Attack on disabled base

During the Invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY, a temporarily disabled Trade Federation base was attacked as part of the Naboo resistance effort. Members of the Royal Naboo Security Forces' Bravo Squadron, led by Captain Kael and his pilots, allied with a Hutt smuggling organization and planned an offensive against the Trade Federation. Their first victory was to destroy Comm 4, an orbital component of the Federation communications web providing a control signal to the base down on the planet.

With the control signal lost, the base went into hibernation and was vulnerable to attack. The pilots flew back down to the planet and attacked the base, which consisted of multiple platforms spread throughout the area. The pilots were ambushed when the base reactivated and had to destroy a wall of airborne mines to proceed further into the base. The group fought through the complex, facing the base's defenses, before blowing up the deflector shield generator protecting the command center, which allowed Lieutenant Gavyn Sykes to land and steal a gunboat to use as a decoy. His wingmen then left the site as Federation reinforcements arrived.
