Plot summary[]

CHAPTER 8: REDEMPTION

Upon receiving a transmission from Greef Karga proposing a new plan, Mando reconnected with Cara Dune and the Ugnaught Kuiil to assist with the mission:
Clear Mando's name with the Bounty Hunters Guild and kill the Client to protect the child.

During their long journey across Nevarro, they are attacked by reptivians that greatly injure Greef. After Mando saves him, Greef guiltily reveals he had been planning to kill Mando.
Mando then sent Kuiil back to the ship with the child, but the Ugnaught was struck down by stormtroopers. Now Moff Gideon has cornered Mando and the team,
demanding they hand over the child….
