Vinzen Neela 5

Vinzen Neela 5 was an astronomical object located within the Vinzen Neela system of the Outer Rim Territories' Parmic sector. In 3 ABY, following the Battle of Hoth, the cargo ferry group Sela was set to rendezvous with the Ton-Falk-class escort carrier Hininbirg near Vinzen Neela 5 to transfer the Galactic Empire's TIE/D Defender prototypes that the former was carrying. Rebel Alliance forces arrived in the area before the Imperial starships could in an attempt to ambush them and disrupt the transfer. In response, Imperial starfighters were dispatched to protect the transfer operation.

In the ensuing battle, both Sela and the Hininbirg arrived in the area and the prototypes made their way to the latter, while all Rebel ships and mines were destroyed by Imperial starfighters. By the end of the battle, all Imperial ships had exited the area via hyperspace, with the Hininbirg taking the prototypes to the planet Coruscant.
