A band of rebels, supported by the criminal organization known as the Crimson Dawn, engaged in combat with the forces of the Galactic Empire on the Inner Rim world of Bestine IV. It is said that, throughout this rebellion, the rebels took refuge in a settlement situated on Jahnae. Sometime between 3 ABY and 4 ABY, an Imperial vessel carrying military supplies was en route to an Imperial naval base on Jahnae, intended to suppress the uprising permanently. Crimson Dawn then contracted T'onga's team, a group of mercenaries led by her, to seize the cargo. Upon landing on Bestine, the team encountered a rebel soldier, who expressed disappointment at the limited assistance provided by Crimson Dawn.
