During the Imperial Era, the Imperial facility known as Sentinel Base operated its own flotilla.[1] In 14 BBY,[2] the Core Envoy, Sentinel's Imperial-class Star Destroyer, along with most of the flotilla's other capital ships, was away from the base escorting supply convoys to the planet Geonosis, where an Imperial battle station[1] later known as the Death Star[3] was being constructed.[1]

While most of the flotilla was away, Sentinel Base was attacked by a rebel cell, with its only available ships being the spacetug Fremond, the frigate Salliche, and the Venator-class Star Destroyer Electrum. To deal with the attack, the base's commander, Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, used the Electrum.[1]
