Syndulla: "Take this data to your informant."
Wren: "Hop on, I'll drive."
Onyo: "That won't work. My contact was clear I have to come alone."
―Hera Syndulla, Sabine Wren, and Ketsu Onyo[1]
The informant was an associate of Ketsu Onyo.

The informant was an associate of Ketsu Onyo.

An informant was in contact with the mercenary Ketsu Onyo during the Imperial Era.[1] Between 3 BBY and 2 BBY,[2] while the rebels Hera Syndulla and Sabine Wren were on[1] the planet[3] Garel, they rendezvoused with Onyo in order to pass her a datacard to be taken to the informant. As Onyo destroyed her speeder bike on the way to meet the pair, Wren offered to drive Onyo to the meeting on[1] her[3] own, freshly-painted speeder bike. However, Onyo told Wren that the informant had specified that she was to arrive to the meetup alone and Wren reluctantly allowed Onyo to take her speeder bike for the mission. Soon after, as Wren and Syndulla waited in their starship, the Ghost, Onyo arrived and told them that the meeting with the informant had been a success.[1]

The story of Onyo's meeting with the informant as well as Wren and Syndulla's involvement was told by[4] the pirate queen[3] Maz Kanata[4] no earlier than 34 ABY.[5]

Behind the scenes

The informant was first mentioned in flashbacks during the Star Wars Forces of Destiny: Volume 2 television special, which included eight episodes[4] from the first season of the animated micro-series Star Wars Forces of Destiny.[6] The television special debuted on October 29, 2017.[7] The specific episode, titled "Crash Course," later released as the final episode of the first season on November 1 of that year.[8]
