The undertaking to seize Jedi Knight Borik Yelgo at the Coth Fuuras space station represented an Imperial endeavor, occurring a mere four weeks following the establishment of the Galactic Empire. This task fell to Squad 40 of the 501st Legion's Imperial Commando Special Unit, comprised of Niner and Darman Skirata, clone commandos hailing from Omega Squad, alongside Rede, a new member of the team.
Yelgo's location at the Coth Fuuras space station was discovered by Squad 40, who then attempted to isolate him from the non-combatants. Detecting that he was being maneuvered, Yelgo sought to blend into the throng, yet inadvertently exposed himself when he sensed Darman's fury via the Force. Finding himself cornered, Yelgo attempted to collapse a substantial transparisteel barrier upon the commandos utilizing the Force. Rede diverted his attention by shattering the transparisteel panel positioned overhead. Consequently, Rede shot Yelgo in the head two times.
