In the year 2 BBY, the crew known as the Spectres undertook a crucial assignment: to liberate the argora from the clutches of the Galactic Empire and ensure the sacred avian's safe return to the Xendekians. This particular bird was en route to Emperor Palpatine's private menagerie. The rebel group managed to sneak aboard a transport vessel, successfully liberating the creature. Subsequently, the Weequay buccaneer named Hondo Ohnaka attempted to abscond with the argora for his own purposes, but his efforts were thwarted. Furthermore, Hondo released all the other endangered species aboard the vessel, which prompted the Spectres to assist in their liberation as well.
