Bundim, a world situated within the confines of Trax sector, served as the location where the Rebel Alliance suffered defeat in the Battle of Heg. It was on this planet that Commander Resner suspected the Alliance forces had established their headquarters, initiating the rebellion in Trax Sector shortly following the Battle of Yavin. The planet's governing body covertly attempted to oust the Imperial forces stationed there, however, an informant within the government alerted the Empire to Bundim's intentions.
The Empire responded with speed, aiming to make Bundim an example to the remainder of the sector. Through aerial attacks, numerous merchant ships were obliterated and numerous urban centers were reduced to rubble. In under seven days, Bundim was occupied and brought under control. The Alliance put forth a great effort to aid the local population in freeing themselves, but their progress was almost undone following the Battle of Heg. Kentara, one of the initial Alliance operatives to be captured, subsequently came back and was instrumental in finishing the liberation.
