Battle of Taul

The First Battle of Taul took place between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance on the misty swamp world of Taul.

Background
The Empire had largely ignored the swampy world of Taul and were unaware of the existence of a small Rebel base there. The Empire discovered the Rebel presence by chance. One of the probe droids sent out by the empire to find the Rebel base on Hoth was dispatched to Taul. When the Empire lost contact with the droid, they sent the Visctory-class star destroyer, the Dominator to investigate the matter.

The battle
The dominator arrived out of hyperspace in the morning local time, and immediately began dispatchin troops to the surface of the planet. Due to the conditions of the battlefield, the empire did not use heavy walkers, but deployed battle skiffs, war droids, swamp troopers and repulsorlift-equipped spacetroopers in stead. Eventually, the Empire ousted the Rebels and destroyed their base. But several Rebel transports managed to escape, however.
