Battle of Pinnacle Base

The Battle of Pinnacle Base was fought between the New Republic and the forces of the Reborn Emperor Palpatine over the Republic base at the Pinnacle Moon.

The battle
Arriving above the moon accompanied by a small flotilla of vessels, Palpatine's command ship Eclipse caught the New Republic defenders off-balance and the Emperor was able to make his demands unchallenged. He demanded that Leia Organa surrender to him and board his vessel, something she did willingly, as he still held her brother, Luke Skywalker, under his influence.

Attempting to break Organa and bring her unborn child under his influence, Palpatine goaded Skywalker into attacking her and prove himself still worthy of following the way of the Dark Side.



Reaching out to his lingering good side, Leia managed to bring Luke out of his mental captivity and the Jedi Knight attacked his former master, only to provoke the Emperor into unleashing a Force-Storm that began to devour the Republic's fleet.

Using the Force to counterattack, Luke and Leia weakened Palpatine's power, sending the storm out of control and causing it to devour Eclipse. The Skywalker siblings made it out of the ship as it tore apart.

Aftermath
At the time, it was believed that the Emperor was destroyed aboard his capital ship. However, Pinnacle Base along with the whole of Da Soocha V would later be destroyed by a single projectile from the Reborn Emperor's new superweapon the Galaxy Gun.
