Operation Strike Fear

Operation Strike Fear was a major offensive code in response of the Imperial loss at the Battle of Turkana. Its objective was to suppress Rebel opposition and spread fear of the Emperor's power. The campaign was led by Imperial-class Star Destroyer Invincible. It began in the Dellalt system and its first goal was to destroy the secret base on Brigia.

The Rebel Alliance learnt about this when the captain of the Imperial Corvette Bixby defected. Alarmed by this information, pilot Keyan Farlander flew a reconnaissance mission and witnessed a mustering Imperial fleet. High Command ordered the evacuation of the base on Brigia. Following the evacuation, Farlander captured the Juno supply freighters heading for the Invincible, and thus disrupted the operation for several weeks. When Strike Fear continued, its next targets included Rudrig and Orion IV, which were lost.

The operation resulted in the abduction of Sullustan tech staff and leaders. Farlander helped Red Squadron rescue them and the Sullustans were convinced to join the Alliance. Crix Madine and the Sullustans came up with a plan to stop the operation by destroying the Invincible: They decided on the abduction of Cygnus Corp technical staff, coupled with the capture of a nuclear warhead.

With a Lambda-class shuttle, modified by the captive Cygnus staff, Rebel agents sabotaged the Invincible with the warhead and ended the terror.
