Recovery of the Sealion

The Recovery of the Sealion was a battle fought during the Zaarin insurrection.

Prelude
Namuura Din, the commanding officer of the Victory-class Star Destroyer Zeplin, supplied both sensitive information pertaining to the true status of the Death Star II at Endor and the Missile Boat prototype, the Sealion, to the Rebel Alliance's MC80a Star Cruiser Link. Although the Link and its crew had been captured before they could notify the Rebel Alliance of the truth at Endor, the Sealion had already been shipped to a Rebel outpost. Upon deducing from an Imperial scout within the region that the Sealion has not been relocated because no ships left the station since its arrival, the Imperials arrived at the area to investigate the containers for the Sealion, and either retrieve or destroy the container to ensure the Rebels haven't tampered with it to find out its secrets. Maarek Stele was assigned to the sole remaining Missile Boat stationed on the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Garrett, the Tau 1, to locate the Sealion container, with 5 TIE/LN starfighters from Delta Squadron providing starfighter cover for the operation, and 3 TIE/IN interceptors and 3 TIE Advanced fighters from Zeta and Eta squadrons, respectively, will be placed on reserve.

Aftermath
Upon locating the Sealion, the Imperials deduced that the Sealion had not been touched by the time they found it. Nonetheless, Emperor Palpatine recalled all surviving Missile Boats still in Imperial possession until the Zaarin Insurrection was over and the Rebel Alliance was defeated at Endor, an order that ultimately wasn't rescinded due to his death at Endor.
