Hera was infuriated when the other rebels disobeyed her order. But the loss of Kanan had hurt her deeply. So she reluctantly agreed to their plan to find Kanan by having Chopper pose as an Imperial courier droid.

Chopper discovered Kanan was being held on a Star Destroyer above the planet Mustafar, and Hera led the mission to infiltrate the warship and free him. The mission succeeded, reuniting Hera and Kanan, and the victorious rebels finally met Fulcrum, Hera’s contact with the larger rebel movement. The next phase of their struggle against the Empire was about to begin.
