Boba Fett, The Mandalorian and Cara Dune are all vested in finding Grogu. Dune uses her Marshal status to find out where Migs Mayfeld is being held in confinement. The chapter opens with the newly formed team landing on the prison planet to retrieve Mayfeld. Migs looks decidedly confused and then a look of terror crossed his face as he saw Boba Fett walk down the gang plank of Slave 1. When he realized it was not the Mandalorian he relaxed for a mere two seconds and then Mando sauntered down the gang way as well. Mayfeld knows the Imperial Remnant’s codes and that is why he is being enlisted. As an ex-ISB agent, they need Mayfeld to help figure out where Moff Gideon is.
In order to accomplish this mission, Mayfeld has to plug into an imperial remnant terminal. He identifies Morak as the closest out of the way planet to find an imperial remnant terminal to plug into.
Morak is being used by the imperial remnant to mine and refine rydonium, a volatile starship fuel. The people of Morak severely dislike the imperials. Pirates attack the imperials transporting the rydonium from the mine to the refinery on a routine basis.
“Yeah. Empire, New Republic. It’s all the same to these people. Invaders on their land is all we are. I’m just sayin’, somewhere someone in this galaxy is ruling and others are being ruled. I mean, look at your race. Do you think all those people that died in wars fought by Mandalorians actually had a choice? So how are they any different than the Empire. If you were born on Mandalore, you believe one thing, if you’re born on Alderaan, you believe something’ else. But guess what? Neither one of them exist anymore. Hey, I’m just a realist. I’m a survivor, just like you.”
Migs makes a good point. Of course, Djarin is not outwardly impressed but you can tell over time that Migs left an impression on him. Especially with the next comment:
“I don’t know. Seems to me like your rule start to change when you get desperate. I mean, look at ya. You said you couldn’t take off your helmet off, and now you got a stormtrooper one on, so what’s the rule? Is it you can’t take off your Mando helmet, or you can’t show your face? ‘Cause there is a difference. Look, I’m just sayin’, we’re all the same. Everybody’s got their line they don’t cross until things get messy. As far as I’m concerned, if you can make it through your day and still sleep at night, you’re doin’ better than most.”
