Fassio Ablund was a human from the moon Jedha who acted as an informant for the Galactic Empire, providing information on resistance fighter Saw Gerrera's partisans. He was then declared a criminal by the Empire after getting caught attempting to steal armor from an Imperial trooper's corpse and was forced to hide in Jedha City from both factions.
In 1 BBY, he aided the partisans in ambushing a group of Imperials in Tythoni Square, firing from a balcony until an Imperial tank destroyed the building. Jedha City was destroyed by the Empire's Death Star superweapon soon after.
Biography[]
Fassio Ablund was a human[2] who acted as an informant for the Galactic Empire on his homeworld,[1] the moon Jedha.[3] Seeking protection from the partisan insurgency of resistance fighter Saw Gerrera, Ablund sold the secrets of their movements[2] and activities to the Empire to ensure his own survival. He then fell from grace with the Empire after getting caught attempting to steal armor from the corpse of an Imperial trooper.[3] Declared a criminal,[2] Ablund's protection immediately ceased and, with no allies left, he was forced to keep a low profile in Jedha City while avoiding both groups that he had betrayed.[3]
Despite this, Ablund aided the partisans[4] in 1 BBY[5] when they ambushed a group of Imperials carrying kyber crystals through[4] Tythoni Square[2] in the city. The partisans hid in the surrounding buildings and streets before attacking once several stormtroopers and a TX-225 GAVw "Occupier" combat assault tank carrying the crystals had entered the square. Ablund was stood on a balcony overlooking the square, firing down on his former Imperial allies until the tank fired into the building where Ablund had been stood, destroying the balconies. The partisans succeeded in defeating the Imperials and stealing the crystals, but Jedha City was destroyed soon after by the Empire's Death Star superweapon.[4] The blast killed many partisans, although some did escape.[6]
