- "Now they're making precision strikes. We lost all hands aboard the Huntsman and the Kalpana. I'm sure the 204th was involved in the raid on Beauchen."
- ―Caern Adan, to IT-O
The raid on Beauchen took place in 4 ABY[1] on the terrestrial astronomical object Beauchen.[2] The Galactic Empire's 204th Imperial Fighter Wing took part in the raid, bringing about many deaths.[3] The New Republic Intelligence operative Caern Adan came to suspect the fighter wing's involvement in the attack and told his theory in a conversation with the reprogrammed IT-O Interrogation Unit IT-O[2] that year.[4] When Adan and Lieutenant Yrica Quell later reviewed a massacre at Anx Minor aboard the Acclamator-class transgalactic military assault ship Lodestar[3] in 5 ABY,[5] Quell considered the event as thorough and in line as the 204th's actions at Beauchen.[3]
