This battle was done to help destroy a new Imperial threat to the Rebellion, Moff Seerdon. The Rebels did their best in trying not to cause civilian losses during their raid. The Rebel Corvette played a support role during the raid on the Imperial Tibanna Gas Containers. Rogue Squadron attacked the first platform which was protected by 1 TIE Fighter, which it was destroyed, its 9 Imperial Tibanna Gas Containers were destroyed, the Rebels encountered far heavier TIE Fighter opposition when they arrived at the second platform, in which the Rebels destroyed 7 Imperial Tibanna Gas Containers. The Rebels then proceeded to a pair of platforms (3rd and 4th) which they both had 2 Turbolasers each, these Turbolasers were primarily being used against the Rebel Corvette. The third platform had 6 Imperial Tibanna Gas Containers and the fourth had 4 Imperial Tibanna Gas Containers. After the Rebels did they destructive work there, they moved on to the fifth platform, where they were greeted by 5 Turbolasers and swarms of defending TIE Fighters. The platform had 12 Imperial Tibanna Gas Containers, which were all destroyed along with its defences. Another pair of platforms (6th and 7th) had 3 Turbolasers each, which they primarily used them against the Rebel Corvette, as well as defending TIE Fighters with engaged the Rebels, to unfortunately fail against them. The 6th platform had 3 Imperial Tibanna Gas Containers while the 7th had 6 Imperial Tibanna Gas Containers. This is where the Rebel Corvette broke off its attack. On the way to the eighth platform the Rebels starfighters were attacked a large number of TIE Fighters and TIE Interceptors, who were trying to do a swarm maneuver on the Rebel starfighters. However, the Imperial counter attack was not successful, the A-Wings from Rogue Squadron had to pass around a cloud city before reaching the final eighth platform. The platform had 6 Imperial Tibanna Gas Containers and it was protected by 3 Missile Turrets, which unfortunately was not enough to stop this Rebel raid. In the end the Rebels were successful and the Imperial commanding officer had to face the wrath of Moff Seerdon.
