * QueerEstablishingMoment: In "[[Recap/AndorS1E8Narkina5 Narkina 5]]" after many heavy hints in the prior episodes, it's now made explicit that Cinta is lovers with Vel. They refer to "us" and love for each other in a clear romantic way. |
| 158 | * SheCleansUpNicely: In "[[Recap/AndorS1E7Announcement Announcement]]", Vel meets Kleya in-person on Coruscant, looking almost unrecognizable with her hair out of its usual practical updo and styled nicely with tasteful jewelry and fashionable urban clothing that stands in direct contrast to the rough-hewn Aldhani work clothes she'd been wearing during the run up to the heist. "[[Recap/AndorS1E9NobodysListening Nobody's Listening!]]" sees this as essentially her default state of dress, being the cousin of Chandrila's senator. |
| 159 | * TheStoic: She's pretty good at putting up acts and charades when she wants to be. On the other hand, she's more prone to the "mask" of an UpperClassTwit slipping and losing focus as opposed to Cinta. |
| 160 | * TeamMom: Part of her role is keeping the disparate members of her group from turning on each other, especially newcomer Cassian. |
| 161 | * UpperClassTwit: Her cover, which she uses to explain her long absences from Chandrila as gallivanting around the galaxy buying things. |

| 174 | The medic of the Aldhani team, and a member of Luthen Rael's wider rebel network. A stoic woman who serves Luthen with extreme focus, prioritizing the rebellion above all other matters. |
| 175 | ---- |
| 176 | * BattleCouple: Works well with Vel in the field and during the heist, [[LovedINotHonorMore despite their mutual commitments to the Rebellion]] putting a strain on their relationship. |
| 177 | * HiddenWeapons: Ruthlessly shanks an ISB agent with a hidden blade at the end of Season 1 of ''Andor''. |
| 178 | * LovedINotHonorMore: Cinta loves Vel but makes it clear to her that the Rebellion will always come first, parting from her after they just reunited for pursuing a lead on Cassian. Vel is seen sadly leaving on her own. |
| 179 | -->'''Cinta:''' I'm a mirror, Vel. You love me because I show you what you need to see. |
| 180 | * TheMedic: Treats Cassian's wounded arm after he arrives at the camp. |
| 181 | * NervesOfSteel: Skeen calls her "stone-cold fearless." |
| 182 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: In spite of the increased security on Aldhani and her own lack of a ship, she still manages to get off planet and reunite with Vel. |
| 183 | * QueerEstablishingMoment: In "[[Recap/AndorS1E8Narkina5 Narkina 5]]" after many heavy hints in the prior episodes, it's now made explicit that Cinta is lovers with Vel. They refer to "us" and love for each other in a clear romantic way. |
| 184 | * TheQuietOne: She tends not to speak unless it's necessary, and then to speak in short and to the point sentences. |
| 185 | * SoleSurvivor: Her entire family was slaughtered by Stormtroopers, which is mentioned to have initially caused issues between her and former Stormtrooper Taramyn. |
| 186 | * SpyVersusSpy: After the Aldhani heist, she is assigned to live and work undercover on Ferrix, watching Andor's friends and family in the hope that it will lead Luthen's cell to Cassian and make sure he won't be talking to the Imperials. She winds up in close proximity to Corv, an [[StateSec ISB agent]] who is doing the same thing in trying to find Andor. Cinta winds up using the riot at the end of Season 1 as a chance to isolate and then kill Corv without being noticed. |
| 187 | * TheStoic: She tends not to give much away in conversation or in overall behavior. Vel gets the most out of her, but even then they're still somewhat distant as a result of the strain the Rebellion puts on their relationship. |
| 188 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Season 1 of ''Andor'' shows her as being probably the single most dedicated and devoted member of Luthen's network. She's fighting a repressive, fascist government, and is willing to follow even murderous orders without question as part of that fight. She's also perfectly willing to endanger or outright harm her relationships with other people in service to the cause. |
| 189 | * WouldHurtAChild: Skeen's testimony of her being the coldest of the team is borne out by them trusting her to keep the Imperial commandant's otherwise innocent wife and child hostage at gunpoint. Implicitly, she's capable of it because [[PayEvilUntoEvil she wants to avenge her own family's murder by the Empire]]. [[spoiler:Her hostages' ultimate fate is left ambiguous.]] |

