"The siege was broken. The people of Tureen VII were given relief. Were given a reason to hope. And the Rebels responsible escaped."

―Darth Vader in the aftermath of the blockade

Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, the Galactic Empire learned that the people of Tureen VII was secretly providing aid to the Alliance to Restore the Republic. In response the Empire launched a siege on Tureen VII by setting up the blockade of Tureen VII around the planet. The Alliance attempted three times to break through the Imperial blockade but were unsuccessful.

Relief eventually reached Tureen VII thanks to a rebel team led by Captains Leia Organa and Han Solo. With the siege broken and Imperial bases destroyed, the rebels escaped, with the exception of protocol droid C-3PO. C-3PO remained in Imperial captivity until his astromech droid friend, R2-D2, rescued him sometime later.
