After the Trade Federation invaded Naboo, the Naboo Royal Security Forces were outnumbered and outgunned. A group of resistance fighters, led by Captain Kael, were searching for allies. They saved a smuggler named Borvo the Hutt and escorted him to his mountain base. The Hutt gave the resistance several new fighters and vital intelligence. Together, they hatched a plan to destroy Trade Federation Communication Satellite 4 and infiltrate the base it controlled.

[edit] Orbital battle

The Naboo pilots and a couple of Borvo's pilots flew into orbit where Comm 4 was located. Once they were near, their sensors noticed Comm 4 had heavy shields. Regardless, Lt. Gavyn Sykes took pot shots at the satellite. Borvo told the pilots the shields were created by three nearby shield generators. The pilots fought through many Droid starfighters and mines to knock out the generators and expose Comm 4. Once the shields were down, the pilots moved to attack Comm 4, which still had missile defense turrets. Avoiding the missiles, the pilots savagely attacked the satellite and destroyed it, shutting down the control signal to a Federation base down on the planet. The base would become their next target.