| 200 | A former Stormtrooper, Barcona is Vel's second-in-command and chief of operations for the infiltration team. |
| 201 | ---- |
| 202 | * BaritoneOfStrength: He's a strongly built former soldier turned rebel with a commanding deep voice. When he's disguised as an Imperial Army NCO during the Aldhani raid and barks orders at the local grunts, they immediately move to obey, [[BavarianFireDrill even though they have no idea who he is]]. |
| 203 | * CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:He is killed during the shoot-out at the end of the heist, being shot while attempting to make a run from one cover to the next in a bid to make it aboard the transport.]] |
| 204 | * DrillSergeantNasty: It's not known what his position was before defecting from the empire, but he effectively acts as one of these when he drills and trains Vel's operatives so they can convincingly pass as soldiers. He's actually pretty light on drill sergeant stereotypes of yelling and swearing, although he does a fair amount of shouting orders when he's in disguise as an Imperial NCO. |
| 205 | * TheLancer: Due to his prior military experience he is Vel's NumberTwo and is in charge when she is away. |
| 206 | * MookFaceTurn: He used to be a Stormtrooper but left the Empire. He puts his former military training to use by teaching the infiltration team how to walk and act like an Imperial trooper for the infiltration. |
| 207 | * MysteriousPast: We're told that he used to be a Stormtrooper, but what he did, where he was stationed, and what made him turn his back on the Empire and start fighting against it never get mentioned. The same goes for exactly how he joined Luthen's network; Kleya mentions having personally recruited him, but the details of how he came to her attention and she convinced him to join the Rebellion are unspecified. |
| 208 | * SergeantRock: He's essentially this for the agents under Vel's command, being a calm and experienced NumberTwo who is in command when Vel isn't around. And while not pretending to be an actual sergeant, he does disguise himself as the NCO commanding a small squad when infiltrating the Aldhani garrison. |

| 218 | |
| 219 | A jaded member of the team driven by a desire for revenge against the Empire. |
| 220 | ---- |
| 221 | * AmbiguousSyntax: Notably, he uses the present tense rather than the past tense when telling Cassian "[[spoiler:I ''don't'' have a brother]]", not "[[spoiler:I ''never'' had a brother.]]" This ultimately leaves it [[AmbiguousSituation very unclear]] whether [[spoiler:he never had a brother in the first place or whether he's just reminding Cassian that he doesn't have a brother ''anymore'' and there are better things to worry about other than revenge.]] |
| 222 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Nemik appears to be the one member of the team who Skeen actually cares about. The two of them have something have an older and younger brother relationship, with Skeen chiding him for falling asleep on watch and making fun of him for [[ManifestoMakingMalcontent writing a manifesto]] but becoming extremely upset whenever Nemik is hurt or even threatened. [[spoiler:It's strongly implied that part of the reason Skeen decides to [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere cut his losses and run]] is because he realizes that Nemik's not going to survive even with the surgeon's help, so there's nothing left tying him to the team at all.]] |
| 223 | * TheBigGuy: The tallest member of the crew and most willing to use violence, even against other crew members he distrusts. |
| 224 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: While he seems like a rough, angry man at first, Skeen implies to Andor that he's merely trying to avenge his family by hitting the Empire where it hurts, and genuinely cares about Vel Sartha and her team. [[spoiler:Once the coast is clear and he's alone with Cassian, he admits that not only does he ''not'' care about the cause, but that he has no issue with stealing the money they just got and trying to run to a distant moon to save himself.]] |
| 225 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Subverted. In the fifth episode, Skeen implies that he joined up with the Rebels after the Empire destroyed his family's farm, and that he intends to get revenge on them after his brother killed himself out of despair. [[spoiler:We later learn that Skeen either isn't as torn up about his brother's death as he claimed or even never ''had'' a brother, and that he intends to abscond with the 80 million credits he and the infiltration team just stole to live an easy life safe from the Empire.]] |
| 226 | * IcyBlueEyes: They go very well with his cold and calculating nature. |
| 227 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: At first, Skeen is openly distrustful of "Clem", but seems to warm up to him a little when he realizes "Clem" is apparently just in it for non-ideological reasons like himself, with Skeen's being revenge for his brother's destroyed farm and resulting suicide and "Clem's" being money. He also shows some shades of protectiveness towards the idealistic Nemik, even convincing Vel to [[spoiler:stop and get him medical attention when Nemik is injured in the escape]]. However, [[spoiler:it's implied this stop may have been a way for Skeen to steal their payday out from under Vel's nose. He also admits to "Clem" once they're alone that he made up having a brother, and tries to convince him to help him steal all of the money since he doesn't know how to pilot the craft, promising a 50/50 split between them. Cassian is so disgusted upon hearing this -- and possibly also suspects that Skeen might dispose of him if not now for refusing, then [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness as soon as he's no longer of use]] -- that he shoots Skeen dead.]] |
| 228 | * KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler:Skeen is still in the middle of trying to convince Cassian to split the heist with him and desert Vel Sartha when Cassian guns him down in disgust.]] |
| 229 | * ManipulativeBastard: After Nemik is critically injured by a sliding containment unit during the escape from Aldhani, Skeen insists on taking Nemik to a nearby doctor, even though Sartha believes he's going to die anyway. [[spoiler:Given he almost immediately tries to convince Cassian to join him in fleeing with the money they stole to a distant moon, it's likely he really only convinced him to do this to make it easier for him to escape.]] |
| 230 | * MoralityPet: His one real friend on the team is Nemik, with whom he has something of a [[BigBrotherInstinct protective brotherly relationship.]] He's horrified when Nemik is badly injured during the escape from Aldhani, [[spoiler:and it's strongly implied that he decides to take the money and run at the doctor's planet when he realizes that Nemik is going to die no matter what.]] |
| 231 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney: [[spoiler:As it turns out, Skeen doesn't really care all that much about the Rebellion's cause, and quickly shifts his goals to "grabbing the cash and running" once the mission ends.]] |
| 232 | * ShadowArchetype: Like Cassian, he's had a hard life under the thumb of the Empire. Unlike Cassian, [[spoiler:he isn't receptive to the rebellion's ideals, and tries to stab them in the back and take the heist loot the moment it becomes convenient.]] Cassian is not yet a full-fledged rebel at the time he meets Skeen (though it's a ForegoneConclusion that he will become one), but he still has a personal code of honor Skeen doesn't have, [[spoiler:and kills him for his betrayal.]] |
| 233 | * TattooedCrook: He has several tattoos acquired in Imperial prisons, which he shows off to Cassian in order to gauge his reaction. "Clem" recognizing them confirms to Skeen that he has also spent time in Imperial prisons, as none of the other team members knew what they represented. |
| 234 | * TheUnapologetic: After taking Cassian at knifepoint, he reveals his backstory on Vel's orders and says it's the closest thing to an apology he'll give. Expresses the same attitude after the heist when he [[spoiler:offers to split the stolen money with Andor, saying that while he ''is'' a rebel, it's in the sense of him against the galaxy and never mind the Rebel cause.]] |
| 235 | * YouKilledMyFather: Claims to be seeking revenge against the Empire after Imperials took his family's farm and flooded it, [[DrivenToSuicide driving his brother to suicide]]. [[spoiler:Later he reveals to Andor that he totally made the story up.]] |

