During the time of the Republic Era, a specialized unit known as Alpha Team operated under the guidance of the skilled Commander Halka Four-Den. On one occasion, Alpha Team received orders to travel to the planet Dagobah. Their mission involved creating maps of the expanding territories controlled by the Galactic Republic and gathering information concerning the plant and animal life on Dagobah. After a period of three months, the environmental challenges of Dagobah, including rampant illnesses, perilous animals, and rapidly spreading plants, became too much for Four-Den and her Alpha Team. Ultimately, the team vanished without a trace.
