Fara's Belt, in the Outer Rim Territories's Rolion sector, was the site of a communication station used by the Galactic Empire. In 0 ABY, it was the target of a raid by the Rebel Alliance. Unbeknownst to the Rebels, Imperial Intelligence had broken their codes and intercepted their plans. When the Empire incercepted a transmission which repeated their planted information claiming the Rebel target was suffering from a "gravitational fluctuation malfunction", the Empire knew where the Rebels would strike. In the resulting ambush, the Rebel defeat was total.
