A conflict took place on Biitu, pitting the troops of the Galactic Empire against the allies of Mungo Baobab, who was a merchant. Baobab was taken prisoner during the Empire's occupation of Biitu, their goal being the establishment of a fuel-ore processing plant. However, the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, along with the Biituian Fidge Tadrazan, liberated him, and subsequently triumphed over the Imperial forces.
