In the year 5 ABY, a local defense force gave aid to the New Republic as they fought against the Galactic Empire's stranglehold on the Nythlide Array. Following the successful breach of Imperial blockades at the Nythlide Array by a New Republic battle group commanded by General Hera Syndulla, two carriers were briefly positioned under the command of Major Jaun to provide assistance to the local defense force.
The Nythlide local defense force initially appeared in Victory's Price: An Alphabet Squadron Novel. This novel, released in 2021, represents the concluding installment of the Star Wars: Alphabet Squadron trilogy authored by Alexander Freed.
