Uhuru, an Imperial BFF-1 bulk freighter designed for cargo transport, participated in a massive convoy. This convoy assembled close to Orron III as it made its journey toward the Death Star I, which was nearing completion. The Uhuru's convoy was scheduled to meet with the Toral freighter, which was attacked by Rebel forces during its journey. After obtaining the rendezvous point from the Toral, the Rebels sent Y-wings originating from Red and Gold squadrons, along with a X-wing flown by Blue Squadron, with the mission to destroy the convoy.
Although the escorting Assault Gunboats put up a strong fight, the Uhuru, along with the remainder of the convoy, was obliterated by pilot Keyan Farlander and the Rebel starfighters.
