The Empire used the element of surprise to attack this Rebel starfighter base. Most of the starfighters located at the Rebel storage facility were unmanned. The TIE Advanced moved quickly to destroy the Rebel starfighters, while the Rebel tugs were scrambling to get the Rebel starfighters manned. All of the Rebel starfighters except for the Z-95 Headnunters were not operational. A short time after the battle started 3 TIE Bombers were launched to destroy the Rebel cargo containers. In the end all of the Rebel craft in the area were destroyed. With the attack a complete success the Rebellion's effectiveness in this sector was reduced.
