The planet of Sullust became the location where General Lando Calrissian and Shriv Suurgav carried out the obliteration of an abandoned weapons depot in 5 ABY.
The Galactic Empire's needs had surpassed what the depot could provide by 5 ABY. Consequently, Admiral Garrick Versio gave the order for the depot to immediately double its output of weapons and vehicles, given its importance in supplying the Empire's efforts within the Western Reaches. Upon learning this, the New Republic initially plotted to seize the depot, dispatching General Lando Calrissian alongside Shriv Suurgav from Inferno Squad.
The mission's initial objective was to secure the weapons located in the depot for the benefit of the New Republic, preventing their use by the Galactic Empire. However, the Republic found out that the Empire had covertly reactivated the weapons factory. As a result, Calrissian and Suurgav determined that destroying the depot would be a more effective strategy to hinder the Empire's capacity to manufacture additional weaponry.
