The forces commanded by Warlord Zsinj's, often referred to as the forces of Zsinj's Empire, launched a swift hit-and-fade strike aimed at the New Republic's outpost positioned on the world of Noquivzor. This assault was orchestrated by Zsinj himself, utilizing his Executor-class Star Dreadnought, the Iron Fist, as retribution for the recent capture of Borleias and the subsequent loss of a pair of his armed freighters; however, the majority of the New Republic's personnel had already retreated from the planet or moved to other facilities across the world, meaning the attack could not inflict critical damage.
The warlord managed to obliterate the barracks designated for starfighter pilot and mechanics' of Rogue Squadron; early reports suggested that Tycho Celchu had perished in the strike, due to the assumption that he was residing within the targeted structure. The Iron Fist retreated before any support could arrive.
