Attack on Thyferra

The First Battle of Thyferra was a battle during the Galactic Civil War. It occurred before the Battle of Hoth and after the Battle of Talay.

After using an Imperial base on Sullust as a diversion for Rogue Squadron, Moff Kohl Seerdon secretly invaded the Bacta facility on Thyferra to stop Bacta from reaching the Rebel Alliance. Rogue Squadron found out and quickly took action. A fierce battle took place, and soon all Imperial air force was wiped out.

Moff Seerdon, in his custom Imperial landing craft, engaged Luke Skywalker in a ferocious air duel. His shuttle exploded, instantly killing him, and resulted in a Rebel victory.

Other Battles
Another battle at Thyferra occurred during the events of the Bacta War, in which Thyferra was liberated from Ysanne Isard and the Galactic Empire by elements of the former Rogue Squadron.
