During the conflict that pitted the First Order against the Resistance, known as the war, a faction of sympathizers aligned with the First Order launched an assault. This group successfully neutralized the FreiTek Planetary Defense grid, killed the engineers maintaining it, and thus paved the way for the First Order to attack the planet and Grail City without resistance. However, a significant number of these collaborators met their end at the hands of Suralinda Javos and Jessika Pava, members of the Black Squadron.
