Following the Battle of Hoth one of the freighters, Onece 3, was recruited as a transport for Rebel Alliance escapees trying to sneak through Imperial lines. However, while passing through the Imperial checkpoint at Outpost D-34, a TIE/LN starfighter piloted by Maarek Stele scanned the vessels for illicit cargo and discovered the hidden Rebels. With the aid of Stele in lowering the freighter's shields, Delta-class DX-9 stormtrooper transport Sigma disabled the offending craft with ion cannons, then boarded and captured the fugitives despite the arrival of several Alliance Lambda-class shuttles to defend the ship.
