Battle of Eidoloni

Background[]

Following the investigation of theComm Center, anImperialcommunications relay that was broadcasting Imperial secrets to theRebel Alliance through an old frequency that was not used for some time byZaletta, who was willing to defect from the Empire, the Alliance pinpointed the exact location of the defector who was located on a outpost calledDX-11a. The Alliance decided to attack the outpost to draw the defector out of hiding and allow him to join without attracting suspicion. However, they believed that the probability of an Imperial response was high. What the Alliance never suspected was thatCommanderKupalo was actually a brain-washed spy for the Empire.

Battle[]

TheEF76 Nebulon-B escort frigateRedemption along with 4T-65 X-wing starfighters arrived at a location nearby the outpost. The 4 X-wings then approached the station and destroyed all theTIE fighters. The two other ships, thecontainer transportFreedon and theNeutron Star-class bulk cruiserGolga'tha also jumped intohyperspace, rendering the base defenseless. After bringing down the shields, 4Lambda-class T-4a shuttles launched from the station. Red 2, piloted byAce Azzameen, inspected them and found the last one,AA-23, to contain the defector. The Alliance then sent the shuttle coordinates to rendezvous with the Rebels. The shuttle received the coordinates and left to meet with the Redemption. While that was going on, the fighters finished of the station and returned to the frigate.

When Zaletta offered his defection and docked with theRedemption, theImperial II-class Star DestroyerSubjugator and theImmobilizer 418 cruiserRestrainer arrived in an attempt to trap and destroy theRedemption. TheLiberty arrived, launchingY-wings in to help destroy theRestrainer and provide cover for theRedemption. Despite theSubjugator's large amounts of TIE fighters,TIE interceptors,TIE bomber andTIE Avengers. TheRestrainer was destroyed, allowing both of the Alliance starships to escape intohyperspace.

Aftermath[]

Zaletta was placed in theLiberty's brig for suspected treachery until the Alliance would verify his claims of ignorance. Meanwhile Kupalo, knowing that soon Zaletta's claims would be verified, would soon attempt to steal the shuttle to try and make Zaletta's defection all for nothing.

Behind the scenes[]

Bonus objectives are to destroy the Space StationDX-11a, all Imperial starfighters and theSubjugator. It is not certain if all of these Bonus objectives are Canon.
