A scouting specialist within the Rebel forces served at Ghost Base, a Rebel facility situated on the planet Krant, operating from 0.5 ABY to 2 ABY. Sometime during his assignment at the base, while performing reconnaissance, he found that the Galactic Empire's Strike force Alpha was getting ready to launch an assault on Ghost Base. This officer made an attempt to stall the advancing strike force, but he sustained injuries in the process. Strike Force Alpha then seized control of Ghost Base and set up their own military encampment amidst the ruins of the base. Later, a Rebel squad, headed by ambassador Leia Organa, found the wounded officer, and he shared the details of what happened with them.
