During the period of conflict known as the Galactic War -- a war fought between the Galactic Republic and its opposition, the Sith Empire -- Havoc Squad, a unit belonging to the Republic Special Forces, received orders to go to the Imperial POW installation called A-77. Their mission was to extract Sergeant Ava Jaxo, along with the rest of the incarcerated individuals. Unbeknownst to them, their adversary, General Arkos Rakton, had orchestrated a ruse; Havoc Squad managed a narrow escape with the prisoners just prior to the station's complete annihilation.
