Stationed on the Vector during the Blackwing infection, the Freebird served as a haven for Commander Gorrister and other survivors of the incident. Trapped in the shuttle for ten weeks, Gorrister and his men, starving, were often forced to partake in cannibalism and to throw other survivors out of the shuttle to the hungry blackwing zombies tearing at the hull.
After Jareth Sartoris, an Imperial officer, infiltrated the Vector to disable the tractor beam that had pulled his escape pod into the Star Destroyer's hangar, the recoil from his use of a stationary X-wing starfighter's blaster cannons caused the starfighter to crash into the Freebird. He entered the ship for refuge, where he met Gorrister and the other survivors, who explained the full extent of the situation to him. Sartosis killed Gorrister by using his head as a battering ram to open the escape hatch.
The Freebird was the means of escape for the other survivors of the incident: Zahara Cody, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Trig Longo. Sartoris sacrificed himself to allow the others access to the shuttle. The shuttle was later sold to Black Hammer pirates in Gal'fian'deprisi, Galantos.
