Following the events of the battle at Fostar Haven by a period of four years, General Hera Syndulla gave the order for the New Republic's Hail Squadron to be dispatched, along with Meteor Squadron which had been previously affected in the Cerberon system. This mission was to ensure the safety and control of the Nadiri Dockyards after the Imperial forces, under the command of Captain Terisa Kerrill, launched an attack there.
