A desert planet existed in the galaxy, characterized by its extreme sandstorms. During the Imperial Era, a spy of the Rebel Alliance escaped into the planet's atmosphere when evading TIE fighters sent by Commander Tylux of the Galactic Empire. Despite the danger of the sandstorms, Tylux sent his entire fighter wing down to the planet, where their sensors and engines malfunctioned due to the storm. The spy left the planet's atmosphere, destroying the surviving fighters.
