With the Shield Gate closed, no large data files, like the Death Star plans, could be sent. Blue Leader, General Antoc Merrick, led the air battle on Scarif, and Laren Joma provided Rogue One with reinforcements from her U-wing. When Admiral Raddus and his fleet arrived, the Shield Gate was closed, allowing only seven T-65 X-wings and one U-wing belonging to Blue Squadron to make it through to the atmosphere. Cassian gave the signal and the explosives were set off, luring troopers away from the base while Cassian, Jyn, and K-2SO progressed further into the facility. While they infiltrated the base, other members of Rogue One, under the command of Ruescott Melshi and Pao, covertly moved around the island, planting explosives.

The Rebels killed the inspection team that boarded their shuttle, and Jyn and Cassian took their uniforms to infiltrate the base along with K-2SO.

īodhi was able to use the codes he had as an Imperial pilot to gain access to the planet and pass the Shield Gate. They, along with the original six, officially became Rogue One when Rook identified them to the Rebel flight deck with the name. After Jyn failed to convince the Alliance High Command to invade Scarif, she found that a small group of Rebels were willing to follow her to Scarif. The remainder of the group was formed from the Special Forces Trackers Unit, the Andor team, the Marine Corps, and the 4th SpecForce Regiment. They managed to escape just before the city, and the temple, were obliterated by the Death Star. Andor brought the defector, Bodhi Rook, with them when the group escaped via the U-wing piloted by K-2SO.

After Jyn learned of her father's plan through a holo recording sent with a defected Imperial pilot, Governor Tarkin ordered a single reactor ignition strike on Jedha City. While K-2SO returned to the Captain's ship, the other four were captured by members of Gerrera's cell. After assisting in an attack on an Imperial patrol in the city, conducted by Gerrera's rebel cell, the Partisans, they met Chirrut Îmwe and Baze Malbus, both Guardians of the Whills. The two were accompanied by the reprogrammed Imperial KX-series security droid K-2SO.

The group was started when Captain Cassian Andor was tasked with taking Jyn Erso, daughter of Galen Erso, to Jedha in order to get information from Saw Gerrera. ' Well there is now.' ―A Rebel technician and K-2SO
