Season 1
S1E1 · Kassa
Five years before the Battle of Yavin, Cassian Andor looks for his missing sister on the industrial planet of Morlana One. Cassian is antagonized in a brothel by two Pre-Mor Corporate Security officers, leading to an altercation where he kills one accidentally then murders the other. On his home planet of Ferrix, he attempts to hide his involvement by convincing his adoptive mother, Maarva, her droid, B2EMO, and his friend, Brasso, to cover for him. In possession of an N-S9 Starpath unit, a valuable piece of Imperial navigation technology, Cassian asks his friend Bix Caleen to connect him with a black-market buyer, which she reluctantly agrees to. Meanwhile, Bix's boyfriend, Timm, is suspicious of Cassian. To improve his rapport with Imperial authorities, Morlana One's chief inspector of security elects to cover up the two killings. However, his deputy, the dutiful Syril Karn, is determined to solve the case. He identifies Cassian's ship, traces it to Ferrix and learns that he is originally from the tribal planet Kenari. In a flashback, a younger Cassian, known as Kassa, joins a group on Kenari investigating a crashed ship. Kassa rebuffs his younger sister's efforts to join the search, leaving her behind in their encampment.
S1E2 · That Would Be Me
Timm, still suspicious of Bix's relationship with Cassian, reports Cassian to Pre-Mor Security, which has issued a warrant for his arrest. Syril enlists Sergeant Linus Mosk, an equally zealous Pre-Mor officer, to help arrest Cassian. B2EMO informs Cassian and Maarva of the warrant, and Cassian prepares to flee the planet. Meanwhile, Luthen Rael, Bix's buyer, travels to Ferrix to obtain the Starpath unit. In a flashback, Kassa's group locate the crashed ship near a massive abandoned industrial strip-mining operation. When their leader is killed by a crew member of the downed ship, the tribe kills the attacker and flees from the crash site. Kassa stays behind to explore the ship.
S1E3 · Reckoning
Luthen arrives on Ferrix and meets Cassian in an abandoned factory. Syril and Mosk also appear with a dozen security men and confront Maarva, who refuses to cooperate. Intercepting a transmission from Cassian to B2EMO, Syril pinpoints Cassian's position. Cassian intends to sell the Starpath unit and leave Ferrix, but Luthen tries to recruit him into his rebel network, citing Cassian's repeated success at stealing from and sabotaging Imperial ships. When Syril's security men raid the factory, Luthen's preparation and experience help the two men escape the factory, subduing Karn along the way. After learning of Timm's betrayal, Bix rushes to aid Cassian, only to be stopped by the "Corpos." Timm is killed when he attempts to intervene. One of the landing pods in which the security team arrived is sabotaged by Brasso and destroyed. Luthen and Cassian eventually escape the planet while Syril and Mosk radio a request for evacuation. In a flashback, Maarva and her husband, Clem, scavenge the crashed ship on Kenari and find Kassa. Maarva decides to take him with them, fearing for his life if he is discovered there by the Republic.
S1E4 · Aldhani
Luthen takes Cassian to the planet Aldhani, posting him to a robbery mission there. Cassian is reluctant but eventually agrees to cooperate. Luthen asks him to use a pseudonym among the rebels, and Cassian chooses 'Clem'. Having promised Cassian 200,000 credits as payment, Luthen gives him a kyber crystal as a down payment, requesting its return upon completion of the job. Vel, the rebel group's leader, introduces Cassian to the rest of the team (Skeen, Taramyn, Nemik, and Cinta, as well as Imperial Lieutenant Gorn) but keeps Luthen's involvement a secret. They explain to Cassian that they plan on stealing the payroll of an Imperial sector from the Aldhani garrison in three days' time. They will be taking advantage of "The Eye," a rare natural phenomenon in Aldhani's sky, to make a timed escape, given the slow speed of their getaway vehicle. Meanwhile on Coruscant, Luthen, living a double life as an antiques dealer, meets with Senator Mon Mothma, and they discuss the challenges of keeping their opposition to the Empire hidden. Syril returns to live with his mother Eedy on Coruscant after being castigated and fired by Imperial supervisor Blevin, with the Morlana system being placed under Imperial authority. Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) Lieutenant Dedra Meero seeks access and authority over the Ferrix incident regarding the recovered Starpath unit, but is opposed by Blevin and their superior Major Partagaz.
