History[]
In1 BBY, therebelsEzra Bridger,Sabine Wren,Kanan Jarrus, andRyder Azadi were brought there from acave in the northern hemisphere by three wolves while fleeing anImperialassassin. The structure remindedEzra Bridger and Jarrus, both Jedi, of theLothal Jedi Temple.[1] After the discovery, theLothal resistance group decided to use the dwelling as a base.[2]
FollowingGeneralHera Syndulla'sfailed attack on theImperial Armory Complex, the Spectres and Lothal resistance retreated to the base. The Spectres under the leadership of Ezra assembled threeLoth-bat gliders, which they used to infiltrate theImperial Complex inCapital City.[4] Following the death of Kanan, Hera mourned for her lover insider the caves of the cliff dwelling. Ryder,Mart Mattin, andJai Kell also listened to apropaganda broadcast byAlton Kastle claiming that the rebellion on Lothal was a lost cause. However, Sabine andGarazeb Orrelios subsequently discovered that the destruction of theLothal City fuel depot had damaged the Imperial Armory Complex.[5]
After discussing their plans, the Spectres departed from the cliff dwelling on amission to save theLothal Jedi Temple.[6] The Lothal cliff dwelling was later the site of a skirmish between the Lothal rebels andGovernorArihnda Pryce's forces. However, this was a ruse by Ezra and Ryder to lure Governor Pryce into a trap as part of their plan to expel the Galactic Empire fromCapital City. Despite significant casualties, Pryce's forces were defeated with the help of Hera's reinforcements and a pack of loth-wolves. As a result, the rebels managed to capture Pryce and severalstormtroopers.[7]
Following Pryce's capture, the rebels departed on two capturedpatrol transports to infiltrate the Imperial Complex in Capital City. TheNoghri assassinRukh stole a third patrol transport and managed to alertGrand AdmiralThrawn about the rebels' plans to seize the Imperial Complex. In response,Wolffe, Mart, andCikatro Vizago departed on theGhost on a secret mission to contact a pod ofpurrgil as part of Ezra's back-up plan.[8]