| 247 | |
| 248 | A young, kindhearted member of the team and a skilled astro-navigator. |
| 249 | ---- |
| 250 | * BadassBookworm: He is what can only be described as a political nerd, yet manages to keep his cool during the heist and even takes out an Imperial {{Mook}} who had Cassian in a chokehold. |
| 251 | * DressCodedForYourConvenience: Nemik wears a thin, red, fur-lined, cap for the chill weather, with ear flaps. It evokes both the heavier ushanka of the USSR and the pointed phrygian cap of the French Revolution. |
| 252 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: Suffers the unpleasant fate of death by internal injury after getting crushed by a heavy cart as the remaining members of Vel's team make their escape from the heist. |
| 253 | * DyingForSymbolism: Is crushed by a cartful of money that the Empire almost certainly acquired through their greedy and exploitative imperialistic agenda. In other words, Nemik becomes a ''literal'' example of the lives being crushed by the Empire's greed. |
| 254 | * ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: He pegs Cassian as a devoted believer in the Rebel cause. While that's not accurate at the time, the audience knows Cassian will [[Film/RogueOne eventually grow]] into what Nemik knew he was. |
| 255 | * FanOfThePast: He prefers to use older technology from before the Empire, noting that one of the ways that the Empire has maintained its grip on the galaxy is by getting everyone dependent on their technology. |
| 256 | * ForGreatJustice: Unlike many others he seems to be an ideologue and the most we learn about his motives is him talking about freedom and fundamental rights, and there's no hint of his opposition to the Empire being based on or influenced by a personal story of being wronged or a similar sort of grudge. |
| 257 | * ManifestoMakingMalcontent: Is writing a manifesto of his political ideals and how to combat the Empire's oppression while living under the constant barrage of their atrocities. |
| 258 | * NaiveNewcomer: Pretty strongly implied. He's a fresh faced kid who's optimistic and passionate about the cause of the Rebellion, while the more jaded characters Skeen and Cassian try to make him aware of the more unsavory side of the Rebellion, or the sheer indifference of the Empire to anything individuals will try to do to it. |
| 259 | * NiceGuy: Of all the members of the Aldhani infiltration team, Nemik is by far the friendliest toward "Clem", even if he's a bit overly enthusiastic about his cause. While he does become disappointed upon finding out Clem was being paid to be part of their group, he is still nothing but courteous to him and signals that he has nothing against Clem for being a mercenary, or mercs working for the Rebellion in general. |
| 260 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: |
| 261 | ** Despite only playing a bit role in the Aldhani heist before perishing in a tragic accident, Nemik's manifesto is among the many factors that ultimately radicalize Cassian into joining the Rebellion cause for real. |
| 262 | ** Nemik's manifesto contradicts one of the most important messages of ''Star Wars'', which has remained unchanged since it was first uttered: "Do or do not. There is no try." Instead, the manifesto concludes with "Remember this: ''Try''." Nobody has provided an alternative to this message in ''50 years''. He inverts one of the most enduring and recognizable messages of the entire cinematic universe, which may be the message that ultimately radicalizes Cassian and many others. The potential impact cannot be understated. |
| 263 | * TheSmartGuy: His role on the heist team, being responsible for building an accurate scale model of the Imperial base and navigating the shuttle out of the Eye. |
| 264 | * TechnoWizard: He's a technology expert who can make it do anything he needs it to for the sake of the Rebellion, whether it's hacking Imperial vaults, scrambling their communications, or navigating through incredibly hazardous flying conditions. (It's just too bad that the communication scrambling isn't ''quite'' as effective as he'd hoped, as the time and effort put in by a communications officer lets him get through the jamming and pick up on Rebel communications.) Interestingly he specializes in and prefers older, "obsolete" technology that has been pushed aside in the name of the Empire's cheaper, easier, and more disposable technologies. Technologies which the Empire completely controls and can use to spy on people, as shown by how Pre-Mor's corporate goons are able to track Cassian by his communicator in the show's third episode. |
| 265 | * TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Nemik is the nicest and most kind of the group, and dies in surgery after being crushed in an accident. |
| 266 | * WideEyedIdealist: He's the most sincere and idealistic member of the group. Finding out that "Clem" is being paid to join them disappoints Nemik greatly, although it does spur him on to add a chapter to his manifesto about the role of mercenaries in a revolution. |

