Battle on the Frontier

The Battle on the Frontier was an Imperial campaign led by Grand Admiral Thrawn to expand Imperial influence in the Pakuuni and Newland systems. During this campaign Admiral Thrawn saw to the security of the system and the constuction of Space installation NL-1.

Thrawn, Vice Admiral at the time, began the first phase of the operation by inspecting and capturing left over cargo containers from an abandoned manufacturing facility near the planet Argoon. As luck would have it, Imperial forces were required to fend off an attack by the Rebel Alliance, who previously transmitted thier intentions to destroy the remnants of the facility. Following the initial success, Thrawn set out to destroy a local Pakuuni Pirate installation, consisting of a few CR90 Corvettes, various cargo containers, and a handful of outdated Y-wings and Z-95 Headhunters. After initial raid, Thrawns task force patrolled the system, waiting for the arrival of installation parts, crew, and technicians. During this lull Nebulon-B2 frigate Ludwick withstood a combined attack by Rebel and Pirate forces. Once the supply convoy arrived and construction began additional Pirate and Rebel raiders arrived to thwart the construction of the new facility, these attacks too were spoiled by efforts of Imperial pilots, namely Maarek Stele. Following yet another futile raid by enemy forces, station NL-1 was finally completed; Thrawn himself saw fit to inspect the new station personally. Without fail Rebel forces staged yet another assault on the new installation, putting even Admiral Thrawn, at risk. Valiant efforts by starfighter pilots ensured the safety of the station, and more importantly Vice Admiral Thrawn. With the station now complete and blessed by Admiral Thrawn, Imperial forces stood by for additional forces to relieve them. During this time the Rebels staged a last ditch effort to rid the system of Imperial rule, again facing utter defeat at the hands of the Imperial Navy.
