Battle of Krant (Galactic Civil War)

"We couldn't believe our luck. A real Jedi Knight to help our cause!"

- Wedge Antilles

The Battle of Peche and Theenes was the first battle of the Krantian Civil War, during the Galactic Civil War.

Prelude


Early in Galactic Civil War, Krant became a major rendezvous point for Bothan spies and Rebels. In 1 BBY, Bothan spy Utric Sandov arranged a meeting with Leia Organa to discuss information that could be vital to the Rebel Alliance. However her ship, the Cretacian, was intercepted by the Empire.

The battle
"I am Echuu Shen-Jon. I sensed a disturbance in the Force.''" "You're a Jedi Knight?" "''I have been in hidding since... the Jedi massacre..."

After their crash on Krant, Princess Leia and her escort were ambushed by a squad of stormtroopers in a small village. The Rebels were rescued by the Jedi Master Echuu Shen-Jon who was hidding there since the Jedi Massacre.

Leia Organa later met members of the Krantian Resistance. The towns of Peche and Theenes were threatened with extermination when the Empire set up two camps, Sagol and Kaxol to destroy Rebel operations in the two cities.

Leia Organa and Echuu Shen-Jon agreed to help the Krantian to defend the three bridges that connected the cities against Imperial assaults. The Imperials forces abandoned the attack after the Rebels destroyed one of the camps.



Aftermath
"The towns of Peche and Theenes pledged their support to the Alliance and agreed to help us in any way they could."

- Wedge Antilles

After the battle, Theenes and Peche joined the Rebel Alliance. The Krantian agreed to help Leia and Echuu Shen-Jon to find Ghost Base and Utric Sandov.
