Besides, if those other "Mandalorians" had been living there for years, how could they not have been aware of the massive operational Imperial base within quick walking distance, with the direction of escape so conveniently chosen to lead directly there and into a mantrap?
It's possible, but it would be a big plot hole. After all, the name of the episode is The Spies, and the only one we actually know of for sure we saw in the first 60 seconds, so there has to be at least one more somewhere else in the show.
We just don't know who it is.
Yet!
