During the time of the Galactic Civil War, the shadowport called Abek's Station met its end when it was obliterated by the Strike-class medium cruiser named Ion Storm. The ship was under the authority of Commander Surlev from the Galactic Empire. Surlev's mission was to find the mercenary Limna Yith, who had been causing a path of blood and widespread damage along the Sisar Run. After locating her at the space station, he was granted permission by Governor Skreeg to eliminate it, which he promptly did, though Yith managed to get away.