| 277 | An Imperial officer stationed at the Aldhani garrison who aids the crew. |
| 278 | ---- |
| 279 | * TheAtoner: Feels guilty for the seven years he has spent helping the Empire oppress the Aldhani. When Commandant Beehaz realizes that Gorn is a traitor he threatens that he will hang, but Gorn responds that he deserves far worse having served Beehaz for seven years. |
| 280 | * CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:He is shot and killed immediately at the start of the shootout with the security troops, without even having the chance to draw his own blaster.]] |
| 281 | * DefectingForLove: He fell in love with a local Aldhani woman who later died. It's not clear how she died but this motivated him to turn. |
| 282 | * DefectorFromDecadence: He's disgusted by what the Empire did to Aldhani which motivated him to help the nascent rebellion. |
| 283 | * MeanBoss: Downplayed, but he's shown to be a pretty strict and demanding supervisor. He's also frequently critical of the Rebel cell and expects them to be doing better. |
| 284 | * MoleInCharge: He is in charge of security and duty rosters at the Aldhani garrison, making it a simple task to get the infiltration team inside by having them pose as transfers from the airbase and clear out most of the staff from the route they take to the vault. |
| 285 | * NobleTopEnforcer: Played with. He appears to be second-in-command of the Aldhani garrison, beneath Beehaz, who is a racist FatBastard, while Gorn himself has defected to the Rebels and even before that was implied to be a more reasonable man. |
| 286 | * SurroundedByIdiots: It's implied that Aldhani is a frequent ReassignedToAntarctica posting for Imperial screw-ups, with even the commandant being desperate to get transferred somewhere else. Gorn is head-and-shoulders above the rest of the base in terms of competence, since he was going to be promoted out of there before he fell in love with one of the natives. He can barely hide his disdain for the lazy and complacent men under his command, but they are very easy for him to manipulate into making the payroll robbery easier. |

| 293 | * AdaptationalHeroism: The Cloud-Riders in ''Legends'' were a Swoop gang that frequently engaged in extortion rackets against the villagers on their planet. In ''Solo'', it's revealed they are actually one of the early rebel cells fighting against the Empire and the crime syndicates working with them. |
| 294 | * BadassArmy: Enough that Beckett curses their mere showing up during the Conveyex heist because of how much harder it's going to make the job. The moment Enfys Nest gets the drop on them during the climax, the Cloud-Riders absolutely slaughter Dryden's guards without seemingly [[CurbStompBattle any casualties whatsoever.]] |
| 295 | * BadassBiker: They ambush their targets on [[HoverBike Swoop bikes]], and they're ''exceptionally'' badass. |
| 296 | * CanonImmigrant: They are a rather obscure group originally appearing in the old ''ComicBook/StarWarsMarvel1977'' comics run. |
| 297 | * CallForward: Benthic "Two Tubes" from ''Film/RogueOne'' is one of their members. (Presumably, the Cloud-Riders were the first [[GoodAllAlong Rebel cell]] he joined before leaving the group to join Saw Gerrera's Partisans.) |
| 298 | * CoolMask: All of them wear these. |
| 299 | * GoodAllAlong: The gang is revealed to be fighting against Crimson Dawn and the Empire. |
| 300 | * GoodIsNotSoft: Despite being GoodAllAlong, the Cloud-Riders are absolutely ruthless in the pursuit of their goals, attacking Beckett's first crew without hesitation (killing Rio in the process) during the Conveyex heist and seemingly killing every last one of Dryden's guards after [[OutGambitted outwitting them]] in the climax. Some of them, such as Benthic "Two Tubes", later went on to join [[YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters Saw Gerrera's Partisans]]. |
| 301 | * HeroAntagonist: With the reveal of the gang being an early rebel cell, the Cloud-Riders were effectively one towards Han Solo and Tobias Beckett's crew during their first appearance in ''Solo''. |
| 302 | * ISurrenderSuckers: How Enfys gets the drop - quite [[DeathFromAbove literally]] - on Dryden's enforcers in the climax, placing her mask and armor on one of the random old women from Savareen and having the Cloud-Riders surrender, then ambushing the enforcers when they let their guard down. |
| 303 | * RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The gang is made of various people who suffered under the galactic cartels's rule. |
| 304 | * LaResistance: The Cloud-Riders are made up of people who've suffered either from the actions of the various criminal syndicates working with the Empire or actual Imperial oppression, and are actually stealing supplies and materials for the nascent Rebellion, or at least one of the early rebel cells. |
| 305 | * MenOfSherwood: They repeatedly harass cargo shipments by the Empire and Crimson Dawn to protect the people under their rule. |
| 306 | * SpacePirates: They specialize in attacking cartels such as the Crimson Dawn. |

