This Rebel attack happened
upon a major Imperial Troop Convoy bearing occupation troops, that was
escorted with a minimal escort. Unfortunately after the Battle of Hoth,
the Empire fell victim to overconfidence believing that the Rebels would
be so devastated that they would be incapable of launching new attacks.
The ensuing Rebel raid was a triumph for the Rebel scum, striking a heavy
blow to the Empire while still reeling from the loss at Hoth, proved to
all the unfortunate resilience of the Rebellion. The X-Wings attacked the
Stormtrooper Transports, the B-Wings attacked the Freighters and the A-Wings
covered the attack be engaging the escort starfighters. Also each the Rebel
starfighters helped each other out with their assigned objectives. The
Imperial Troop Convoy came out of hyperspace in waves which allowed the
Rebels to destroy at least half of the convoy. 20 Standard Minutes into
the battle the ISD Resolute arrived to chase off the remaining Rebel
starfighters.
