Amda Wabo

Minister Maketh Tua was a proud member of the Empire. With the rise of the Lothal rebels, Minister Tua gained the ire of Grand Moff Tarkin. Darth Vader and Agent Kallus informed her that she would meet with the Imperial leader, and Tua knew her life was in danger. She secretly contacted the Ghost team, looking for safe passage off Lothal in return for the Empire’s secrets. While they were wary, the rebels agreed and set a rendezvous point. It was not to be, however; Darth Vader knew that Tua would try and escape, and used it to his advantage. After she boarded her shuttle and the rebels neared to escort the Minister, the ship exploded. It was all a setup meant to draw out and frame the rebels. Tua was killed, a tool used for Vader’s evil machinations.

A small ferry craft, the star commuter shuttle was used to transport passengers on short trips between worlds. For the route between Lothal and Garel, it was piloted by RX-24, a droid that specialized in space travel. During the age of the Resistance, Jarek Yeager piloted such a shuttle to ensure a clandestine meeting between Poe Dameron and secret spy Kazuda Xiono happened far away from the Colossus platform.

C-3PO longs for more peaceful times, but his continued service to the Resistance — and his knowledge of more than seven million forms of communication — keeps the worry-prone droid in the frontlines of galactic conflict. Programmed for etiquette and protocol, Threepio was built by a young Anakin Skywalker, and has been a constant companion to astromech R2-D2. Over the years, he was involved in some of the galaxy’s most defining moments and thrilling battles. Since the Empire’s defeat, C-3PO has served Leia Organa, head of a Resistance spy ring aimed at undermining the First Order.

A reliable and versatile astromech droid, R2-D2 has served Padmé Amidala, Anakin Skywalker, and Luke Skywalker in turn, showing great bravery in rescuing his masters and their friends from many perils. A skilled starship mechanic and fighter pilot's assistant, he has an unlikely but enduring friendship with the fussy protocol droid C-3PO.

T-7 ion disruptor rifles were deadly, powerful weapons capable of disabling starships; when used against organic beings, the results could be gruesome. As a result, they were banned by the Senate. During the age of the Empire, Imperial forces used the disruptors to clear out worlds and, sometimes, slaughter their inhabitants, as was the case with their takeover of Lasan.

Garel is a planet not far from Lothal, and was the site of a deal for T-7 ion disruptor rifles between the Empire's Minister Maketh Tua and Amda Wabo.
