A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....
Sabine Wren was born in 21 BBY.
Sabine Wren is the graffiti-slinging demolitions expert of the Ghost crew, whose painted starbird became the emblem of the Rebel Alliance. Raised in Clan Wren during the Empire's grip on Mandalore, she built the Arc Pulse Generator as an Imperial cadet. When she saw the weapon turned against her own people, she deserted, and the break left her estranged from her family. After a stint as a bounty hunter with Ketsu Onyo, she joined Hera Syndulla and Kanan Jarrus's rebel cell and harried the Empire across Lothal and beyond. In 2 BBY she found the Darksaber on Dathomir and learned to wield it. She used it to reconcile with her mother, Ursa, helped bring down Viceroy Gar Saxon, and rallied the clans against the Empire before giving the blade to Bo-Katan Kryze and destroying her own weapon for good. She fought in the liberation of Lothal, where she lost Kanan and saw Ezra Bridger vanish with Thrawn, then stayed behind to guard the planet. She later trained under Ahsoka Tano, but they drifted apart after the Empire's purge of Mandalore killed her family. In 9 ABY she crossed into another galaxy, found Ezra on Peridea, and was left stranded there as Thrawn escaped. On Peridea she began to reach the Force.
