Gafra, a BFF-1 bulk freighter, served the Galactic Empire during the era of the Galactic Civil War. As part of Operation Strike Fear, the Gafra's mission involved picking up an experimental warhead from Celanon and transporting it to a designated transfer point in deep space.
The plan devised by Crix Madine, along with the Sullustan technicians who had recently joined the Alliance, hinged on acquiring this warhead to eliminate the Invincible and bring Operation Strike Fear to an end. Considering Celanon's strong defenses, the Rebels opted to attack the Gafra at the deep space transfer location. Keyan Farlander attacks the Gafra.
Following an initial assault by Rebel forces, the Gafra was left damaged and unable to move. However, a surrounding field of mines still protected it. Keyan Farlander, piloting a Y-wing, cleared the mines and further disabled the freighter. Subsequently, the Lambda-class T-4a shuttle named Herald arrived to board the freighter, with the intention of guiding it to the Alliance's headquarters.
Despite the shuttle's work and the freighter's readiness for hyperspace travel, Imperial stormtrooper transports appeared and tried to destroy the Gafra, but Farlander successfully repelled them.
Ultimately, with the assistance of abducted staff from Cygnus Corp, the warhead was transported to the Invincible aboard a shuttle disguised as an Imperial vessel, leading to the Star Destroyer's destruction from within.
