During the Galactic Civil War, specifically in the year 5 ABY, General Hera Syndulla, commanding the New Republic forces on the Star Destroyer named Deliverance, pressed on with their hunt to locate the elusive 204th Imperial Fighter Wing. The communication signal that her forces were tracking had abruptly stopped, compelling the Deliverance to restart a methodical search of each system. Within a few hours, Syndulla's troops successfully located both the fighter wing and the bulk freighter known as the Yadeez. The Deliverance exited hyperspace at full speed, its tractor beam immediately activated and managed to secure a lock on the Yadeez from a considerable distance. Starfighter squadrons were launched and stayed nearby, providing protection for the tractor beam projector, shielded by the Star Destroyer's defensive turrets. Despite the defenses, a pair of TIEs penetrated the perimeter, but their cannon fire proved ineffective. However, one TIE executed a kamikaze attack, crashing directly into the beam projector, destroying it and resulting in the deaths of three crew members on the Deliverance. Consequently, the 204th successfully fled, initiating a jump to lightspeed.
