After the discovery of the Death Star project and, in order to learn more about it, Alliance Special Forces managed to sabotage and disable a Delta-class DX-9 stormtrooper transport that was carrying Imperial officers assigned to the Death Star as it traveled through the Corellian system. The Alliance sent the Hunter, along with the EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate Inad, to capture the disabled transport. The operation was protected by three X-wings from Blue Squadron and three Y-wings from Red Squadron, flown by Keyan Farlander, Namrhe and Omin-Oreh.
