After the loss of their command ship Phoenix Home in an Imperial attack, the rebel group Phoenix Cell had begun a search for a location in which to set up a proper base. During the search, the Spectres, members of the cell, had stolen a Quasar Fire-class cruiser-carrier from the Empire at Ryloth to serve as a new command ship, with the rebels naming it Phoenix Nest.
Eventually, by combining all of their data, including maps acquired from Lasat refugees Chava and Gron, and information supplied by bounty hunter Ketsu Onyo, an old friend of Spectre Sabine Wren, Phoenix Cell decided on the habitable moon of the planet Berzite in the Yost system. However, the Phoenix Nest was low on fuel, so the Spectres were dispatched in their starship Ghost to steal some more so the fleet could make the journey.