S1E5 · The Axe Forgets
On Aldhani, Cassian hides his past from the others and is met with distrust, particularly from Skeen. Nemik attempts to enlighten Cassian on his ideals of the rebellion, while Taramyn trains Cassian and the others for the heist. Lieutenant Gorn molds his men to fit his purposes of assisting the robbery, while growing more and more disgusted with the lack of respect shown towards the Dhanis. While traveling to the garrison, Cassian reveals that he is a mercenary after Skeen discovers the kyber crystal, and Vel struggles to maintain cohesion amidst the tension. On Coruscant, Syril tensely discusses new career prospects with Eedy. Mon Mothma establishes a new charitable foundation while managing increasingly bitter relationships with her husband Perrin and daughter Leida. Supervisor Blevin seizes a hotel as the new ISB headquarters on Ferrix. Meanwhile, his rival Dedra and her assistant Heert reach the conclusion that the rebels are conducting a series of coordinated heists on Imperial assets. Luthen anxiously awaits a transmission from Vel's group, with his assistant Kleya Marki preaching a calm head.
S1E6 · The Eye
Aided by Gorn, the rebels infiltrate the garrison by posing as an escort squad for Gorn's superior, Commandant Jayhold Beehaz. As the Dhanis arrive and begin to celebrate The Eye, the group take Beehaz's family hostage, kill a colonel, and force Beehaz to give them access to the payroll vault. While loading the credits onto a freighter, the group are discovered by Imperial forces. Gorn and Taramyn are killed in the ensuing firefight and Cinta escapes on foot disguised as an officer, while Cassian, Nemik, Skeen, and Vel escape aboard the freighter. Nemik is crushed by an unsecured load of credits on takeoff, but is able to navigate Cassian through The Eye to safety. Landing on a remote planet to tend to Nemik's severe and ultimately fatal injuries, Skeen secretly proposes to Cassian that they betray Vel and split the payroll between themselves. Cassian kills Skeen, reports the conversation to Vel, and informs her of his intention to take the sum he was promised as payment, leaving her the rest, including Luthen's crystal. Vel gives Cassian Nemik's manifesto in accordance with his dying wish. Back on Coruscant, the ISB agents are gathered to formulate reprisals to the heist, while Luthen quietly celebrates.

Mon Mothma meets with Tay Kolma, an old friend and banker, and asks him to help her access family funds. Cassian returns to Ferrix to settle old debts and learns that people blame him for the Imperial security crackdown there. The presence of stormtroopers on Ferrix reminds him of the murder of his adoptive father, Clem, by Imperial clone troopers at a protest on Rix Road. Cassian tries to persuade Maarva to leave Ferrix with him, but she decides to stay and resist the increased Imperial presence. Cassian travels to the tourist paradise of Niamos, adopting the name "Keef Girgo". Some time later, as he walks along the beachfront to a store, he is unjustly arrested by a shoretrooper for supposedly fleeing the scene of rebel activities, and sentenced to six years of imprisonment.
S1E8 · Narkina 5
Cassian is brought to the Narkina 5 island prison, a hard labor camp with thousands of prisoners manufacturing Imperial machinery. His floor manager, Kino Loy, inducts him into the strict disciplinary regime. Vel and Cinta travel to Ferrix to search for Cassian. When Maarva falls ill, Bix attempts to contact Luthen about Cassian's whereabouts, but Luthen, heeding Kleya's counsel, does not answer. Luthen then leaves Coruscant to meet with Saw Gerrera. He attempts to hire Gerrera's rebel cell as air support for a raid on an Imperial power station at Spellhaus organized by Anto Kreegyr, but is turned down. Dedra questions Syril about his experiences on Ferrix, but declines his offer to help with her investigation. She leads a unit to Ferrix herself, where she apprehends Bix.
S1E9 · Nobody's Listening!
Dedra and Imperial scientist Dr. Gorst torture Bix for information and discover that Cassian may have been involved in the Aldhani heist. However, because of Bix's lack of knowledge, they fail to learn anything about Luthen, whom Dedra has dubbed "Axis", observing that much Rebel activity is centered around him. The ISB capture a Rebel pilot from Kreegyr's group, who reveals that a power station on Spellhaus is set to be raided. Mon Mothma reunites with Vel, revealed to be her cousin, and encourages her to keep a low profile, maintaining the facade of a rich and apolitical young woman. Mon Mothma and Tay Kolma continue working to covertly gather funds for rebel activities. Meanwhile, an elderly member of Cassian's prison work crew named Ulaf is euthanized by a prison medic when he suffers a massive stroke days from his release date. The medic confirms to Cassian and Kino a disturbing rumor: a prisoner being "released" at the end of his sentence was sent back around to work at the same prison and the guards killed all the prisoners on that level in a cover-up. As the two realize that they will never be released alive, Cassian convinces Kino to attempt a breakout.
