Hensara III, a planet situated within the Colonies, served as the watery grave for the New Republic's hijacked Imperial Customs Frigate known as the Battle of Yavin. It was submerged in a profound lake on Hensara III as a means of concealing it from an approaching Imperial patrol. Subsequently, the Eridain and the famed Rogue Squadron successfully rescued the vessel's personnel and triumphed over the Empire during the conflict known as the Rout of Hensara.
