Circa 0 ABY, the High Command of the Alliance to Restore the Republic asked one of its sub-groups, Reekeene's Roughnecks, to send diplomats to the planet Abonshee. Their goal would be to contact with the locals, the Anointed People, in the name of the Alliance, and obtain new sources of food. The Roughnecks sent the Green squad, ferried in the Long Shot. The mission was a success.
