Five years before the battle of Yavin, on Morlana 1, in the Preox-Morlana corporation zone, Cassian Andor arrives in a brothel. He is looking for a girl from Kenari: his sister. Already targeted by the remarks of two guards of the corporation, Cassian finds them at the exit. A fight ensues, but Cassian kills one of them and wounds the other.
He flees to the planet Ferrix and hides in his ship, aided by a droid and a friend, Brasso.
On Morlana 1, a report is made on the events. The head of security prefers to keep the matter quiet, which surprises his deputy. This one is going to take the investigation in his account, he traces a ship which fled that night.
Cassian goes to see Bix, a mechanic, and asks her to contact a buyer for an object of the imperial guard. Bix is not at all sympathetic to Cassian's little plans. Accepting the request, she is followed by Timm, her boyfriend.
