During the Galactic Civil War in 5 ABY,[2] General Hera Syndulla and her New Republic forces aboard the Star Destroyer Deliverance were attacked by several Imperial sabotage droids, which were used to slow the New Republic's pursuit of the 204th Imperial Fighter Wing.[1]
Prelude[]
The 204th had purged multiple worlds, including Dybbron III, Kortatka, and Fedovoi End. At Fedovoi End, the New Republic picked up a transmission from Soran Keize that included him asking the planet to surrender. The New Republic sent the Deliverance to pursue.
Sabotage[]
Hera Syndulla
Kieze had anticipated the New Republic arriving at Fedovoi End and had deployed sabotage droids at that location to delay them. Almost immediately after the Deliverance exited hyperspace, its hull was ruptured by the droids. Nath Tensent barely made it out a room before the blast door closed because he had to throw Stornvein underneath the closing door. He met up with Wyl Lark and discussed a plan to flush out the droids. Meanwhile, the bridge was in panic as Hera coordinated with other officers. Commander Nisteen Arvad had gone missing which left the targeting crew without an officer as their other captain had been injured in a maintenance shaft. Hera ordered Stornvein to take command, but her comlink popped shortly after. Suddenly, Hera came upon Kairos, who had been injured after destroying three sabotage droids. Kairos refused to accept any medical assistance from Hera, but begrudgingly accepted the supplies to use on herself.[1]
Meanwhile, Wyl, Nath, and T5 had spent almost an hour moving to the breach controls. There, they discovered that there were no masks for them to use in the room. When the door opened, Wyl and T5 managed hold on in the room, but Nath was thrown to the floor before he could get under the door. Wyl re-opened the door again, and barely managed to grab Nath before he was flung into the vacuum. Both were severely injured and drained from this, but they had accomplished their mission of activating the breach field override. Most of the droids were flushed from compartments, and security teams moved to destroy the rest. Several dozen crew members had suffocated to death or been killed by the droids, while many more had been injured.[1]

- ↑ 2.0 2.1 The events of Victory's Price begin after the Cerberon system campaign, and the novel also features the Battle of Jakku at the end of its three main sections. Since Star Wars: Timelines dates both of those conflicts to 5 ABY, the main events of Victory's Price must therefore be set in that year. Furthermore, the sabotage of the Deliverance must also be set in 5 ABY.
