This engage between the
Imperial Navy and Rebel Alliance happened as the first part of Operation
Strike Fear. The Rebel fleet was evacuating all Rebel forces from their
secret base on Briggia after Rebel High Command determining that the base
would be a target to Operation Strike Fear. Lieutenant Farlander was charged
with protecting the Rebel shuttles, while the Y-Wing escorts the shuttles
as well. The Rebel starfighters hypered to the area to protect the evacuation
of Rebel ships, shortly after their arrival the Rebel Nebulon-B Frigate
Fugazi jumped into hyperspace. By the time Farlander had reached the shuttles,
the ISD Invincible dropped out of hyperspace and caught the Rebel Transports
Rhoon 1, 2 and 3, as well as the CR-90 Mahan with their shields down. Once
those Rebel ships were quickly destroyed, the ISD Invincible launched several
TIE Fighters and Bombers, Farlander and his comrades eliminated them and
any Imperial starfighters that got passed Farlander were hit by his Proton
Torpedoes. Some of the TIE Fighters and TIE Bombers were targeting the
Rebel shuttles. In the end the Rebel starfighters, CR-90 Sonnel and the
3 Rebel shuttles were able to escape from the ISD Invincible's grasp.
