A transport was used by the Galactic Empire on the planet Bestine IV during the Imperial Era.[1] Between 3 ABY and 4 ABY,[2] the transport was used to deliver munitions to an Imperial naval base on Jahnae so they could be used against insurgents who fought against the Empire on Bestine.[1] The Empire learned that the criminal syndicate Crimson Dawn intended to intercept and attack the shipment and sent a team led by Beilert Valance to protect the shipment, which he had been was medicine, and eliminate the Crimson Dawn threat. At the same time, the crew of the bounty hunter T'onga, former friends of Valance's, were hired by Crimson Dawn to stop the shipment.[3]
When the crew arrived at Bestine, they met with the insurgents and got aboard the transport as it reached land. T'onga and the insurgents headed to the bridge, whilst Tasu Leech and Bossk went to the engines, and Losha Tarkon and Zuckuss went to place explosives on the transport. Bossk and Leech encountered Tanka, a member of Valance's team, and Bossk was able to deal with his fellow Trandoshan. Zuckuss and Tarkon placed several explosives on the transport, but were caught by S'ira and Ankala Sahm, the two other members of Valance's team. T'onga and the insurgents got caught in a firefight with coastal defender stormtroopers, with one of the insurgents being killed. The lead insurgent and T'onga were forced to leave another insurgent behind as they made their way insider and towards bridge, where the lead insurgent was killed by Valance.[1]
