Battle of Brentaal IV (Galactic Civil War)

"Your sacrifice will be feted on thousands of worlds."

- Ysanne Isard to Baron Fel

The Battle of Brentaal IV during the Galactic Civil War was one of the first major skirmishes in which Rogue Squadron was instrumental.

The fledgling New Republic managed to defeat Imperial forces and take control of the planet Brentaal. When Imperial Admiral Lon Isoto offered no direct resistance, Rogue Squadron took control of one of Brentaal's two moons, from which it could stage the liberation of Brentaal. The only serious resistance they encountered was from the 181st Imperial Fighter Group led by Soontir Fel, but the Rogues—with the assistance of Kapp Dendo—were able to defeat Fel and take control of Brentaal itself.

The battle itself was actually a plan by Ysanne Isard and Sate Pestage, who drew New Republic forces to Brentaal knowing full well the incompetence of its garrison commander. They hoped to use the defeat to discredit the Cabal, their rival Imperial ruling faction that controlled Brentaal. However, the plan between Pestage and Isard was actually a plan within a plan by Isard to allow Brentaal IV to be captured, thus discrediting Pestage to the Cabal and paving the way for the removal of both.
