Gerrenthum, a planet found in the Anoat sector of the Outer Rim Territories within the galaxy, had an orbital security station in orbit around it.
Leeka Pali requested a small group to board the station and deactivate the planet's orbital alarm beacons during the Iron Blockade. This blockade was put in place by the Galactic Empire to stop word of their devastating loss to the Alliance to Restore the Republic at the Battle of Endor from spreading to the people of the Anoat sector. The goal was to allow the Trade Spine League to move their larger ships from the system, and the Smuggler dispatched three of his crew to accomplish this task.
