The Antilles Extraction.The Rebellion begins suffering heavy casualties due to Imperial ambushes on their convoys, and they risk running out of pilots. Fortunately, they receive a tip from a new "Fulcrum" that several Imperial cadets at Skystrike Academy are willing to defect. Sabine is selected to infiltrate the academy and she meets and befriends a fellow cadet named Wedge Antilles (Nathan Kress). Ezra and Kanan wait in space with a transport ready to evacuate Sabine once she finds the defectors. Meanwhile, Governor Pryce and Agent Kallus arrive at the academy to root out the defectors. Sabine figures out Wedge is one of the defectors, and assures him that she will get him and his friends Hobbie and Rake to the Rebellion. Pryce then organizes a trap by arranging a training flight in space. Sabine and Wedge take the bait, only to find out their fighters have been sabotaged. Sabine, Wedge, and Hobbie are captured and Rake is killed while Ezra and Kanan are forced to retreat. Pryce attempts to interrogate Sabine, but Sabine manages to knock her out and escape, freeing Wedge and Hobbie as well. Kallus secretly provides assistance to Sabine in order to repay his debt to Zeb. Sabine and Wedge manage to steal a TIE Bomber, rendezvous with Ezra, and return to the Rebel base safely.
