Episode 5: Rebellion’s Call, Part 4

• The team, having secured data from an Imperial communications station and destroying it (3:26), arrives at Mahina Kai Plateau to debrief. Their primary objective is to decrypt the acquired Imperial data (4:12). Tina, with assistance from Saw Gerrera’s code breaker and her personal computer, manages to decrypt the strong Imperial encryption after many hours (10:07-15:34).
• The decrypted data reveals several critical pieces of intelligence:
  • General tactical information and Imperial deployments in the sector (16:15).
  • A communication from Panaka to administrator Grel detailing a specialized team from Jedha arriving in three weeks to extract kyber found at Palace (16:41-17:20).
  • A message stating that mycoxit production on Phantine needs to be accelerated due to the construction of a new secret weapon in deep space, and the Emperor has granted Administrator Krytal authority to meet the supply quota (17:34-18:27).
  • Another communication indicates that Moth Panaka is returning to Naboo in five days to meet Queen Dal of Naboo and Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan (18:55-19:22). Saw Gerrera shows particular interest in this last piece of information (19:33).
• The group discusses their next course of action, focusing on disseminating this vital intelligence to Rebel contacts, especially regarding the superweapon (26:51-28:40). They also consider the possibility of preventing Moth Panaka from reaching Naboo (31:57).
• Later, news arrives that Phantine has been blockaded by Panaka’s Star Destroyer, grounding all ships except those on Imperial business (40:19-41:03). Stormtroopers and Nova Sec are also raiding lower levels of the city (47:29). This makes getting Saw Gerrera off-world a priority (44:00-44:26), with discussions revolving around stealing an Imperial ship from the starport or running the blockade with their own ships (54:53-1:10:00).
• The episode concludes with the group getting Saw Gerrera off the planet amidst the Imperial lockdown (1:01:40 – 1:15:35).

Player Notes:

• Full house again.
• This recap is insanely late. It’s one of those things I kept meaning to getting around to, but life kept getting in the way.
• This recap is also a YT AI summary because I’m super lazy …