| 320 | |
| 321 | The leader of the Cloud-Riders, a pirate gang Han Solo encountered while preparing and executing heists with Tobias Beckett. |
| 322 | ---- |
| 323 | * AmbiguousGender: Enfys wears gender-obscuring armor and her helmet provides a deep filter over her voice, with even her species being unknown. ''Film/{{Solo}}'' reveals Enfys [[SamusIsAGirl to be a young woman]]. |
| 324 | * BadassCreed: The writing on her CoolHelmet reads ([[BilingualBonus in]] [[ConLang Aurebesh]]) "''Until we reach the last edge, the last opening, the last star, and can go no higher.''" Given that her mother wore the helmet before her, it's possibly the Nest family motto. |
| 325 | * CallForward: She tells Han the "war is just beginning" in reference to the nascent Rebellion, a line Luke would echo verbatim to Kylo Ren in reference to the Resistance in ''Film/TheLastJedi''. |

| 376 | An agent of the Corellian Resistance who crash lands on an unnamed moon and meets Antron Back while on an important mission. |
| 377 | ---- |
| 378 | * ActionGirl: She guns down an Imperial officer and several Stormtroopers all by herself with almost no effort. Nadrinakar is also a good pilot, having managed to damage the engines of the frigate pursuing her, buying her and Antron three hours to figure out how to avoid detection. |
| 379 | * {{Determinator}}: Despite having barely survived a bad crash and bleeding from multiple injuries, Nadrinakar refuses to give upon on her mission and lay low while the Imperials search for her. |
| 380 | * DisappearedDad: Her father was a historian who still believed in the ideals of the Republic and Jedi after the rise of the Empire. Nadrinakar implies that the Empire killed him for those beliefs, which is why she joined the Corellian Resistance. |
| 381 | * HandicappedBadass: Even with several injuries and severe limp, Miru kills four Imperials without a problem. |

| 391 | * SuddenNameChange: {{Downplayed}}. Both ''Series/ObiWanKenobi'' and ''VideoGame/StarWarsJediSurvivor'' were in production simultaneously, with the former coming out first and simply calling the organization "The Path". However, a year later, ''Survivor'' would exclusively call the organization "The Hidden Path".

As the Empire honed in on the world with full-force, however, they were forced to leave, but joined the rebels on Atollon, thanks to Commander Sato's Phoenix Squadron and the ''Ghost'' crew. |

| 476 | * ChildSoldier: They're all kids. |
| 477 | * {{Foil}}: Mostly to Ezra. These kids, like Ezra back in Season 1, fought simply just to fight against the Empire and not realizing what else was at stake and what they were ''really'' fighting for. |
| 478 | * MeaningfulName: You could describe the stubborn-headed Iron Squadron as being iron-willed or having an iron skull. |
| 479 | * NaiveNewcomer: They figured defending their home against the Empire would be an easy gig. They get a taste of how it ''really'' works in their debut episode. |
| 480 | * ParentalAbandonment: Either their parents are neglectful, dead, or some other reason that allows these kids to become rebels. We at least know that Mart's father is dead. |
| 481 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Presumably, they're doing other missions for the Atollon rebels offscreen. Becomes especially jarring when they don't appear for the rest of the season, ''not even in the season finale'' when [[spoiler:Sato dies]]. According to WordOfGod, they ''might'' have been there, [[WhatCouldHaveBeen but they couldn't fit them in]]. |
| 482 | * YouKeepUsingThatWord: Lampshaded by Sabine. "Squadron" is usually used to refer to a team of ships, like Phoenix Squadron, but Iron Squadron is actually just a group in one ship. This is because Mart named it after the original Iron Squadron, his late father's military unit. |