S1E10 · One Way Out
After talking with Cassian, Kino convinces his shift to join and improve upon the escape plan. The next day, Cassian disables his unit's security system, allowing the prisoners to overpower the few guards and escape. Kino uses the prison's intercom system to incite rebellion throughout the rest of the prison, but reveals that he can't swim. Cassian swims with the other escapees and reaches land. Mon Mothma meets with Davo Sculdun, a shady businessman offering financial help for her projects, but declines after Sculdun requests that she arrange a meeting between her 13-year-old daughter Leida and his 14-year-old son Stekan, a step towards their Chandrilan tradition of arranged marriage. ISB supervisor Lonni Jung, secretly a rebel informant, meets with Luthen and updates him on ISB activities. The two men reflect on how they are both trapped in their roles.

Vel informs Kleya of Maarva's death and learns of Mon Mothma's reluctant plan to marry off Leida. Leida begins taking part in gatherings that promote Chandrilan traditions, much to the distress of Mon Mothma and Vel. Syril learns about the funeral from Linus Mosk. Saw Gerrera decides at the last moment to assist Kreegyr's attack on Spellhaus, but Luthen advises him against it, revealing that the plan has leaked to the ISB. To avoid attracting suspicion from the ISB, Saw agrees to let Kreegyr and his men be ambushed by imperial forces. Flying back to Coruscant, Luthen escapes from an Imperial patrol, destroying several TIE fighters and the tractor beam deployed by a Cantwell-Class Arrestor Cruiser. On Narkina 5, with help from Keredians Dewi and Freedi, Cassian and fellow prisoner Ruescott Melshi are able to escape the moon and recover Cassian's belongings from Niamos. They part ways after Cassian discovers that Maarva has died, intending to publicly expose the injustice in the Imperial prison system.
S1E12 · Rix Road
Cassian returns to Ferrix for Maarva's funeral and learns of Bix's imprisonment. Dedra and the local Imperial garrison prepare to capture Andor for questioning regarding "Axis".

Season 2
S2E1 · One Year Later
One year after the Ferrix uprising, Cassian impersonates an Imperial test pilot to steal a prototype of a new Imperial ship, the TIE Avenger. Delivering it to a jungle moon, he is ambushed by a rogue band of squabbling guerillas, the Maya Pei Brigade. On the agricultural planet Mina-Rau, Bix, Brasso, Wilmon, and B2EMO fear detection by the Empire while in the undocumented employ of a local farmer; Bix suffers from PTSD caused by Gorst's torture. On Chandrila, Mon Mothma prepares for her daughter Leida's arranged marriage, but is informed by Tay Kolma that his financial investments have turned sour, ironically due to rebel interference, and that he feels underappreciated for his help in resolving Mon's financial irregularities. Orson Krennic oversees a secret meeting of Imperial officers who plan to use force to obtain the rare mineral resources of the planet Ghorman, an initiative to which Dedra is reluctantly assigned. Dedra suggests that the mission's anti-Ghorman propaganda be accompanied by the provocation of a weak insurgency that the Empire can discredit. The tension among the Maya Pei insurgents reaches a boiling point, and they kill several of their own as Cassian is taken hostage.
S2E2 · Sagrona Teema
On the jungle moon, Cassian is held prisoner while the Maya Pei Brigade splits into two territorial factions at a stalemate. On Mina-Rau, Imperial officers audit the workers' papers; Bix, Brasso, and Wilmon arrange to move to a different part of the planet to avoid discovery. On Coruscant, Dedra and Syril, now a couple living together, prepare for a social event they have been putting off. As the preparations for Leida's wedding conclude, Mothma discusses the possibility of Tay's defection with Luthen, who says they should attempt to ascertain Tay's price for keeping silent about the Rebellion. Cassian slips away from his captors as their conflict escalates and flees the moon (revealed to be Yavin IV ) in the stolen TIE Avenger.
