The vessel Asbo 1 is shown escaping from Imperial Gunboats. Asbo designated a trio of Modular conveyors utilized by the Ripoblus people throughout the duration of the Sepan Civil War.
These transport vessels were discovered by Imperial forces, commanded by Admiral Harkov, when Dimok starships launched an assault against the Ripoblus supply convoy. Imperial starfighters moved to intercept, successfully driving away the Dimok attackers, but they then uncovered illicit goods: the Dimoks told the Imperials that the Modular Conveyors actually held Imperial war supplies, and they were right about one of them.
Even though they were threatened by Escort shuttles named Ayalam, Yawnor and _Noerbo _, the Imperial Stormtrooper Transports of Epsilon group managed to seize the Asbo group and take them into custody, despite the Ripoblus' efforts to prevent this.
