Industrious Thoughts was the lead ship in the Diamal-led pro-Bothan fleet at the Second Battle of Bothawui. During the first phase of the battle, it was the command starship for Senator Porolo Miatamia. Lando Calrissian was also on board, as a New Republic representative trying to defuse the crisis. When the Ishori flagship Predominance fired on the Bothan capital city of Drev'starn, Miatamia's fleet entered the battle. At the time, they were unaware that Imperial Intelligence saboteurs had taken control of weapons emplacements on the Predominance and attacked the city.
