During the Galactic Civil War, Prince Xizor of Black Sun intended to discredit Darth Vader before Emperor Palpatine's eyes. For that end he used his underground connections to bribe bounty hunters and anyone else who could track down and kill Luke Skywalker.
Shortly before the Battle of Gall, a weary Cheran was offered 10,000 credits by an operative who wanted Luke Skywalker dead. She saw killing Skywalker as a means to get enough money to buy her own light freighter and become a Free-trader, working only for herself. Cheran decided to take the bribe. Guri paid her through a net of dummy corporations, which would be traced to Saber Enterprises.
At the Rogues' temporary base on Kile, she tampered with the R2 unit of Wes Janson's X-wing fighter so that it would take control and fire on Skywalker's. As the battle concluded, Janson's R2 took control of the X-wing and started to hunt and shoot Luke's. However Luke managed to get behind him and shoot a precise hit to his R2.
Investigating on the aftermath, Luke and Wedge found that Janson's droid had been programmed by their technician. When they went to interrogate her, she attempted to shoot Luke, before being shot by Wedge.
After that incident, they investigated her account and tracked down the bribe to Saber Enterprises. Xizor's plan was foiled, however as he intended, everyone believed that Vader was behind the attempt.
