Operation Earplug was the codename used for the Rebel military operation designed to end the potential threat of the teezl, an organic hyperspace communications amplifier that had been discovered by the Galactic Empire in 3 ABY. With both sides certain that the teezl's installation in the Imperial war machine would be a decisive blow in the Galactic Civil War, the Empire entrusted Admiral Mils Giel to command a secret armada to shepherd the creature to Coruscant. However, Rebel Commander Luke Skywalker's Flying Bantha Squadron, flying disguised and refitted Imperial TIE fighters, infiltrated the armada and destroyed the teezl, along with much of Giel's flagship.
