A mining station, positioned on an asteroid, was subsequently occupied by pirates throughout the Galactic Civil War. These pirates constructed a base there, incorporating a hangar and a landing field. In approximately 3 ABY, the Rebel Alliance's Seventh Division converged near this location at a pre-arranged rendezvous point. Upon discovering the pirates' presence and understanding the potential danger to the rendezvous, the Alliance dispatched Red Squadron with the mission of eliminating the pirate base.
