Mission to Bestine IV
Canon Linked from 21 articles
Between 3 ABY and 4 ABY, the Mission to Bestine IV, also known as the Battle on Bestine, was simultaneously undertaken by the crew of the bounty hunter T'onga on behalf of Crimson Dawn, and a team led by cyborg Imperial lieutenant, and former bounty hunter, Beilert Valance. The purpose of Valance's mission was to stop a Crimson Dawn team, who unbeknownst to Valance was led by his old friend T'onga, from attacking what he had been informed was a shipment of medicine the Empire had sent to Bestine IV, though in reality was a shipment of munitions intended to be used against the insurgents that fought against the Empire on the planet. The ultimate outcome of T'onga's mission was for them to upend the fragile balance held between the Empire and a local populace, which, according to Crimson Dawn member Margo, did not want the Empire on the planet.
