The Nema functioned as a transport for the Rebel Alliance. To protect it as it moved medical cargo through the perilous Kiax Nebula during the tense times of the Galactic Civil War, Red Squadron was assigned as an escort. Unfortunately, pirates loyal to the Tech Masters seized the transport and diverted it to the planet Trionak. However, Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, both members of the Rebel Alliance, successfully executed a recovery operation on Trionak, reclaiming the Nema and returning it to the Rebel flagship, the Home One.
