Following the tragic event, a group of Alderaanian people who survived, utilizing three GR-75 medium freighters, made their way toward Fostar Haven. Their objective was to get away from the Galactic Empire, who were following orders from Darth Vader to completely eradicate any traces of Alderaan.
The group was located, and Commodore Rae Sloane dispatched Captain Lindon Javes of Helix Squadron with a blockade to Fostar Haven with the intention of killing the refugees. However, upon discovering the details of the tragic event, Javes declined the order to murder innocent people and decided to assist them in fleeing. During this operation, Captain Canonhaus received instructions to secure the outer boundary to stop the refugees from getting away.
Javes, along with Echo Squadron from the Alliance to Restore the Republic, facilitated the group's escape.