Jonni's place as Luthen's mole depends on Kreegyr falling for the trap, some of Dedra's rise to power is influenced by the ISB setting said trap, and Luthen alerting Saw to the trap helps distance the latter even further from other rebel cells which nearly prevents the Alliance from learning about the Death Star before it's too late.]] |

| 586 | An elite unit of A-Wing starfighter pilots and technicians under the command of Commander Jun Sato and Phoenix Leader Captain Hera Syndulla. After the Battle of Atollon, Phoenix Squadron suffered heavy losses and dispersed its ranks into the squadrons under the Massassi unit in the recently-formed Rebel Alliance. |
| 587 | ---- |
| 588 | * CanonImmigrant: Their name is possibly taken from the Phoenix Squadron in ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' video game ''VideoGame/XWingVsTieFighter''. |
| 589 | * DoomedByCanon: |
| 590 | ** Well, ''something'' had to have happened to their Imperial light carrier, since it doesn't show up with the rebel fleet in the Original Trilogy. [[spoiler:Sato used it in a HeroicSacrifice in order for the Atollon rebels to escape destruction and capture from Imperials.]] |
| 591 | ** Not quite doomed, but the reason why they don't appear in the movies is because a ton of them died at the Battle of Atollon, so they found it better to just disperse and join the other squadrons, like Wedge joining Red Squadron. We also see Hammerhead cruisers during the Battle of Scarif, and two of them survived the Battle of Atollon. |
| 592 | * TheFaceless: The technicians wear a OneWayVisor helmet. |
| 593 | * LegacyCharacter: According to AllThereInTheManual, a squadron of A-Wings named Phoenix Squadron fought at the Battle of Jakku. We're not sure if they named it after this squadron or Phoenix Squadron lived to fight another day after the Battle of Atollon. |
| 594 | * MidSeasonUpgrade: They get three ''Hammerheads'' and an Imperial light carrier added to their arsenal later in Season 2. [[spoiler:The light carrier is lost in the Season 3 finale in order to destroy an Interdictor in the Blockade of Atollon, but on the other hand, Phoenix Squadron joins up with the Massassi unit.]] |
| 595 | * OneDegreeOfSeparation: One of the ''Hammerhead'' corvettes given to them by Leia is later used to destroy the Shield Gate over Scarif at the Battle of Scarif. |
| 596 | * OneSteveLimit: Averted, sort of. There's a "Phoenix Squad" in 2011 re-release of ''Film/ANewHope''. |
| 597 | * RedShirtArmy: To show how serious their opponent of the week is, be it Vader in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsTheSiegeOfLothal "The Siege of Lothal"]] or the Blockade of Ibaar. A recurring plot point is how they need more {{Ace Pilot}}s in their ranks. According to AllThereInTheManual, Supply and Ordnance refused to get more A-Wings until before ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' because of how many A-Wings were destroyed while serving Phoenix Squadron. |
| 598 | %%* SavedByCanon: [[spoiler:''Propaganda'' implies that they survive at least past the Battle of Yavin, as Sabine's gift to Hera depicted both her and Phoenix Squadron, and it was considered cool enough by Hera and Senator Mothma to turn into a propaganda poster. Typically, if you're going to make a recruitment poster that persuades and assures people that their would-be colleagues are invincible and capable badasses, you'd want the people depicted to be ''living'' war heroes, because otherwise, it suggests the job will end on a bittersweet note, and no one wants to take a chance on that despite the martyrdom.]] |
| 599 | * ThousandYardStare: Hera lets as many rebels as there's room for aboard her ship in the aftermath of the Battle of Atollon. Many of them are silent, curled up, and/or staring off into space. |
| 600 | * WhatMeasureIsAMook: |
| 601 | ** A skirmish with the Protectors ends with two pilots dead, but Sabine's only concern is Hera getting crippled and nearly killed. |
| 602 | ** During the establishing of Chopper Base, Deiser goes MIA, but no mention is made about her by the time they deal with the krykna. Justified, because it had been hours since her disappearance once they find out about the krykna and [[EatenAlive their diet]], leaving them to assume what went down. |
| 603 | ** Averted in the intro of [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E14Homecoming "Homecoming"]], one of the pilots gets shot down right before she can dock, leading to Hera pointing out in the aftermath that they need a new safer docking place for pilots and that pilots are a limited resource. |
| 604 | * YouAllLookFamiliar: There are only about four or five different character models for the pilots, not helped that callsigns such as "Phoenix 1" are switched around every episode (usually because the last titlebearer died). |

After receiving words of wisdom from the like-aged Ezra, she defected and helped stop her fellow cadets from taking over the ''Ghost''. |

| 657 | * HeelFaceTurn: While it doesn't get expanded on within the comic, we do get a line from her that she's seen the Empire do things she doesn't agree with, but was unsure about what to do next, since unlike other defectors we've seen so far in ''Rebels'' and the other comic strips, [[SoWhatDoWeDoNow she worries about what will happen after she defects]], like what will happen to her family.

