The Imperial Security Bureau was setting up new surveillance satellites near Coruscant and was extending its network into the Outer Rim Territories. The Rebels aggressively pursue the destruction of these satellites since they are extremely disruptive to Imperial control. These new satellites that were being set up became one of the Rebels targets. A lone X-Wing hypered into the area and conducted the attack. The Rebel only had a few minutes before an Imperial frigate would arrive. The Rebel was unfortunately able to destroy the mines that were protecting the comm sats, the comm sats themselves and the two Stormtrooper Transports that were in the area. Unfortunately the Imperial Nebulon-B Frigate Sentinel arrived too late to save Imperial assets that were destroyed by the Rebels. The frigate arrived moments after the last Imperial asset in the area was destroyed. With targets in the area destroyed, the Rebel X-Wing safely hypered out of the area.
