The Timespan, a vessel categorized as a transport ship, facilitated the journey of Trux Zissu, Stuart Zissu, R2-D2, C-3PO, and 4B-X from Yavin 4 to [Delantine], where Trux Zissu was slated to become the governor. Despite its age, the Timespan represented the sole available ship that the Rebel Alliance could allocate for this particular assignment.
Prior to their arrival at Delantine, the Galactic Empire launched an assault on the ship, resulting in stormtroopers boarding the Timespan. During this encounter, Stuart, accompanied by the droids, successfully fled using escape pod 4, while Trux confronted and resisted the stormtroopers, ultimately leading to his capture.
