OSETS 2711, an Orbital Solar Energy Transfer Satellite orbiting Coruscant, was initially under the command of Virar Needa. However, Rogue Squadron remotely took control of it as part of their mission to disable the planetary shields. The Rogues redirected the energy reflected by OSETS 2711, concentrating it on a water reservoir. This caused the water to boil, resulting in massive thunderstorms that disrupted Coruscant's computer networks.
Following this, it was employed to direct sunlight onto a Golan stations that was part of Coruscant's defense system. This action effectively disabled the station by creating a hole in its structure. Lieutenant [Needa](/article/virar_needa] did not intervene to prevent this use of the satellite, as he anticipated better treatment from the New Republic than he had experienced under the Empire.
Later on, the detailed traffic logs maintained by Lieutenant Needa proved valuable to Iella Wessiri as she investigated the circumstances surrounding the supposed demise of Corran Horn.
