Strike on Yavin 4

The Raid on Yavin IV was one of many attempts to drive the Rebel Alliance off of Yavin IV.

A larger attack than usual, Red Squadron, led by Luke Skywalker, flew against the dropships deploying ground forces. After a majority of the Imperial loader shuttles and dropships were destroyed, a transport slipped through defenses and deployed a stormtrooper force into the Massassi Temple, pinning General Jan Dodonna in the Ceremonial Chamber. As Red 3, Sarkli, defended the fleeing transports in orbit, Luke and Wedge Antilles landed in the temple and ripped through the attackers.

The two managed to save Major Bren Derlin and Dodonna, and proceeded to the entrance of the base, where they were pinned down by two AT-STs. Sarkli swooped down and destroyed the walkers, allowing the group to escape in a GR-75 medium transport.

The Alliance returned to the base after the Imperials left the moon.
