During the era of the Galactic Civil War, the Alliance to Restore the Republic orchestrated a calculated ambush within the Laramus system, targeting an Imperial convoy. Acting upon intelligence gathered by spies, the Alliance cruiser, known as the Visseon II, materialized from hyperspace in the Laramus system, initiating an assault on the heavily armed Imperial convoy. The Imperial convoy, reacting swiftly, accelerated to evade Laramus' gravity well, executing a split formation to compel the Visseon II to prioritize a target. After the cruiser committed to the pursuit, the Imperial forces split again, once more forcing the Visseon II to select a target to chase. With the cruiser's commitment secured, the remaining Imperial transports converged to facilitate their escape, while the Imperial escort vessels advanced upon the Visseon II, confident in their ability to overcome the Rebel ship.
As the escort ships were busy engaging the Visseon II, a flight of T-6 X-wing starfighters, along with a number of shuttles, suddenly appeared out of hyperspace directly in the path of the Imperial transports. The X-wings swiftly destroyed one transport and issued orders to the remaining ships to halt their engines and prepare for boarding. Subsequently, the shuttles deployed commandoes onto the transports, resulting in their capture and the seizure of their cargo.
The escort vessels, while exchanging fire with the Visseon II, eventually became aware of the unfolding situation with the convoy and ceased their attack on the cruiser to intervene. The X-wings successfully delayed the Imperial escorts, providing sufficient time for the transports to jump to lightspeed. With the transports no longer under threat, the Imperial escorts disengaged and retreated. The Alliance successfully seized fourteen transports without sustaining any losses.
