Background
Vi Moradi is a spy for the Resistance during the Galactic Cold War with the First Order. She would notably start to operate in the Black Spire Outpost on Batuu, a planet located in the Outer Rim near the Wild Space.
Sometime after the events of the Battle of Crait, Vi is on a mission to steal a datacard from the First Order, so she infiltrates a ship of the organization. Vi finds the datacard, however, before she can leave the ship, she is captured by Supreme Leader Kylo Ren. Kylo uses the Force to freeze her and asks where is the location of the new Resistance base. He threats Vi, saying that he will force her to confess the information if she chooses not comply. Before he could get any answers from Vi, Rey appears and realises her from Kylo's hold, allowing her to escape. With Rey and Chewbacca's help, Vi manages to leave the First Order ship safely.
