However, Hera's mission was attacked above Concord Dawn by Protectors, whose leader Fenn Rau had sided with the Empire.

During the meeting, the rebels decided to send a diplomatic mission to seek permission from The Protectors, a Mandalorian faction, to allow them safe passage through the Concord Dawn System. The Liberator's conference room later hosted a meeting between Sato, Rex, and the Ghost Crew to discuss their options for opening a new hyperspace route into the Lothal Sector.

However, Hera managed to free the Liberator by ramming the Ghost into the Star Destroyer's tractor beam projector allowing Sato and his crew along with Rex to escape into hyperspace.

While attempting to escape Garel, the Liberator was caught in the tractor beam of the Relentless. After the Empire discovered the rebel presence on Garel, the Liberator and the rest of the rebels braved the Imperial blockade to escape into space, though one of her Taylander Shuttles was lost to enemy fire. The Liberator and the rest of the rebels also hid within the spaceports of Garel. The Liberator and her passengers then escaped into hyperspace where they rejoined the fleet. They also succeeded in sabotaging the Interdictor's gravity well projectors causing the ship to explode. The rebels succeeded in rescuing Ezra along with Sato and his crew. Caught completely by surprise, Sato was able to send a distress call before the Liberator lost power.įollowing the capture of the Liberator and her crew, Hera Syndulla sent Kanan Jarrus, Captain Rex, and C1-10P to rescue the ship's crew and Ezra. At some point during the conflict, the Liberator was transporting Commander Sato and Ezra Bridger, who were investigating the disappearance of a rebel patrol in the Del Zennis System when it was pulled out of hyperspace by an Imperial Interdictor. To distinguish her from the other cruisers in the fleet, the Liberator was given a blue paint job that almost entirely covered her hull. After an attack on the Rebel Fleet by Darth Vader, who destroyed the command ship Phoenix Home, Sato transferred his command to the Liberator. The Liberator was a Alderaan Cruiser that was part of the Phoenix Squadron.
