Rescue mission on Yavin 4

The Second Battle of Yavin IV was one of the Skirmishes of Yavin IV immediately after the Battle of Yavin

With the destruction of the Death Star, the Rebel Alliance celebrated their victory. However, the joy was cut short, as a number of escape pods and Imperial shuttles escaped from the Death Star and crashed on Yavin IV. The Imperials survivors united and moved toward the Massassi Temple.

They performed a few guerilla tactics on Rebel command posts and gained their ground. They captured a number of Rebel jungle turrets, and reactivated the damaged AT-STs that survived the shuttle crashes. Rebel vanguards immediately took action, and stalled the AT-STs while the standard infantry prepared the staff for evacuation. They scored a few hits at the scout walkers. The other troopers gained back their ground and engaged the stormtroopers in firefights in the jungle.

A number of troopers scaled the waterfall and captured the main Imperial crash site, destroying more scout walkers not yet activated.

The Rebels were ready to be evacuated, but they soon discovered most of the Imperials were dead. The rebels continued to occupy their posts on Yavin IV, though they would lose much of the base during the upcoming battles.
