History[]

"We are tracking its movements while waiting for it to contact another division and reveal its location as well."
"Very good, Commander Zahra. Continue your efforts. Not a single Rebel ship is to be left…"
―Ellian Zahra and Darth Vader[1]

The Seventh Division was formed in 3 ABY when the fleet scattered following the Battle of Hoth.[2] After a battle near Malastare resulted in the destruction of the Eighth Division while the Fourth Division was concurrently attacked,[7] and following the destruction of the Sixth Division,[8] Commander Ellian Zahra of the Galactic Empire intercepted transmissions which she believed to have revealed the Seventh Division, and began tracking it.[1]

She subsequently made a status report to Darth Vader as he travelled in a Lambda-class T-4a shuttle, and reported that she was tracking the group's movements and waited, hoping for it to make contact with another division and reveal its location. Vader acknowledged Zahra's efforts and to continue with the operation, additionally stating not to leave a single Rebel ship. The briefing was interrupted, however, when Vader sensed Luke Skywalker in the Jedi outpost on Tempes.[1]

The Seventh Division sent the Fourth Division a transmission concerning a standard rendezvous conformation and they responded even though it meant sending Zahra's forces to both of their locations. Things weren't turning out so good for the Seventh Division during the Battle at Elessia but things started to turn around once the Fourth Division arrived and they used their combined firepower to scare the Tarkin's Will away.

Later the Seventh Division would lend some of their elite pilots for the Fourth Division's Starlight Squadron who would play a key role in Operation Starlight which was a mission to find and bring the other lost cells back to return the Rebellion to full strength.