| 778 | --->--'''Ahsoka Tano''' |
| 779 | |
| 780 | The anonymous title used by rebel informants. The system was proposed by former Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano, who after meeting with Senator Bail Organa a year after the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Empire, would become the first Fulcrum informant, pointing out that a Rebellion cannot prosper without a proper information network to keep cells connected and united with each other. The moniker of Fulcrum was adopted from an unidentified previous titleholder by Ahsoka prior to her proposing the Fulcrum network to Organa. |
| 781 | |
| 782 | Other Fulcrum agents would include [[spoiler:Agent Alexsandr Kallus of the Imperial Security Bureau]], Captain Cassian Andor of Alliance Intelligence, and many others. |
| 783 | ---- |
| 784 | * AmbiguousGender: The more to hide their individual identities. |
| 785 | * AmbiguousSituation: ''Literature/RebelRising'' heavily implies that Xosad became a Fulcrum recruitment agent later on in the story. |
| 786 | * AnonymousBenefactor: Individual Fulcrum informants typically conceal their identities from the cells they work with for maximum operational security. |
| 787 | * CodeName: They use the moniker "Fulcrum". |
| 788 | * CollectiveIdentity: There can be multiple Fulcrums at a time for different cells/sectors, like how Cassian is specifically the Fulcrum of the Albarrio sector. |
| 789 | * ExactWords: Ahsoka was the first rebel informant... just not the first person to hold the title of Fulcrum. |
| 790 | * KnowledgeBroker: They give information to rebel cells officially acknowledged by Senator Organa. |
| 791 | * LegacyCharacter: After Ahsoka goes MIA, every other Fulcrum becomes this. |
| 792 | * MeaningfulName: A fulcrum is something in the middle that pivots and supports things, both in physics and metaphors. The Fulcrum network is a spiritual predecessor to Alliance Intelligence, providing information that allows the Rebellion to make strikes against the Empire and to grow into a more powerful force. Knowledge is power after all. |
| 793 | ** Ahsoka is "in the middle". She is not a Jedi, but she is not a Sith or a Dark-side user. [[TakeAThirdOption She chose another path]] and she is willing to compromise for what she believes is ultimately the best solution in the situation, rather than simply deferring to the absolutes of BlackAndWhiteMorality often used by most Light-sided users and Dark-sided users. |
| 794 | ** [[spoiler:Kallus is an Imperial Security Bureau agent who has committed atrocious acts in the belief it was for the ultimate good, as well as a FreudianExcuse in that he had something personal to hold against the rebels. Realizing he was wrong, he switched to the Rebellion, but will still commit questionable acts if the situation calls for it, such as framing other officers and being abrasive.]] |
| 795 | ** Cassian is a former Separatist-turned-Rebel. Similarly to [[spoiler:Kallus]], he has committed numerous morally questionable actions as well (though not anywhere close to the level of [[spoiler:Kallus']]), making him a morally grey character, or, "in the middle". |
| 796 | ** It also seems to be a call back to the Father and Mortis, as AllThereInTheManual describes the Father as the "fulcrum" of the balance that he intended Anakin to succeed him as, as well as Mortis being the "fulcrum" of the Galaxy and the Force. |
| 797 | * MysteriousEmployer: Since Fulcrum agents can be anyone as long as they have information, they're supposed to stay anonymous for their safety. |
| 798 | * SadisticChoice: Due to being a spy network, it's inevitable. Both [[spoiler:Kallus]] and Cassian have committed sadistic acts. |
| 799 | * SeekingSanctuary: In a non-religious sense. They're open to helping [[DefectorFromDecadence defecting Imperial officers]] and/or rebel sympathizers/refugees reach the rebels to help against or hide away from the Empire. |
| 800 | * SigilSpam: Of Ahsoka's FacialMarkings on her forehead, which remains the ''de facto'' symbol of the other informants. |
| 801 | * TrustPassword: It would appear that some Fulcrums have this. [[spoiler:Kallus]] uses one to convince Kanan, Ezra, and Chopper that [[spoiler:he's]] the real deal. |

| 847 | |
| 848 | An ex-Republic Intelligence officer, Teller deserted the Empire after the Antar Atrocity and began gathering a resistance group made up of his former operatives and other dissidents who wanted to strike against the Empire. Five years after the Clone Wars ended, his organization stole Moff Wilhuff Tarkin's personal corvette and used it to strike against the Empire. |
| 849 | ---- |
| 850 | * AntiHero: Wants to hurt the Empire and inspire further rebellion against it, but strikes at several lightly defended targets for maximum effect and does not care that many of the casualties are civilians working for the Empire. |

The death of so many of his agents during Tarkin's purge of the planet despite Teller's pleas for them to be removed from the planet beforehand is what turned him against the Empire. |
| 853 | * HeroAntagonist: He and his group serve as this during the events of ''Tarkin''. |
| 854 | * PermaStubble: He is described as having a "long face perpetually shadowed with stubble". |
| 855 | * RebelLeader: He organized one of the first major non-Separatist factions that attempted to oppose the Empire. It did not go very well, due to his extreme tactics, a questionable choice in ally, and having too little support built up to sustain the movement. |
| 856 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He deserted the Empire shortly after it formed due to the Antar Atrocity. Teller had recruited many pro-Republic citizens on that planet who provided information to the Republic during the Clone Wars, and was outraged when the planet was punished post-war for the actions of the Separatists, with hundreds of loyal citizens, including some of his agents, among those who were randomly killed. |
| 857 | * SoleSurvivor: Maybe. [[spoiler:All the rest of his group are either killed in battle against the Empire or executed by Tarkin after he captured and interrogated them. Teller himself escapes, only to try to assassinate Tarkin on the Carrion Plateau, but he fails and falls into a pit trap. Tarkin leaves Teller a fighting chance to escape before vicious predators arrive to kill him so he can continue trying to kill Tarkin, but whether or not he managed to escape is unknown.]] |
| 858 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: While his targets are all military in nature, many of them have civilians who work there. Teller rationalizes that anybody who would willingly work for the Empire's military is a supporter of the regime and thus fair game, although some of his comrades do not share his sentiments. |
| 859 | -->'''Teller:''' Anyone who willingly serves is a traitor to ''life'', Hask. And don't tell me they don't know what they're signing up for, because it's as clear as those posters on the wall.

