Battle over Tatooine

After Kyle Katarn stole a partial set of the Death Star plans during the Battle of Danuta and when Rebel prisoners stole the other set of the plans from the Death Star, they beamed them to Princess Leia and a group of soldiers, who were on Ralltiir. They soon departed in their Blockade Runner, the Tantive IV.

Meanwhile, the troopers of the 501st Legion were attacking a small Rebel outpost in the Polis Massa system, where intelligence falsely tracked the plans. They found information from a Rebel holodisk that the plans were beamed to the Tantive.

While en route to Alderaan, their Tantive's trip was interupted by a Star Destroyer. After it was captured, Darth Vader and a group of Stormtroopers entered the frigate with a TIE Boarding Craft.

Rebel troopers and Imperial Stormtroopers of the 501st Legion engaged in a firefight aboard the Tantive. After Darth Vader destroyed the security mainframes, he came across some acess codes that allowed his troops to gain access to the rest of the ship.

After most of the Rebels were killed and captured, Vader strangled Captain Antilles, owner of C-3PO and R2-D2, to death after interrogating him about the location of the Death Star plans.

Princess Leia transferred the plans into R2, who escaped the Tantive with C-3P0 in an escape pod. Leia was captured, and the Empire was victorious, though they did not find the plans.
