Mission to destroy a kyber crystal

After their mission to Stygeon Prime, the rebel crew of the Ghost undertook a mission to locate and destroy a powerful kyber crystal held by the Galactic Empire. In order to locate it, the rebels required an Imperial decoder from the office of ISB Agent Kallus at the Imperial Headquarters on Lothal. To gain access to the complex, Ezra Bridger was tasked with infiltrating the Imperial Academy below in order to steal the decoder. He spent several weeks in the academy, during which time he was trained by the Imperial Army. He finally located the decoder and stole it with the help of fellow cadet Zare Leonis, who held rebel sympathies after his sister, cadet Dhara Leonis, disappeared from the academy.

Bridger provided the decoder to the rest of the rebels, allowing Kanan Jarrus and Hera Syndulla to go to the coordinates of the kyber crystal. The Spectres then passed the decoder to Leonis' girlfriend Merei Spanjaf, who needed it to access several classified ISB files on Dhara. While they did so, Bridger remained behind in order to save fellow cadet Jai Kell, who was in danger from the Grand Inquisitor after showing signs of Force sensitivity. Leonis and Kell commandeered an All Terrain Defense Pod in order to assist in their escape, and the three were able to make it out of the academy before the Inquisitor arrived. Bridger and Kell fled, but Leonis remained in order to find out more about his sister, under the official pretense of having tried to stop the other two. Meanwhile, Jarrus and Syndulla tracked down the Imperial convoy carrying the kyber crystal and destroyed it. In the aftermath of the mission, Bridger returned to the Ghost, Kell went into hiding, and Leonis was brought before the Inquisitor to tell him about Bridger.
