Battle at Jabiim

The First Battle of Jabiim of the Galactic Civil War was one of the last battles of the hunt for Moff Kalast, the Imperial traitor that supplied the Rebel Alliance with datacodes for the Galactic Empire's superweapon, the Death Star I.

Darth Vader gathered information across the Galaxy about the Moff's whereabouts. Eventually, he had gathered data that a recent Rebel Alliance support unit for the Jabiimi on Jabiim had the data on the exact location of Kalast. He gathered a strike team and set course for the mining planet.

The Rebels were well prepared for an attack; they had an Alliance Space Station and a defense fleet in orbit around Jabiim.

The two fleets exhanged fire. Eventually, the Alliance Space Station fell to Imperial fire from Star Destroyers. The remaining forces tagged up and attempted at one last strike against the Imperial Navy, but failed. The orbital defenses were down, and the strike team landed on the planet.

The Imperials quickly found out that the local Jabiimi were supporting the Rebel Alliance, and were fired on when they landed in a small clearing in the local village. Artillery destroyed the homesteads, and the army moved on.

Stormtroopers engaged the Rebel infantry while the bigger vehicles entered the base shield. AT-ATs opened fire on the base shield generator, leaving the outpost vulnerable to aerial assault. TIE Bombers flew down and bombarded the base.

The Imperial force searched through the nearby surviving facilities for information on the wherabouts of Kalast. They found information on Kalast's estate over Atzerri, and that he was now stationed there.

Darth Vader quickly took action and gathered his forces to head to Atzerri. The Galactic Empire had found what it was looking for for the past monthes.
