Following the events of the Second Battle of Obroa-skai, the severely impaired Far Thunder, a vessel belonging to the New Republic, was given permission to return, with only slight aid, to the assembly point located at Kashyyyk. During its journey, Yuuzhan Vong combat craft ambushed and assailed it. A diminutive squadron of New Republic starfighters successfully repelled the attackers, but the damage sustained necessitated the ship's destruction.
