Following the demise of the Relentless, Operation Blunt Stick was a concise mission spearheaded by Keyan Farlander. Its objective was the elimination of an Imperial surveillance probe located within a minefield. This action aimed to facilitate the Rebel fleet's covert relocation to Hoth.
During this mission, both Imperial Corvette groups, specifically TIE Fire and Striker met their end. Accompanying them in destruction were three BFF-1 bulk freighters – _Kan, _Kant and Wunt – which were transporting the mines.
