"The Protector of Concord Dawn" Episode Guide | Star Wars Rebels - S2 E13

Veteran of the Clone Wars and a respected warrior, Fenn Rau led the Protectors of Concord Dawn with a combination of honor and ruthlessness. During the Clone Wars, he served as a flight instructor for the clone army and fought in many clashes, including the Battle of Mygeeto. After the rise of the Empire, however, he accepted payment to act in service of the Imperials. It was not until he met with -- and was captured by -- the Ghost crew's Kanan and Sabine that he came to align with the rebels.

An ancient group of Mandalorian warriors, the Protectors served the ruler of Mandalore. After the Imperial occupation of their homeworld, however, the Protectors established a base on the third moon of the Concord Dawn system. Led by Fenn Rau, they formed an alignment with the Empire; after Rau was captured by the rebels Kanan Jarrus and Sabine Wren, who fought with honor, the Protectors’ sympathies changed.

Located on the third moon of the Concord Dawn system, the Protectors Camp was the base of operations for Fenn Rau and his squad of Mandalorian warriors. Dubbed “the Protectors,” they watched over the system from this headquarters. While Rau was honorable, he acted in the name of the Empire thanks to a mutually beneficial agreement. After nearly wiping out the rebels’ Phoenix Squadron, however, the Protectors Camp was infiltrated by the Ghost crew’s Kanan and Sabine -- who destroyed many of the group’s ships before capturing Rau.

Concord Dawn was a system under Mandalorian control, led by the legendary warrior Fenn Rau and his group of Protectors. While Rau entered into an agreement with the Empire, he eventually granted the rebels safe passage through the Concord Dawn system.

Part of Pre Vizsla's arsenal were Gauntlet starfighters -- sleek combat ships that also served as troop transports. A Gauntlet has a sleek primary hull flanked by large pivoting wings that contain the ship's drives. The wings are on a collared mount, which can rotate independently from the hull, offering the ship remarkable maneuverability for a ship of its size. Within the hull is a drop-seat bay where 24 armored Death Watch troopers can egress via jetpack as the Gauntlet provides air support. The ship is armed with two forward laser cannons, and a pair of rearward facing cannons that flank its boarding tube.

Sabine Wren is a Mandalorian warrior and graffiti artist with a creative and rebellious spirit. Independent by nature, during the age of the Empire a young Sabine defected from the Imperial Academy of Mandalore and joined a small rebel cell operating out of the Ghost and led by Hera Syndulla and the Jedi Knight Kanan Jarrus. With a gift for colorful explosives and uniquely-painted beskar, Sabine’s signature starbird — a mark she left to sign her street art and other handiwork — inspired what would become the symbol for the Rebel Alliance.
