History
"Gamma 1 has detected illicit narcotics aboard FRT Sunnida 1"

- Imperial

The freighters Sunnida were 3 BFF-1 bulk freighters escorted by a pair of Lambda-class T-4a shuttles Yagmar operated by smugglers. The freighters were inspected by an Imperial TIE Interceptor to find that Sunnida 1 was carrying Narcotics which were illegal, while Sunnida 2 and 3 carried Stimsticks.

Upon discovering this the TIE Interceptor was ordered to help a stormtrooper transport Epsilon 2 capture the freighter by draining the deflector shields so that the Ion cannons can disable it. The shuttles Yagmar attempted to stop the operation but were shot down and the freighter was captured and taken to an Imperial shipyard.

Legacy
The event surrounding the ships was recreated into a training mission in the Combat chamber to train future TIE pilots. One of those pilots who took this training mission was Maarek Stele.

Behind the scenes
Sunnida was created in the 1994 PC game Star Wars:TIE Fighter and appears in the first TIE Interceptor training mission: "Threat Display". The freighter must be disabled and captured to complete the "Secondary" mission objectives.

The freighters also appear in the 1997 PC game Star Wars: X-wing vs. TIE Fighter, in the training mission inspection which the player can be either Alliance or Imperial and can have any craft of their choice. If the player takes the Alliance version, both Sunnida and Yagma play the same role, only that Sunnida 1 carries Imperial spies, while the rest carry repulsors and the shuttles carry Imperials. The ships can be destroyed to get more points.
