Xi group

Xi group was a designator used for groups of Class-A and Class-B cargo containers by the Galactic Empire, and Class-E and Class-I cargo containers by the Alliance to Restore the Republic.

The cargo containers of Xi group was part of an Imperial depot investigated by Rebel A-wing pilot Keyan Farlander during a Rebel operation to secure a grain supply after the evacuation of Yavin, who found that group Xi did not contain grain.

Later, container group Xi formed part of a secret Imperial weapons research base developing shielding technology. Xi group was destroyed by Farlander, flying an A/SF-01 B-wing starfighter, and a Y-wing pilot.

Hidden in an asteroid field, Xi group, composed of Class-A cargo containers Xi 1 and 2, were inspected by Farlander and had their contents ferried to the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser Stimsenj'kat by transport group Renhoek during an Imperial attack.

During the Galactic Empire's hunt for defector to the Rebel Alliance Admiral Harkov after the Battle of Hoth, Class-E cargo container group Xi stored water at a Rebel supply station raided by the Imperial Mu Squadron of Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing pilots, Maarek Stele among them. In the crossfire between Imperial and Rebel forces, the cargo containers, including Xi 3, were destroyed.

Three Class-B cargo containers of Xi group, carrying two TIE/D Defender prototypes each, were brought to Galactic Emperor Palpatine for inspection by cargo ferry group Sela.

In a battle later simulated for the training of Imperial Missile Boat pilots, Xi group Class-I cargo containers around Rebel Deep Space Manufacturing Facility Organarms were destroyed by Missile Boat Mu 1.
