Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.
While carrying communications satellites stolen from the Imperial base on Orron III, the BFF-1 bulk freighter Phoenix was ambushed by Imperial forces attempting to recapture the stolen satellites. Before the Empire could capture the freighter, a Rebel strike team arrived. Rebel pilot Keyan Farlander, in a BTL Y-wing starfighter, engaged Imperial forces while the Lambda-class T-4a shuttle Wilsey boarded and captured the Phoenix.