S2E3 · Harvest
Cassian makes contact with Kleya and is able to ascertain the danger his friends are in on Mina-Rau. Dedra and Syril host Syril's mother Eedy for dinner, during which Eedy repeatedly belittles Syril, prompting Dedra to establish firm boundaries with her. On Chandrila, Leida's arranged marriage to Stekan Sculdun takes place, followed by a lavish reception. As the Ferrix fugitives prepare to leave Mina-Rau, Imperial officer Lieutenant Krole sexually assaults Bix, but she kills him in a violent struggle. In the ensuing skirmish, Brasso is killed by a stormtrooper. Cassian arrives in the TIE Avenger and dispatches the Imperial troops. Bix and Wilmon flee on the TIE Avenger with Cassian, all devastated by Brasso's death. Having been unable to come up with a price to ensure Tay's silence, Luthen informs Mothma that he has decided to have him killed. Mon, distressed, engulfs herself in drinking and dancing as Vel watches Tay get taken away by Cinta.
S2E4 · Ever Been to Ghorman?
One year after the incident on Mina-Rau, Cassian and Bix have become active operators for Luthen and hide out on Coruscant; Bix is still beset by nightmares. On Ghorman, the Empire begins to construct an armory. Syril, with Dedra and Partagaz's backing, takes up a position in Palmo, the Ghorman capital, and infiltrates the Ghorman Front, the local rebel group, by feigning sympathy to their cause. Upon learning from Jung that Dedra is secretly supervising the ISB's operations on the planet, Luthen sends Cassian to assess the rebels. Wilmon is tasked with teaching Saw Gerrera's lieutenant Pluti how to configure a machine that extracts rhydonium, a fuel source for the Empire's starships that they plan to steal. Mothma unsuccessfully attempts to rally support to kill the renewal of a bill giving broad powers to the ISB.
S2E5 · I Have Friends Everywhere
Kleya learns that Sculdun intends to audit his antiquity collection having discovered a forgery, thus threatening to expose a bug she has planted in his gallery and forcing her to extract it during his upcoming Investiture party. Cassian connects with the Ghorman rebels and learns that they plan to intercept a weapons shipment, but he judges them to be too inexperienced and shoots down the plan, much to their frustration. Syril reports back to Coruscant with news of this heist, with Partagaz and Dedra agreeing to allow it to pan out to stir up the rebels. Saw kills Pluti after learning that he is a traitor, and has Wilmon work the extractor on the heist in his place.
S2E6 · What a Festive Evening
Cassian insists to Luthen that Ghorman's rebels are unprepared, and is resentful that Luthen secretly made contact with Bix to persuade her to return to action. Luthen chastises him for his short-sighted vision and instead sends Vel and Cinta to help the rebels pull off the heist. Vel and Cinta fully reconcile and rekindle their romance. The heist is successful, but one of the fighters disobeys Vel's orders and brings a blaster, only to accidentally kill Cinta when a passerby interferes, devastating Vel. At Sculdun's Investiture party, Krennic and Mothma debate the ethics of war while Kleya manages to extract her bug using Jung as a distraction. Bix breaks into Gorst's new office and uses his own torture device on him before leaving with Cassian, who remotely blows up the facility.
S2E7 · Messenger
One year later, the Rebels have begun coordinating military operations on Yavin IV, where Cassian and Bix now live. Wilmon tells them that Dedra is on Ghorman—whose rebel activities have been portrayed by state-sponsored media as terrorism instigated by outside agitators—and encourages Cassian to help assassinate her. Despite his concerns over the mission being from Luthen, Cassian agrees and travels with Wilmon to Ghorman. Bix is told by a Force healer that Cassian will be vital to the Rebellion. On Ghorman, Dedra finds her position temporarily supplanted by Captain Kaido, sent by Partagaz to oversee the Imperial subjugation of the planet, while Syril begins to doubt Dedra's line on outside agitators, given his interactions with the rebels.
S2E8 · Who Are You?
Kaido instigates a protest in Palmo's central square while closing off the available exits, and intentionally deploys inexperienced riot police into the volatile crowd. Arriving in the square alongside the protestors, Syril realizes his role in enabling the Empire's manipulative actions and violently confronts Dedra in her office, beginning to strangle her, and forcing her to tell him the truth about the Empire's intentions on Ghorman before he storms out. Following a directive from Partagaz, Dedra reluctantly orders an Imperial sniper to open fire on a member of the riot police unit, triggering a shootout between the rebels and the Imperial forces. The protestors attempt to flee, but are massacred by Imperial blaster fire and KX security droids. Amidst the chaos, a dazed Syril wanders the square as Cassian seeks to assassinate Dedra through her office window. Syril spots Cassian and recognizes him, and proceeds to physically attack him. The two fight and Syril gains the upper hand, taking Cassian’s gun, but hesitates to shoot him; Syril is then shot dead by Carro Rylanz, the Ghorman rebel leader. The resistance manages to incapacitate a KX enforcer droid by ramming it with an armored vehicle. Cassian escapes Ghorman with the droid while Wilmon stays to aid his Ghorman girlfriend Dreena in broadcasting the news to the galaxy. In the aftermath, Dedra and Eedy separately confront their losses as Imperial news outlets place blame on outside agitators for the violence on Ghorman.
