Shortly before the Battle of Jakku in 5 ABY, Grand Moff Randd commissioned the new Captain Ciena Ree as the commanding officer of the Inflictor. The Inflictor was in service following the events of the Battle of Endor, which saw the fragmentation of the Galactic Empire and the transformation of the Rebel Alliance into the New Republic.
