The Imperial Nebulon-B Frigate Implacable was sent to lead an assault on a group of three Rebel space platforms which were in the proximity of each other. The strike team that would attack Platform Abrihom would consists of 3 TIE Bombers and 3 TIE Interceptors. The strike team that would attack Platform Bersabba would also consist of 3 TIE Fighters and 3 TIE Bombers. While the Platform Cyrlus would be directly attacked by the Imperial frigate Implacable. The platforms themselves were protected by Z-95 Headhunters. The attack commenced with the assigned fighters and bombers attacking their targets with loads of space bombs and searing laser blasts. The TIE Interceptors kept the TIE Bombers safe from the guns of the Z-95 Headhunters. Shortly after the start of the battle the YT-1300 Transport Satomi hypered out of the area after waiting on Platform Cyrlus.

Some time after the start of the battle, 3 B-Wings hypered into the area, their target was the Imperial frigate. However, instead of destroying the Imperial frigate, the B-Wings were destroying. Once the Imperial TIE Bombers ran out of space bombs, ATR Mako was deployed to replenish the TIE Bombers with the needed ordnance. Once the assigned target was destroyed, the TIE Bombers would move to assist in the destruction of the remaining platforms. In the end Imperial Forces were able to destroy the three Rebel platforms. With the last platform, the Cyrlus destroyed, the MC80a Ossus Day arrived soon after. The MC80a brought with it X-Wings and Y-Wings. With the platform destroyed, the TIE Bombers turned their attention on the MC80a, while the TIE Interceptors turned their attention on the Rebel fighters. The TIE Advanced were launched near the end of the battle. As it turned out in this battle all of the newly arrived Rebel vessels shared the same doomed fate.
