Battle of Mindor

The Battle of Mindor was fought between the New Republic and the forces of Shadowspawn, as part of the campaign for the control of the Inner Rim.

The battle
The Rapid Response Task Force was sent to Mindor to end Lord Shadowspawn's plans for conquest. Although the Response Force faced no capital ship opposition, the forces of Shadowspawn utilized hangar bases on the planet Mindor and on nearby asteroids to launch over a thousand TIE series starfighters.

Shadowspawn's shadow stormtroopers were entrenched in fortified pockets across the world, and New Republic forces, under the command of General Luke Skywalker, were forced to combat them one by one. Han Solo and Leia Organa also participated in the battle, and afterwards shared a stale meal together while still surrounded by dead stormtroopers.

The Mandalorian Protectors under Mandalore Fenn Shysa were decisive in turning the tide of battle in favor of the New Republic, but Shadowspawn fought to the last man.

Aftermath
The tragic loss of life caused Skywalker to resign from the military.