| 1054 | |
| 1055 | Originally a criminal mastermind, Cygni allied himself with several organizations that opposed the Empire. He ended up crossing paths with Admiral Thrawn and became his nemesis, eventually confronting him directly by instigating an insurgency on Batonn. |
| 1056 | ---- |
| 1057 | * ArchEnemy: Thrawn spent most of his career trying to beat him. |
| 1058 | * BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: Subtly let Thrawn eliminate [[SpacePirates Angel's crew]] and uses him to dispose of the Cyphar spice dealers. |
| 1059 | * DiabolicalMastermind: A heroic spin on the trope. |
| 1060 | * DoomedMoralVictor: Chose the moniker Nightswan after a bird [[RuleOfSymbolism that sings at twilight.]] [[spoiler: When offered a way out by Thrawn, he elects to die with the Batonn insurgents.]] |

A criminal mastermind that organizes many crimes and insurgencies that trouble the empire, sends "invitations" to his WorthyOpponent and claims to be responsible for most the problems he faced. He is even called a [[Series/{{Sherlock}} consultant]] a few times. As a rebel hero, he is of course far more principled than Moriarty ever was. |
| 1062 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: [[InvertedTrope In the eyes of the Empire, at least.]] After witnessing him keeping up with [[MagnificentBastard Thrawn]] and organizing many rebellions and acts of sedition all over the galaxy, you would expect his backstory to be a former general, intelligence operative or crime lord of some sort. [[spoiler: He is a miner.]] |

| 1064 | * HeroAntagonist: Of ''[[Literature/StarWarsThrawn Thrawn]]''. |
| 1065 | * MeaningfulName: His nickname is "Nightswan". His last name is "Cygni"[[note]]Which is probably [[JustifiedTrope fake]][[/note]], which is also the genitive for stars in the constellation Cygnus, the Swan, which can only be seen at night. |
| 1066 | * PrecursorHeroes: Says he tried to unite diferent rebel cells against the empire to no avail, but he hopes somebody else will. His wish is granted by the creation of the [[TheAlliance Rebel Alliance]], [[spoiler: but he is no longer around to see it]]. His modus operandi is also strongly reminescent of the Fulcrum Network. |
| 1067 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: With Angel and his pirate crew. Their partnership is [[OnlyInItForTheMoney pure business]], he has to bribe them into sparing prisoners and he seems relieved to learn of their death. |
| 1068 | * WorthyOpponent: After defeating Nightswan, Thrawn gives him an offer to join the Chiss Ascendancy, which is saying something, considering the only other person he offers this to is [[spoiler:Eli, both out of their friendship and the young man's intelligence]]. |

| 1096 | |
| 1097 | An old friend of Sabine who, after learning the truth of what the Imperial Academy on Mandalore forces its cadets to do, helped her escape, out of guilt for previously turning in another defecting cadet. Even after her escape from Mandalore and joining the ''Ghost'' crew, they would occasionally keep in touch, Janard providing Imperial intel for her to use. |

| 1100 | * DiedInYourArmsTonight: In Sabine's. |
| 1101 | * HeroicBystander: The first time, it was actually NotQuiteTheRightThing, under the belief that the cadet he caught to help the Empire was morally wrong. He realized his mistake, so when Sabine was on the run, he provided a distraction to help her escape from the Imperials pursuing her. This was back on Mandalore, which was probably one of the planets worse off by the Empire, and despite not even being a part of the Mandalorian Resistance or even a warrior for that matter, doing something this heroic as a civilian is saying something about his bravery. |
| 1102 | * IntergenerationalFriendship: He looks rather old, and he's friends with a teenage girl. |

| 1105 | * NoodleIncident: He turned in a fugitive cadet to the Empire before he helped Sabine. |
| 1106 | * NotQuiteTheRightThing: Turning in the first fugitive cadet to TheEmpire isn't exactly something you should pride yourself on, as he found out a little later after, and just in time to help Sabine. |

However, this operation would be discovered by the Imperial Security Bureau, leading to the two defectors attempting to escape while Beneda stayed behind to destroy evidence of the entire group's rebellious activities. |

This allows Tural's rebel sympathy to continue to remain hidden and stalls for time for the two officers to escape, but unfortunately, [[ShaggyDogStory neither of these last long anyway]]. He was only knocked out by the explosion, but Kallus has him arrested and prepped for torture/interrogation, so either he's been thrown in prison and/or he got executed. |
