The operation focusing on the planet Glova took place as the New Republic attempted to apprehend Tegist Byrg, the governor.
Following the Battle of Endor, Trask Lucan, a New Republic agent, landed on the neutral world of Glova. There, the planetary governor, Tegist Byrg, secretly an ally of the Galactic Empire, betrayed him and seized his vessel, the Lucan's Nightmare. Marooned, Lucan maintained his New Republic ties covertly, often frequenting local cantinas and pretending to be a simple tramp freighter pilot. He encountered a band of smugglers at Borke's Cantina who were seeking a way to recover their impounded ship.
Subsequently, Lucan and the smugglers aided New Republic troopers, led by New Republic ambassador Robet Makina, in an assault on Byrg's headquarters. The goal was to capture the governor, expose his Imperial allegiance, and retrieve their respective spacecraft.
