This mission took place in late 7 ABY on the planet of Tenupe in the Utegetu Nebula. Under orders from Grand Admiral Thrawn, an Imperial Intelligence unit was dispatched to the world to sabotage Killik and New Republic infrastructure to weaken the garrison. The saboteurs took off in three Fierce-class special tarnsports, carrying 250 Imperial storm commandos and three TIE/D Defender starfighters. The ships were identical in appearance to the common shieldships or freighters, but had more powerful shields and armor, as well as ten quad laser cannons and two quad turbolaser batteries per ship.
