First Battle of the Pakuuni system

The First Battle of the Pakuuni system was a conflict in the Pakuuni system by the Galactic Empire and both the Rebel Alliance and the Pakuuni Pirates. It was also the first battle of the Battle on the Frontier campaign of the Galactic Civil War.

The Battle
Thrawn, Vice Admiral at the time, began his pacification of the Pakuuni system by assessing the remnants of an abandoned manufacturing plant near the planet Argoon. Imperial forces suspected the abandoned cargo area was the result of transmissions from Rebel forces voicing their intent to destroy the loading area. Thrawn oversaw this operation from his flagship Victory-class Star Destroyer Stalwart, initially launching a single TIE Bomber to inspect the five groups of abandoned Cargo containers. TIE Bomber Alpha 1 discovered various useful station parts among the containers, resulting in the launch of Heavy Lifter group Mule. As the Heavy Lifters began to arrive to collect useful containers, Rebel Y-wings entered the area, heading for the Stalwart. TIE Fighter flight group Gamma was launched in response to the impending bombing runs, aided by TIE Bomber Alpha 1 having completed its inspections. Soon additional Rebel starships joined the battle, CR90 corvettes Dragon and Beecon, later followed by Viper. The Stalwart launched additional TIE Bombers and Interceptors to counter the increasing rebel threat. The new arrivals succeeded in quelling the enemy corvettes, only to be answered by rebel B-wings and X-wings emerging from hyperspace. As Imperial starfighters finished off the last of the Rebel raiders, all five Heavy Lifters from Mule had completed their mission and returned to the Stalwart's hangar. A single A-wing arrived as a last ditch effort to inflict Imperial casualties, however Thrawn's mission was already complete.
