The Shadow, a Muurian transport, played a role for pro-Imperial units. Its mission involved setting up and turning on the hyperdrive on the CR90 corvette known as Vorknkx, and also pulling out the research people from stations V1 and V2. These research outposts faced a major attack from the disloyal troops of Grand Admiral Demetrius Zaarin, who wanted to seize the innovative tech. Nevertheless, Tan Maarek Stele successfully fought off the assault.
