At some point between the Battles of Hoth and Endor,[2] fought during the Galactic Civil War in 3 ABY and 4 ABY, respectively,[4] the Imperial Star Destroyer Reliance, commanded by Captain Iolan Gendarr, was assigned to the Jardeen IV Imperial Army training center. Around the same time, General Arndall Lott was in charge of Walker Operations and Tactics training at the planet's Imperial facilities.[2]
Shortly after the Imperial forces were defeated at the Battle of Endor, Gendarr fled Jardeen IV before the New Republic forces arrived there. New Republic General Airen Cracken believed that Gendarr also aided Lott in escaping the planet.[2] In 7 ABY,[5] Cracken mentioned Jardeen IV in entries of the datafile Wanted by Cracken that were dedicated to Gendarr and Lott.[2]
