A regrettable friendly-fire event transpired within the Nuvar system subsequent to the Battle of Var-Shaa in 4 ABY, amidst the backdrop of the Galactic Civil War. In this unfortunate circumstance, the Galactic Empire's Exigent – a Quasar Fire-class cruiser-carrier – met its destruction due to missiles inadvertently launched from a nearby Imperial defense station. The root cause was the station's recent capture from the New Republic; its targeting systems had not been properly reset, causing it to maintain programming that identified and engaged Imperial vessels.
