Raid on an Imperial Intelligence base

Around 3642 BBY, during the early days of the Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, the Strategic Information Service, the Republic's intelligence agency, conducted a raid on a base of their rival organization, Imperial Intelligence on the moon Nar Shaddaa. The SIS agents were able to recover a significant number of classified data files from the base, and upon discovering that one of the files included information on a scientist who had worked on the space station of the Sith Emperor, the SIS forwarded the file to Jedi Master Tol Braga. Braga dispatched the Jedi Knight Leeha Narezz to the planet Hoth in order to recover the scientist's shuttle and the station's technical readouts as part of his plan to capture the Emperor.
