In 14 BBY, an insurgent group led by Berch Teller attacked holdings of the Galactic Empire on the planet Lucazec in the Outer Rim Territories.

Prelude
In 14 BBY, a rebel cell created by the former Republic Intelligence officer Berch Teller set out to launch a series of attacks on installations and holdings of the Galactic Empire along or near the Perlemian Trade Route. To this end, they planned to steal the Carrion Spike, an advanced stealth ship that served as the personal corvette of Moff Wilhuff Tarkin. With secret cooperation from Imperial Vice Admiral Dodd Rancit, the group managed to lure Tarkin away from Sentinel Base to Murkhana, where five rebels managed to board the craft and hijack it.

Tarkin, as well as his counterpart, the Sith Lord Darth Vader, appropriated another vessel, the Parsec Predator from the Sugi crime family, and tracked the stolen Spike to the Fial system and then to their first target, Galidraan Station, an Imperial space station over Galidraan III, heavily damaging it before the corvette managed to escape. These rapid series of escalating events threw Imperial high command into a crisis, particularly the Joint Chiefs. Tarkin predicted the next attack would target the mining colony and prison on Nam Chorios, but instead the rebels elected to attack the planet Lucazec, located along the Salin Corridor and notable for the presence of several Imperial-defended TaggeCo mining interests, which included surface operations and a city-sized Lucazec orbital processing center.
