Their primary objective is to decrypt the acquired Imperial data (4:12). Tina, with assistance from Saw Gerrera&#8217;s code breaker and her personal computer, manages to decrypt the strong Imperial encryption after many hours (10:07-15:34).<\/li>\n<li>The decrypted data reveals several critical pieces of intelligence:\n<ul>\n<li>General tactical information and Imperial deployments in the sector (16:15).<\/li>\n<li>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).<\/li>\n<li>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).<\/li>\n<li>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).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>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).<\/li>\n<li>Later, news arrives that Phantine has been blockaded by Panaka&#8217;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).<\/li>\n<li>The episode concludes with the group getting Saw Gerrera off the planet amidst the Imperial lockdown (1:01:40 &#8211; 1:15:35).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Player Notes:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Full house again.<\/li>\n<li>This recap is <em>insanely<\/em> late.
