Waypoint Station Cresh was a military installation of the Republic Military situated on the planet of Taris throughout the Cold War, coinciding with the period of the Taris Resettlement Initiative. A squad composed of Republic troopers, including Geozel, Gilroh, and Ferdoin, received orders to accompany a supply convoy traveling from Waypoint Station Cresh en route to Waypoint Station Morne; however, the convoy malfunctioned, resulting in the soldiers opting to abandon their posts, which then compelled Kahrin Wek, the quartermaster from Morne, to dispatch units for reconnaissance.
