In the year 0.5 ABY according to the galactic standard calendar, a brief conflict transpired within the confines of the Purnham system. This engagement involved a band of pirates, operating from an asteroid cluster also located in the Purnham system, and the combined forces of the Millennium Falcon and the Melnor Spear. These two ships had temporarily joined forces in a tactical alliance. As the fight unfolded, one pirate ship met its end, and a mere pair of crew members from the remaining pirate ship lived long enough to face questioning by the Hand of Judgment.
