Mission to Goratak III

The Mission to Goratak III was fought after the Battle of Hoth between forces of the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire. The purpose of the mission was to capture an Imperial I2-CG droid, which held critical information on Rebel starfighter manufacuturing operations on Tar Morden. Imperial Intelligence had gathered the information and sent it to the Intelligence Sector HQ in a Plexus Droid Vessel. Enroute, rebels intercepted the ship which subsequently self-destructed after ejecting the droid onto the planet Goratak III.

The Rebel strike team included Safari One, Red Smoke, and the Buzz Boys squads (one of which included the young SpecOps fighter Jodo Kast), as well as Rebel sympathizers Grindol Maal and the Revwien Thuwisten Wuwuhuul. Fought in the Crystal Forests, they encountered resistance from accomplished Mandalorian bounty hunter Feskitt Bobb, who commanded two units of snowtroopers and was aided by a number of other, less experienced bounty hunters.

While the outcome of the battle was unclear, it is known that during the battle, Kast killed Bobb with a shot from his blaster, mistakenly believing it was Boba Fett he had killed. He subsequently left the Alliance Special Forces and set out as a bounty hunter.
