Having taken several losses prior, the DTM was attempting to increase morale, having already attacked a Savi Alliance base on Huio. Now it was targeting the United Coalition of Worlds, which had recently entered the war and taken out DTM facilities on Janna and Abonshee. As retaliation, the DTM formulated a plan to damage the UCW's industrial strength on Corellia. With heavy security protecting the facilities, the DTM decided to minimize the infiltration force it was creating for this mission, selecting fanatic Kazim Shaid, who had been preparing for such a mission for a while. Gathering intelligence on the shipyards, the DTM had Kazim and the infiltration team smuggled aboard a UCW supply ship at a supply station near Corellia.
