Following a failed attempt to capture an Acklay-class mobile fortress, the Mon Calamari Rangers brought a group of rescued refugees back to their grotto. However, Sinde would not allow the refugees to stay, as they had no way to feed them, and an increased presence at the base would risk the possibility of the Imperials finding them. Tanquar argued with Sinde over the decision, but the refugees agreed with the Imperial Knight's assessment, as they did not want to danger their protectors.
