In the year 4 ABY, a member of the Rebel Alliance tried to assist Doc Shemza, a scientist, located on Bespin's Cloud City. After being kidnapped by criminals, Shemza was ultimately saved by a group of ex-students from Naboo's Royal House of Learning who were on vacation. Shemza, along with the Rebel agent's droid, Shorty, and the students who were vacationing, guided them toward Landing Platform 21. During their journey, the Galactic Empire made an attempt to take control of the planet. Shemza's contact then flew the whole group to a secure location.
