A pair of Imperial Strike Cruisers encountered a pair of MC40as and forced the Rebels to engage them. All capital ships in this battle launched their starfighters. The Rebels had quickly called for their A-Wing reinforcements and not long after, Imperial Forces called for their Assault Gunboat reinforcements. The battle was very fierce, however not once in the battle did any of the capital ships trade any fire, this battle was totally fought by starfighters. Assault Gunboats from Rho Squadron targeted the Rebel's command ship but were not successful in destroying it. The Strike Cruiser Asp took heavy damage and was forced into leaving the battle, by hypering out of the area. A short time later the last of the Rebel ships were destroyed, thereby spelling another Imperial victory in the Airam Sector.
