Narkina 5

"Narkina 5" is the eighth episode of the first season of the American streaming television series Andor, based on Star Wars created by George Lucas. It was written by Beau Willimon and directed by Toby Haynes.

The episode stars Diego Luna as Cassian Andor, who reprises his role from the Star Wars spinoff film, Rogue One (2016). Haynes was hired in September 2020 after a production delay due the COVID-19 pandemic, and Tony Gilroy joined the series as showrunner in early 2019, replacing Stephen Schiff. Both executive produce alongside Luna and Kathleen Kennedy.

"Narkina 5" was released on Disney+ on October 26, 2022.

Syril Karn is pulled from his now monotonous life as a computer monitor by Dedra Meero, who questions him on what happened with Cassian Andor on Ferrix. Karn is given Blevin's report, and tells her what is missing. He asks to be reinstated, but Meero tells him to stop raising alarms, and forget the whole thing.

Senator Mon Mothma and her husband Perrin Fertha are joined by Tay Kolma. Perrin wanders off, and Kolma seizes the chance to tell Mon the Empire's crackdown is making it hard to get at the money. Mon's daughter Leida finds them, and wonders aloud why Kolma is always around. At a banquet, Mothma learns Kolma had to leave, and expresses discomfort, mentioning that she and Fertha were married as young teenagers.

On Ferrix, Bix Caleen and Brasso tend to an injured Maarva Andor, who fell attempting to open a secret tunnel into the new Empire base. Meanwhile, Vel Sartha spies on them, and is reunited with her girlfriend Cinta Kaz. Bix activates a radio transmitter, but does not receive a response.

On Coruscant, Kleya Marki learns from Bix of Maarva's injury and informs Luthen Rael. Rael decides to fly to Segra Milo where he meets with fellow rebel Saw Gerrera. He asks Gerrera to listen to Anto Kreegyr's proposal, but Gerrera refuses.

Meanwhile Andor, under the alias Keef Girgo, is sent to the prison center on the water moon Narkina 5 where the floors are electrified and each prisoner competes with other groups to avoid nightly torture and for the privilege of taste and flavour in their daily food. He meets the floor commander, fellow prisoner Kino Loy, and befriends another member of his group, Ruescott Melshi. After about a month in the prison, a fellow prisoner commits suicide by stepping on the electrified floors, but an unsympathetic Kino Loy orders them all to bed.
