Rout of Slotern

"The sky was full of them as they descended upon us. I wondered if our men on the ground would think us brave fools, or just fools."

- Excerpt from the Eyewitness Report of Lieutenant Blair

The Battle of Slotern was a short skirmish between Imperial TIE Fighters and the Slotern air forces that resulted in the overwhelming victory of the Empire. Imperial TIE Fighters engaged the Slotern air forces, and destroyed all but two Slotern aircraft in the first pass, before returning the finish off the enemy forces in a second pass. According the sole survivor of the Slotern air force, Lieutenant Blair, the battle lasted only two minutes.
