- "This is Mon Mothma. I have an assignment for you. The Rebellion needs you and we don't have much time. You must work together. You must not fail. In disguise, your team's mission is to recover Imperial intelligence critical to our survival."
- ―Mon Mothma
A mission to Mustafar was undertaken by members of the Alliance to Restore the Republic during its early rebellion against the Galactic Empire. A team of Rebels, disguised as stormtroopers, infiltrated an Imperial facility on the volcanic planet alongside the reprogrammed Imperial droid K-2SO. Their objective was to recover Imperial intelligence that, according to the Alliance's leader, Mon Mothma, was critical to the survival of the Rebellion.[1]
Prelude
- "This is Captain Cassian Andor of Rebel Intelligence. We don't have much time. Our agents have been tracking a troubling Imperial shipment. This cargo crate has eluded all our efforts to discover its contents. Rumors have suggested it to be an incredibly powerful device, something capable of threatening the light of freedom throughout the galaxy. Today, I managed to place a tracking device on the shuttle transporting this crate. My team has recently stolen an Imperial transport and have prepared it to intercept that cargo shuttle. I was supposed to join you—but it seems the Empire has other ideas. You must take my crew, my ship, and my mission. Find this crate, and return to base with knowledge of its contents. You will disguise yourselves as stormtroopers. This should allow you to move undetected in most situations. Each of you have been assigned different color markings on your armor. This will help you recognize each other through your mission. Your team is waiting. Follow the crate to its destination, discover what's inside, and then get out."
- ―Captain Cassian Andor
Following rumors of a powerful device that could threaten the freedom throughout the galaxy, Rebel Intelligence operative Captain Cassian Andor placed a tracking device on the shuttle transporting the weapon in a cargo crate. Andor's team further stole an Imperial transport to intercept the cargo shuttle.[4] Recruited by Mon Mothma,[1] a team of Rebel operatives was briefed by Andor via a broadcast. Although he intended to join the group, Andor's position was compromised by the Empire, leading him to charge the team with completing his mission and reporting their findings to the Rebellion.[4]
