A team of First Order Raiders, specifically the elite stormtroopers serving the First Order, were tasked by Supreme Leader Kylo Ren to locate Sith artifacts. This squad crossed paths with Mika Grey, a Force-sensitive archaeologist, on Vargos 9, a celestial body, circa 34 ABY. Despite being pursued, Grey managed to evade capture. Her journey led her to Ashas Ree, a planet where she sought a Sith relic, a prize she had pursued for two years, hoping to keep it out of Ren's grasp. The squad followed Grey to Ashas Ree and apprehended a cell of the Resistance, a group engaged in a war with the First Order. This cell had assisted Grey in her escape from a Sith temple on Ashas Ree, where she had been confined for several days. In an act of sacrifice, Grey activated and obliterated the Sith relic, resulting in the death of the elite stormtroopers, thus freeing the captured Resistance members.
