- "Then off went six of Unkar's thugs with a hired pilot to discover the secret of Carbon Ridge and bring back its buried treasures. Four of the thugs came back with a stack of stormtrooper armor so brittle that Unkar threw it away. The thugs had shot a handful of dead-enders and lost two of their own in the ambushes, but found nothing except empty caves and rockslides."
- ―Rey writes about the pilot in her survival guide
A pilot was hired by the junk dealer Unkar Plutt to transport six of his men in a flyer to Carbon Ridge mountain on the desert planet Jakku during the childhood of the scavenger Rey[1] after she arrived on Jakku in 16 ABY.[2] Plutt hoped the group would find the mountain's supposed treasure, but instead they encountered the group known as the dead-enders at the mountain and lost two of their number to them in ambushes, although they killed several dead-enders in return. The survivors then searched Carbon Ridge and found only empty caves and rockslides, only bringing back a stack of stormtrooper armor to Plutt that was so brittle that the junk dealer threw it away. Rey later mentioned the pilot and incident in a survival guide that she had written[1] by 34 ABY.[3]
Behind the scenes
The pilot was mentioned in Rey's Survival Guide, a 2015 replica journal written by Jason Fry.[1]
