Between Commander Gren Delede and Twila Virda, thier newly formed Vigilance Security Corporation sought to gain the New Republic's confidence and thus was born the idea of striking Imperial convoys and depots for supplies. It also served as a way for Gren Delede to begin his own 'payback' of the Empire. Somewhere around the same time, Admiral Ackbar and Supreme Commander Crix Madine were discussing re-instituting several of the Rebel Alliance-era tactical doctrines of warfare. These discussions ended with the NR's command staff setting a series of evaluation raids into effect to gauge Imperial response to Rebellion-era tactics, as well as allowing the Republic to bolster their stores of several varieties of supplies.
