An Imperial garrison was stationed on the planet Mataou, which was once a Hutt jewel world situated in the Anoat sector. Following the Empire's defeat at Endor, Governor Ubrik Adelhard reacted by commanding a blockade of the entire sector, prompting the Empire to dispatch reinforcements to the Mataou garrison, effectively increasing its size threefold.
The Smuggler and their team received the assignment to eliminate these additional soldiers, acting on behalf of the Trade Spine League.
