Hera first met Kanan Jarrus during a brawl on Gorse, where the fugitive Jedi was working as a mining-transport pilot. Kanan intervened when a gang Hera had hired turned against her, though the Twi’lek proved more than capable of defending herself. Kanan aided Hera’s investigation of the Imperial efficiency expert Count Vidian, and worked with her to thwart Vidian’s schemes. Hera then offered him a place aboard her starship, the Ghost. It was the beginning of a warm partnership.
