Infiltration of unidentified Imperial planet

"Three lives for five…a rather poor trade, wouldn't you say?"

In 4 ABY during the Galactic Civil War, the Alliance to Restore the Republic attempted to infiltrate an Imperial planet. Posing as a legitimate cargo delivery, the Alliance Special Operations transport Pride of Aridus landed a twelve-men team of commandos, who, according to the insertion plan, were expected to return in exactly six hours. Their cover was nevertheless blown, and the group arrived two minutes late. The ship's commanding officer, Captain Nord was nearly ready to depart without them when the commandos finally sprinted toward the ship under heavy fire from Imperial forces.

The Pride of Aridus also came under fire, prompting Nord to order takeoff with the intention of leaving the SpecOps team behind. Unwilling to abandon his fellow Rebels, the ship's second officer, Second Lieutenant Alfonso Luiz Obota, punched Nord in the face and confined him to his cabin. Obota then took control of the ship and waited for the commandos; three managed to reach the ship and were successfully extracted as a result of Obota's actions. However, after the Pride of Aridus lifted off and reached the planet's atmosphere, several TIE Fighters attacked it. In the battle that followed, five crew members were killed, and the ship sustained serious damage, barely escaping by jumping to hyperspace.
