Ongary IX was a Mid Rim astronomical object located in the Ividal sector. It featured hfredium mines that were converted into Vulture droid starfighter bases when the Confederacy of Independent Systems captured the celestial body during the Clone Wars.
When the Galactic Republic planned to eliminate the Confederacy bases on Ongary IX, the Z-95 Headhunters of the Ividal Sector Forces' Foxfire Squadron were equipped with burrowing plasma charges for bombing runs. The brightness of the warheads' detonation caused problems for the starfighter pilots, however, leading to Republic technicians outfitting the squadron's helmets with opaque blast shields. The subsequent bombing run succeeded in destroying one of the Confederacy bases on Ongary IX, and the Headhunter starfighters were transported back to the Ividal Sector Forces' base the following day.
