Whether it\u2019s shifting old starfighters between rebel fleets or towing broken-down blockade runners for repair, Anami\u2019s now personally responsible for more suspicious rebel-aligned traffic than a Bothan arms deal on sale day.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;max-width:400px;margin:auto;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/nDYnF4R.png\" alt=\"nDYnF4R.png\"><\/div>\n<p>And Bork?
