The following section contains information from a Star Wars Tales 1–20 story that was referenced in no other Star Wars Legends source. Lucasfilm considered all Tales 1–20 content that was not "completely outrageous or intentionally comic" to have some level of canonicity within the Legends continuity. Editor discretion is advised.

The system contained the dying, dark, and foggy planet Vatleria, which was located near safer colony worlds. Vatleria was long abandoned by its inhabitants before the Galactic Civil War between the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire.^[4] By 0 BBY,^[5] due to Vatleria's proximity to thriving colonies, the Empire began to establish a base within the stone ruins of Vatleria, intelligence of which was passed from an informant to the Alliance team known as the Rebel Four. The team—led by F4-MF and including operatives Soo Rcharrz, Falaem Onn, and Grimgrim—travelled to the ruins, where they confirmed the presence of Imperial stormtroopers and attacked. The Rebels were defeated by lethal traps activated by the Sith Lord Darth Vader.^[4]
