During the time of the Galactic Civil War, the Alliance to Restore the Republic operated a minor base on the second moon orbiting the planet known as Tiragga. The leader of this base was Commander Astred, and the base consisted of approximately 140 individuals. At some point during the conflict, the personnel stationed at the base became infected with the Direllian Plague, which originated from bacteria present in the food supplies and subsequently spread through the air. The base was placed under quarantine, and a constant message was transmitted, instructing incoming supply freighters to proceed to the nearby planet Kirtania in order to obtain Shiarha Root and enlist the aid of Doctor T'Jaleq Kith'Araquia to fight the spread of the plague.
A team of Rebel operatives managed to obtain a remedy for the plague, thus rescuing the base's inhabitants.
