Task Force Aleph, a component of the New Republic Fifth Fleet, endeavored to execute a hyperspace jump from Bothawui to Fondor. Their mission was to bolster the First Fleet during the Battle of Fondor. However, dovin basal mines disrupted their transit, tearing half of the task force from hyperspace, and causing six vessels to be ensnared within mass shadows. Consequently, the fleet was compelled to withdraw before it could arrive at Fondor, which ultimately succumbed to enemy forces.
