- "Speaking for Zerpen Industries, I must say that this has been a regrettable incident—as was the Republic's abduction of two Separatist researchers. But we are glad to have been in a position to broker their release, as well as that of Dr. Erso and his family, who should never have been subjected to so much as harsh words, let alone imprisonment."
- ―Lieutenant Commander Orson Krennic during the exchange

It resulted in the rescue of the scientist Dr. Galen Erso, his wife Lyra, and their daughter Jyn from the Confederacy of Independent Systems, who had been imprisoned on the planet Vallt.[1]

- ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates the wedding of Lyra and Galen Erso to 25 BBY. Star Wars: Geektionary: The Galaxy from A - Z establishes that the Ersos moved to Vallt three years later, and Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel establishes that their rescue occurred after they spent one year on Vallt. Therefore, the rescue of the Erso family occured in 21 BBY.
