In the year 0 ABY, the Alliance to Restore the Republic's High Command assigned Reekeene's Roughnecks, a team under their command, the mission of dispatching diplomats to the world of Abonshee. The purpose of this mission was to establish contact with the indigenous Anointed People on behalf of the Alliance, with the aim of securing additional food supplies. Green squad was selected by the Roughnecks for the task, and they were transported aboard the vessel known as the Long Shot.
The negotiations reached an abrupt end when the Imperial shuttle named _Resurgence_, bearing signs of damage, made a landing on the planet's surface. As stormtroopers launched an attack against the local population, Trisstan, the Godking who ruled the Anointed People, decided to align his people with the Alliance.
