Destruction of Nomad City

The Second Battle of Nomad City was a raid launched by Grand Admiral Thrawn to supply his shipyards in the Bilbringi system with much-needed hfredium and kammris. He sent three Dreadnaught-class heavy cruisers to acquire them; after cutting off communications in the mobile city, and disabling both the city and its accompanying shieldships, Thrawn recieved large amounts of credits and four months worth of supplies.

The mobile city was disabled, and was unable to get away from the oncoming and deadly sunrise of Nkllon. However, a New Republic aid fleet under General Garm Bel Iblis and Admiral Hiram Drayson arrived; Bel Iblis' forces helped evacuate the citizens of Nomad City, while Drayson's forces tried to intercept the Imperial fleet. Bel Iblis and Lando Calrissian asked Drayosn to lend part of his fleet to save the city, but Drayson refused; as a result, although all of its population was safely evacuated, Nomad City itself melted under the fiece sun.
