Andara, situated within the Core Worlds of the galaxy, was a celestial body. The New Republic seized control of Andara from the Galactic Empire circa 5 ABY. News of this capture reached the 204th Imperial Fighter Wing of the Empire, causing discontent among the fighter wing's members, with some desiring retribution. As a response to Andara's loss, the 204th launched an assault and obliterated a New Republic base on Mon Gazza, a planet located in the Mid Rim, on the following day.
