In the year 4 ABY, Squadron Five, part of the Galactic Empire's 204th Imperial Fighter Wing, launched an assault on a GR-75 medium transport. This transport functioned as a mobile recruitment base for the Rebel Alliance. Launched from a Quasar Fire-class cruiser-carrier alongside TIE/sa bombers, Squadron Five quickly rendered the recruitment base's hyperdrive inoperable. Subsequently, they engaged an escort of T-65B X-wing starfighters that were attempting to intercept the bombers. Despite the loss of at least a pair of TIE bombers, the squadron successfully eliminated the X-wing starfighters before joining the bombers in the destruction of the rebel recruitment base.
