Battle of Dunari's Rest

About[]

During the year3 ABY, theRebel Alliance had discovered the existence of theGalactic Empire's newly constructedDeath Star II, a massive battle station capable of destroying entire ships and planets. They immediately proceeded to assemble their forces and supplies so that they could destroy the station before it became operational. However, they needed supplies to do the job, and with their own supply caches destroyed by the Empire, they sought assistance fromDunari, who headed a large trading firm. Dunari agreed to help the Rebels, as did his partners, theHurrim. Unfortunately, the Hurrim proved to be less than trustworthy and after firing upon civilian and Alliance ships, joined the Empire. Dunari rejected the Hurrim from his trading firm, but the Hurrim retaliated by summoning Imperial forces to attack Dunari's Rest, forcing the Rebels and Dunari to abandon the station.

Battle[]

The Rebels from theMon Calamari Star CruiserLibertyarrived with a full force ofB-wing starfighters andT-65 X-wing starfighters to protect the civilian vessels fleeing the casino. When they arrived, most of the casino patrons had already evacuated, but the remaining ones were attacked by several squadrons ofStar Wings. The rebels repelled them alongside Dunari's security forces, who were flyingCloakshape Fighters, and the casino employees prepared to abandon the station. Unfortunately, ImperialAdmiralGarreth Holtz arrived on theImperial-class Star DestroyerCorrupter alongside theStrike-class medium cruiserLament, and both vessels immediately launched theirTIE/LN starfighters andTIE/sa bombers. The B-wings made short work of theLament, but theCorrupter was coming at the station at full speed. The joint Rebel-Casino Security forces fought valiantly and held off wave after wave of enemy fighters until Dunari's employees had evacuated the station. Dunari left the station on theLuxury YachtRaw Deal alongsideEmon Azzameen, who had been rescued by Dunari and his younger brotherAce in a recent engagement. Ace was among the pilots fighting the battle, and they held off the remaining fighters until Dunari had cleared the battlefield. Later, the ImperialNebulon-B2 frigateCerebus dropped out of hyperspace to aid in the battle, accompanied byTIE Avengers. However, by this point, the station was totally evacuated, and the Rebels soon retreated back to theLibertyand the Separatist Cruiser. Dunari's forces also evacuated the area, but the casino was now under Imperial control.

Aftermath[]

The evacuation prevented the Alliance' trade agreement with Dunari from falling apart, and it helped ensure that the rebels would indeed be ready to attack the Death Star II when theBattle of Endor occurred. It is unknown what became of the casino, as it was captured intact but no known attempt to recapture it was made. Dunari swore revenge against the Hurrim, who were responsible for setting up the Imperial ambush. The Rebels and Dunari's forces would eventually destroy the Hurrim's main base and shut down the group's operations before moving on with their plans to attack the Death Star II. The Rebel Alliance would also exact revenge on the Empire, asAdmiralGarreth Holtz and theCorrupter were also destroyed with the Hurrim.
