The Cimigo, a YT-1300 light freighter, was the property of and utilized by the Rebel Alliance.
The Cimigo found itself stationed at the DS 5 Rebel Outpost, located in the Outer Rim, in 3 ABY. During the defection of Imperial Admiral Harkov to the Rebel Alliance, the Cimigo was present on the platform. Harkov's flagship, the Victory-class Star Destroyer named Protector, met with Harkov's Rebel contacts at the platform.
As Tan Maarek Stele's initial Imperial reconnaissance mission traced Harkov's location to the station, the Cimigo quickly left the platform and escaped the area at its maximum velocity. Recognizing that intercepting the transport was impossible due to its distance, the Imperial squadron opted to disregard it and instead prioritized disrupting Harkov's supply routes. Consequently, the Cimigo successfully escaped into hyperspace.
