After the fall of the Republic, Vice Admiral Edmon Rampart eagerly took on the role of overseeing the clone troopers on Kamino for the new Galactic Empire. In the early days of the regime, Rampart's loyalty to Governor Tarkin and the rest of the Imperials was unquestioned. But after damaging evidence of his order to destroy Tipoca City came to light on the floor of the Galactic Senate, Rampart was arrested, standing accused as a traitor to the Empire despite his protestations that he was simply following orders. Now he works for the Empire in a new capacity — as an inmate at a forced labor camp on Erebus.

Ryloth is the principal planet in the Ryloth system located in the Outer Rim near Tatooine. It is home to the Twi'leks, a humanoid species with two large, fleshy head-tails growing from their skulls. The Twi'leks call these prehensile appendages lekku and can communicate through subtle lekku gestures, although they also speak Twi'leki. During the Clone Wars, scheming Separatist warlords blockaded and invaded Ryloth, hoping to steal its riches. But after the war, dreams of a free Ryloth evaporated under the iron fist of Imperial occupation.

A beat-up, patched together astromech droid dating back to the Clone Wars, C1-10P — or Chopper —is a reliable droid who has served with Hera Syndulla for decades. Loyal to a fault, with a cranky personality to match his weathered finish, during the age of the Empire, Chopper served the Ghost crew in everything from ship maintenance to undercover missions and combat.

Once the heart of the Ghost crew during the age of the Empire, Hera Syndulla continues to serve as the captain of her ship while fighting for freedom from oppression as a general in the New Republic during an era of reconstruction. A gifted pilot with a knack for dogfighting with TIE fighters and a steadfast leader who was instrumental in leading the successful Lothal rebellion, Syndulla is now a mother, veteran, and general.

The freedom fighter Cham Syndulla came to prominence on Ryloth during the Clone Wars, after the Separatists invaded his homeworld. A dedicated fighter with no tolerance for corruption or dishonesty, Syndulla forged an alliance with Mace Windu that brought liberty to his fellow Twi'leks. Syndulla resisted the Empire after its rise to power, hatching a plot to ambush Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader on Ryloth. Although he hoped his sacrifices would mean his daughter, Hera, wouldn't have to spend her life fighting, the young woman would grow up to continue his campaign to undermine Imperial power through the time of the Galactic Civil War.

Eleni Syndulla and her husband, freedom fighter Cham Syndulla, fought for a free Ryloth in the Clone Wars in the hopes that their daughter, Hera, would reap the benefits of their sacrifices. But after the fall of the Republic, Eleni struggles to keep her daughter safe while simultaneously satisfying her own curiosity and ensuring that everything her family fought for would not be lost beneath the boot of Imperial rule.
