"So that's it. The problem is simple—the solution isn't! Since the Tarkin was built without the single flaw that allowed us to stop the Death Star, a direct attack would be suicide! Our only chance for success is to get a small group of commandos inside the Tarkin—and destroy it from within!"
―General Carlist Rieekan[2]

In 3 ABY, a crack team of Rebel Alliance commandos infiltrated the Tarkin, an Imperial superweapon, in an attempt to destroy the battlestation from within before its construction could be completed. The Rebels succeeded in sabotaging the station when Leia Organa rewired the Tarkin's superlaser activating mechanism to fire on itself.
