Mission to Calamari

"Wise One of the Calamarian Seas, you have my solemn promise that I will do everything I can to save you and your valiant species."

- Admiral Ackbar, to Leviathor

The Mission to Calamari was a mission undertaken by Admiral Ackbar and Luke Skywalker in the Calamari oceans to stop the Whaladon hunting.

Background
During the Galactic Civil War, an unscrupulous Whaladon hunter named Dunwell maintained a massive Whaladon Processing Center on the ocean floor, manned by dozens of Aqualish hunters. He piloted a specially designed submersible, equipped with a cargo bay that could vacuum sea-life directly into the ship. The self-appointed Emperor known as Trioculus attended a hunting trip aboard Captain Dunwell's submarine. They captured a Giant squid and several Whaladons, including Leviathor.

The mission
"Now that we've sent the news to Mon Mothma about the Imperial leader Trioculus, it's time we tried to help the Whaladons."

- Admiral Ackbar

In 5 ABY, Rebel Alliance heroes, Admiral Ackbar, Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, and R2-D2 boarded Dunwell’s vessel in an effort to save several captured Whaladons, including the venerable white Whaladon known as Leviathor before they could be delivered to the processing center. They managed to open the cargo hold allowing all of the captured animals back into the sea. Leviathor herded the other Whaladons back to the Seascape Mountains. R2-D2 activated the ship's self-destruct system and the heroes evacuated the submarine before it detonated. Captain Dunwell died in the explosion.

Aftermath
To show his gratitude, the intelligent mammal performed a special concert at a Whaladon Song celebration in the Domed City of Aquarius.
