Battle of Science Station Youst

The Battle of Science Station Youst was one of the preliminary battles of the Sepan Civil War, in which Ripoblus forces launched an attack on the Dimok Science Station Youst. Imperial forces intervened, resulting in the Ripoblus forces being driven off, and illegal Dimok weapons being discovered.

The battle
Ripoblus forces staged a raid on the Dimok Science Station Youst as a retaliatory strike in response to a recent Dimok raid on one of their weapons convoys. Using a mix of Modified Corvettes and Assault Transports, they quickly penetrated the station's modest starfighter defense, and began firing on the station itself. Near the station were a series of containers, which the Ripoblus planned to steal for their own benefit. Just as the Dimok defenses fell, the Victory-class Star Destroyer Protector entered the area, and launched 3 TIE Fighters and 3 TIE Bombers. Maarek Stele, piloting one of the bombers, proceeded to attack the Assault transports. However, just as he did, the Modified Frigate Dromon entered, just above the Protector, and began firing on it. Stele and his wingmates quickly retreated to defend the Protector, and destroyed the Dromon. The rest of the transports were quickly destroyed by Stele, and the Ripoblus retreated. Acting on orders from the Prophets of the Dark Side, Stele scanned the Dimok containers and found illegal weaponry. The Imperial authorities would then confiscate these weapons and place Science Station Youst under their supervision.
