Coruscant
When Cade Skywalker tries to infiltrate the Sith Temple on Coruscant, Jae flies with the rest of Skull Squadron to try to apprehend him alive. Cade is able to evade them and they return to base. In the hanger Jae watches as Moff Rulf Yage yells at his daughter, Skull Capitan Gunn Yage. After the Moff leaves Jae asks how she survived her childhood with such a strict father but she dismisses him, defending her father and they all go to a cantina for drinks. About a week later Jae and Skull Squadron try to capture the Mynock again, this time it is captained by Chak, but they are ordered to stand down before they can capture the ship. Jae is mad about this but follows orders anyways and flies off.
