On a mission to acquire valuable asset, [sic] The Batch encounters smugglers after the same target.
Plot[]
Cid hires the Bad Batch to retrieve a Separatist tactical droid for its battle intel before it is destroyed at a Corellian decommissioning site. They encounter police droids guarding the facility, as well as Trace and Rafa Martez who are also after the droid. Wrecker accidentally hits his head and his inhibitor chip begins to activate. Tech and the sisters program the tactical droid to turn on the police droids, allowing them to escape, but the tactical droid is destroyed in the process. The sisters explain that they were retrieving it for a client who is fighting the Empire. Hunter gives them a data rod that has a copy of the droid's data that Tech made during the fight, and the sisters later tell their client how to find the Bad Batch.
Trivia[]
- The data rod, Tech used in the episode is similar to the computer spike seen in Star Wars Rebels "Call to Action".
- Data rods in Star Wars are portrayed as either small datachips or computer spikes with downloading information. This is similar to the real world USB flashdrive.
