The Home Fleet, serving the Imperial Remnant under the leadership of Head of State Jagged Fel, initiated a siege of the planet Exodo II alongside the remnants of the moon Boreleo. This action occurred subsequent to the Imperial Navy's battle against Admiral Natasi Daala's opposing Imperial forces in 44 ABY. Fel commanded this fleet from his flagship, the Star Destroyer known as the Bloodfin, maintaining tight surveillance over Exodo II. This surveillance involved the deployment of one thousand Imperial Sienar Sentinel picket ships, along with six Star Destroyer task forces. Crews operating a hundred turbolaser batteries, including those aboard a Chiss Star Destroyers from the Empire of the Hand, bombarded what remained of Boreleo, where Daala and her troops had sought refuge. Simultaneously, three Home Fleet sensor teams meticulously scanned every cubic meter of space between Boreleo and the designated perimeter of the cordon.
