Ambush in the Goff system

The Battle of Goff was an ambush set up by the Calamari cruiser Liberty and the Rebel forces of the Airam sector.

The Battle
The Battle began shortly after Calamari Cruiser Liberty arrived at the set coordinates in the Goff system; Imperial Star Destroyers Conqueror and Nemesis were in hot pursuit, with the Compellor in tow.

Rogue Squadron immideatly engaged any starfighters launched by the two Star Destroyers and prevented any possible bomber attack against the Liberty; Green Squadron powered up the engines to engage the Star Destroyers. Meanwhile the Compellor powered up its gravity well projectors, effectively preventing the esacape of Rebel forces.

With this in mind, Liberty's commander ordered Green squadron to engage the Interdictor. After several Proton Torpedo hits the shield of the cruiser collapsed, damaging the hull slightly, forcing it to retreat from the battle. Green Squadron's continued attacks eventually forced down the shields on both Star Destroyers; With ion cannon salvoes the Alliance bombers disabled the ships to prevent their escape.

During this frenzy the Light Calamari cruiser Condor entered the fray and added its own firepower to the Libertys own.

With no means to defend themselves or escape, it was only a matter of time until the Star Destroyers succumbed to the combined firepower of the Alliance.

Aftermath
The Battle of Goff was a compareatively easy victory for the Alliance considering they were up to two Star Destroyers with only one Calamari cruiser and a fighter strike force, and surely helped to build the morale after the withdrawal from Gelgelar.

Further it let Alliance High Command realize what potent weapon the Compellor constituted and eventually settled on a plan to capture the Interdictor for own use.

A fact not to be underestimated is that in a single blow the Task Force Vengeance lost two of its four initial Star Destroyers, effectively reducing Imperial Firepower that could be brought to bear in the Sector.
