During the era of the Galactic Civil War, a conflict unfolded within the Bissillirus system. At the Bissillirus Resupply Base, a fleet belonging to the Imperial forces had gathered, with the purpose of providing provisions for an Imperial operation on the planet of Lexrul. The Alliance to Restore the Republic launched an attack with their own fleet against the Imperial naval presence, and simultaneously dispatched a ground team to seize food stores from the agricultural loading platform XT-21s.
