After the Battle of the Gauntlet, which saw the destruction of their base on Arda I, the Rebels settled on a new base on Jagomir. A few days after the construction of their base, the Rebels began scouting the area around it and found evidence that a spy was among them. They were subsequently attacked by evarrians of a nearby nest but they defeated them and returned to the base with the news.
In order to find the traitor, the Rebels started to question other members of the Alliance on their whereabouts, background and mission knowledge. Some suspects were interrogated including Dressellian pilot Dorrian Vodani, Wookiee warrior Isshtharr, Bothan spy Masi Qual, Human pilot Rik Torrence, Ithorian diplomat Urtuaa Haaot and engineer LOM-series protocol droid VX-19. Lieutenant Var Narek was finally exposed as an Imperial spy and a traitor to the Alliance.
Var Narek consecutively held Senior Advisor Setenna Hase hostage and fled with his prisoner on a 74-Z speeder bike. The Rebels chased him across the swamps of Jagomir but he managed to leave the planet aboard a JumpMaster 5000. Var Narek set course for Ord Radama so that Setenna Hase could be interrogated by Imperial Intelligence. The Rebels soon went after them on a mission to rescue the valuable Alliance leader.