S2E9 · Welcome to the Rebellion
In the aftermath of the Ghorman massacre, the Empire frames the incident as an insurrection. Mothma writes a Senate speech denouncing Emperor Palpatine and prepares to flee to Yavin IV. Senator Bail Organa chooses to stay behind to aid the Rebellion in secret. Luthen learns from Jung that Bail's security team is compromised and assigns Cassian to extract Mothma from Coruscant. Meanwhile, Luthen clashes with Mothma over the depth of his subterfuge within the Rebellion and his choice to have Tay killed. With Organa's help, Mothma takes the floor of the Senate and powerfully condemns Emperor Palpatine and the genocidal Empire's manipulation of the truth. Cassian convinces Mothma to leave with him, killing the spy in Organa's rival security team and Mothma's ISB-planted driver Kloris; he brings Mothma to the safehouse on Coruscant where she publicly positions herself with the Rebellion. Cassian accompanies the injured Wilmon back to Yavin IV. Disturbed by recent events, Cassian resolves to leave and begin a new life with Bix, but Bix departs during the night, leaving Cassian a message that implores him to stay and help the Rebellion and promises that she will find him again once it succeeds. Later, technicians reprogram K-2SO, the stolen KX droid, to serve the Rebellion.
S2E10 · Make It Stop
One year after the events on Ghorman, Lonni reports to Luthen that the Empire's grand energy project is actually a weapon, and that Dedra has likely uncovered their identities. Though Luthen initially promises Lonni and his family safe passage from Coruscant, he kills him to ensure his silence. As Luthen destroys the communications system in his shop, Dedra confronts him with the stolen Starpath unit, deducing he is Axis. Luthen attempts suicide to avoid interrogation, but is taken alive to a hospital, while Kleya watches from afar. Flashbacks reveal that Luthen is a former Imperial sergeant, Lear, who defected after his unit massacred Kleya's hometown. Finding Kleya hiding on his ship, he informally adopts her and they begin selling antiques while waging resistance against the Empire. In the present, Dedra is arrested for her overreach, and Kleya infiltrates the hospital and disconnects Luthen's life support system.
S2E11 · Who Else Knows?
Dedra is interrogated by Krennic, who admonishes her for allowing sensitive information about the secret Imperial weapons project to be leaked from her database, and for confronting Luthen without sufficient backup. The investigation into Dedra is assigned to her former assistant, Heert, who identifies Kleya from security footage. Partagaz declares Kleya a public health concern to expedite her arrest. In the Coruscant safehouse, Kleya sends Wilmon a distress signal, prompting him to send Cassian, Melshi, and K-2SO there to retrieve Luthen, alienating the group further from Yavin IV leadership. Dedra gives Heert insight into Luthen's communications technologies from her cell, enabling his team to track Kleya's signal to the safehouse, where they arrive close behind Cassian and Melshi. Kleya passes on Luthen's crucial intelligence, but asks to stay behind given the distrust of Luthen among the rebels on Yavin IV. As Heert's team closes in, K-2SO breaks into the building in pursuit.
S2E12 · Jedha, Kyber, Erso
K-2SO kills Heert and his team, but Kleya is wounded. Cassian, Melshi, and K-2SO take her back to Yavin IV where they are grounded by Organa for their disobedience. Much of the Rebel leadership, including Organa, are scornful of Luthen and question the veracity of his new intelligence, but Mothma is willing to hear Kleya out. Vel speaks with Cassian, who convinces her of Luthen's integrity; the two toast their fallen comrades, while Kleya comes to terms with her new role on Yavin IV. Interrupted while listening to Nemik's rebel manifesto, Partagaz commits suicide just as he is about to be arrested. Dedra is imprisoned in a prison facility similar to Narkina 5 and breaks down crying. When a Rebel informant associated with Saw repeatedly contacts Yavin IV to talk with Cassian, Draven realizes that the evidence for the Imperial weapons project is too great to be a trap. After meeting with Draven and Mothma, Organa agrees to let Cassian and K-2SO fly to Kafrene to meet with the informant. On Mina-Rau, B2EMO plays with another droid, as Bix cradles a baby and looks wistfully toward the horizon.
