- "The network's been built, it's up. It grows or it dies. We've waited long enough."
- ―Luthen Rael
The Axis network[11] was a secret spying operation[2] and resistance network[1] that was part of the[9] then informal[12] Rebel Alliance.[9] Formed in 15 BBY,[8] it was led by Luthen Rael from his covert headquarters in the Galactic Antiquities and Objects of Interest gallery on the Imperial capital of Coruscant during the Imperial Era.[1] Kleya Marki was Rael's emissary, messenger, and enforcer for the operation.[2] Meanwhile, Luthen sought to build and expand the network with Imperial Senator Mon Mothma[3] of Chandrila,[13] who used her family funds to help the network grow[6] and had established a rebel cell of her own,[14] and other contacts throughout the galaxy, including Cassian Jeron Andor, Saw Gerrera, and Anto Kreegyr.[1] Vel Sartha led a rebel infiltration team for the Aldhani heist,[3] and took later missions from Marki,[1] while ISB Supervisor Lonni Jung acted as a mole within the Bureau and fed intel to Rael.[15]
In 5 BBY, operatives Vel Sartha and Taramyn Barcona led the heist on Aldhani, organized by Luthen Rael, with the goal of stealing the sector's quarterly payroll of more than 80 million credits. Assisting with the heist were network contacts Cassian Andor, Karis Nemik, Cinta Kaz, Arvel Skeen, and the rebel spy Lieutenant Gorn.[3]
