Attack on an unidentified pirate base

During the Galactic Civil War, not long after the Battle of Yavin, a robotic CR90 corvette belonging to pirates—who were funded by the Crymorah Syndicate—attacked an Imperial shuttle carrying Imperial weapons. The Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader, stopped the corvette. Soon after, Grand General Cassio Tagge sent Vader aboard the captured pirate ship to attack the pirate's base, and to learn the larger organization behind the constant raids—after assigning Lieutenant Oon-ai to serve as a Tagge's spy to Vader. Once at the base, Vader, Oon-ai, and six stormtroopers quickly killed all the resistance, including a pair of customized droidekas, while a black astromech droid planted false evidence in the station's computer incriminating Oon-ai as a traitor. Vader, with Oon-ai in tow, went farther into the station to retrieve the evidence as the station self-destructed around them. After obtaining the information, they boarded the corvette as the station exploded entirely. The strike team returned to the Annihilator where Vader claimed Oon-ai was a traitor and that the Crymorah Syndicate had been backing the pirates. Later, Vader located Aphra, the archaeologist who had provided the pirates with the droidekas, and enlisted her services for a secret mission.
