Battle of Garel

"I have independently confirmed the Inquisitors' theory. There is a rebel presence on Garel. They use multiple spaceports to hide their ships."

- Agent Kallus

During the early rebellion against the Galactic Empire in the years prior to the Battle of Yavin, Imperial military forces launched a battle against the Phoenix rebel fleet on the Outer Rim planet of Garel. The Empire learned of the rebellion's location in the Garel City Spaceport after Ezra Bridger, a Padawan in the rebellion, was overheard talking about the rebel's location. Agent Kallus of the Imperial Security Bureau and Admiral Kassius Konstantine of the Star Destroyer Relentless led the assault against the rebels, while the Inquisitors known as the Seventh Sister and the Fifth Brother sought out Bridger and his master, Kanan Jarrus. At least one rebel transport was downed during the rebellion's retreat from Garel, but, due to the piloting of Captain Hera Syndulla of the Ghost, the Empire's tractor beam was disabled and the rebellion was able to escape from the planet and into hyperspace.
