A friend of Fett

Rescue

With his business with Shand concluded, Calican left her to die in the desert. Some hours later, Djarin returned on the dewback only to discover her unconscious body. Assuming that Shand had died, Djarin rode back to Mos Eisley to confront Calican, who had captured the Mandalorian's child, a Force-sensitive infant named Grogu. After killing Calican and rescuing the child, Djarin departed Tatooine, believing that his business had been taken care of.^[1] Unbeknownst to him, however, Shand had survived their encounter. Alone and unconscious in the desert, her body was retrieved by a man who had been left to die on Tatooine just as Shand had: Boba Fett, the son of the Mandalorian foundling Jango Fett. The outlaw saved her life, seeing to it that her wounded organs were replaced with cybernetics. Alive and grateful, Shand swore her services to Fett, who was on a personal quest to retrieve his father's Mandalorian armor.^[2]

Tython ambush

Sometime later, Fett discovered that Djarin had returned to Tatooine and taken Fett's armor from Cobb Vanth, a lawman who used the suit to protect a small town.^[3] Shand aided Fett in tracking Djarin down to^[2] the Deep Core^[4] planet^[5] Tython, the home of an ancient temple that Djarin hoped could guide him to Grogu's future. Once on the planet, Shand scaled a ridge and trained her rifle on the child, who was locked in meditation on the temple's seeing stone. Meanwhile, Fett confronted Djarin and demanded the return of his armor, using Shand's position as leverage in his negotiating. With tensions high, the trio agreed to drop their weapons and discuss the matter further. Djarin was shocked to see Shand alive, prompting the assassin to joke that the Mandalorian was speaking with a ghost. Fett and Shand offered a proposition to Djarin: in exchange for Fett's armor, the duo would guarantee the safety of the Mandalorian and Grogu from their pursuers. The group was forced to put their negotiations on hold, however, as they were then ambushed by the Imperial forces of Moff Gideon, who sought to study the child. Djarin retreated to the temple to retrieve Grogu while Shand and Fett prepared to defend against the approaching stormtroopers of Gideon's dropships. most of whom were quickly disposed of; however, the Child was captured by Moff Gideon's detachment of dark troopers. As thanks for returning his armor, Fett offered Djarin his and Shand's help to save Grogu from the clutches of the Empire. Shand accompanied the two to Nevarro aboard Fett's ship, Slave I.^[2]

Rescuing Grogu

Morak infiltration

Shand went with New Republic marshal Carasynthia Dune, Djarin and Fett to the Karthon Chop Fields. There, they took former Imperial sharpshooter turned mercenary Migs Mayfeld into their custody. Djarin wanted to use Mayfeld to find Gideon's light cruiser using a terminal at Imperial refinery on Morak. Upon their arrival on Morak, Shand and Dune took sniper positions outside of the refinery while Djarin and Mayfeld snuck into the refinery. After Mayfeld killed Valin Hess, Shand and Dune took out several of the stormtroopers, gunners and shoretroopers as Djarin and Mayfeld escaped to Slave I. Being an excellent marksman herself, Shand was impressed with Mayfeld's shot that destroyed the Refinery.^[6]

Capturing Moff Gideon

After recruiting the Mandalorians Lady Bo-Katan Kryze and Koska Reeves, Fennec accompanied them, Dune and Djarin aboard Dr. Penn Pershing's Imperial shuttle. Along with Dune, Kryze, and Reeves, she made her way through Gideon's cruiser, killing numerous stormtroopers along the way, to the bridge, where they commandeered the vessel. She then stood ready to assist her compatriots against a platoon of dark troopers which were about to gain entry to the bridge, before they were all destroyed by Luke Skywalker. ^[7]

Return to Tatooine

Following Grogu's rescue, Shand and Fett's pledge to Djarin was fulfilled, and they returned to Tatooine. They went to Jabba's Palace, and, after taking out several of Bib Fortuna's guards and freeing one of his slaves, she stood by as Fett killed Fortuna. As Fett sat on Fortuna's throne, Shand stood behind him and took a bottle of spotchka to celebrate.^[7]
