The Toprawa Relay Station was an Imperial-run communications center located on the restricted planet of Toprawa. It was here that a contingent of Rebels transmitted the technical plans for the first Death Star to Princess Leia aboard the Corellian corvette Tantive IV. These Rebels, consisting of Red Hand Squadron under the leadership of Bria Tharen, held out at the station against Imperial counterattacks until finally being overrun; in the process, the relay station was almost completely destroyed. Those who were not killed in the fighting committed suicide so as not to betray their true mission.
