This endeavor was undertaken by the distinguished New Republic commando squad known as Lando's Commandos not long after the Battle of Endor, with the goal of stopping actions by a pirate group that consisted of former TIE/IN interceptor aviators. The commandos journeyed to the planet of Radix, located within the Abraxas system, where they were met with an ambush by piratical forces. During this assault, commando Tiatkin lost his life.
Lando Calrissian and his commandos are ambushed by pirate forces.
After the commandos found themselves surrounded, Lieutenant Harme Kiela, the pirate leader, revealed that the entire operation's purpose was to rescue Von Asch, an Imperial starfighter strategist who had been collaborating with Lando's Commandos, and to install him as their leader. Asch declined, arguing that the pirates no longer possessed any semblance of honor, which led to another attack by the pirates. Kine, a local pilot who had betrayed the commandos, brandished a lightsaber and made an attempt on the life of one of the commandos, Isolde Siro. However, Von Asch intervened, shielding her from the blow and sustaining the attack himself, thus saving her. Kine was killed, and Asch later made a recovery. Once reinforcements from the New Republic arrived, the commandos secured victory, and Kiela was taken into custody, although he later managed to escape.
Jason Fry verified on the Jedi Council Forums that the Eiattu pirates, as mentioned in The Essential Guide to Warfare, are in fact the same pirates featured in Lando's Commandos: On Eagles' Wings, and the operation on Abraxas is a continuation of Lando Calrissian's mission to Radix.
