EVS-469, a droid designed for construction by EVS Construction Droids, was commandeered by individuals from Rogue Squadron acting under the command of Wedge Antilles. This hijacking was part of the Rogues' mission to disable the planetary shield system protecting Coruscant, facilitating the forthcoming attack on the Imperial capital in 7 ABY. The droid served as transportation for the Rebels to a secondary computer facility, where they gained control of a solar energy transfer satellite orbiting Coruscant. This action represented the pivotal initial stage of the Rogues' ultimately successful strategy to dismantle the shields.
