Battle of Kalla VII

The Battle of Kalla VII took place early in the Galactic Civil War, as part of Operation Skyhook.

Prologue
With the Rebel Alliance attempting to find the location of the Death Star, General Jan Dodonna proposed to destroy the Imperial base on Kalla VII to strand any passing ships heading for the battlestation. A group of starfighters was assembled for the mission, with Keyan Farlander and Breth Gart being among the pilots assigned.

The battle
As the Rebels successfully destroyed the Imperial base, the frigate Priam came out of hyperspace, killing Gart when his fighter hit the ship. Attempting to disable and capture Priam as it docked with a destroyed repair dock above Kalla VII, the Rebels had to engage and destroy the CR90 corvette group Dar Es sent for its protection, as well as mines laid around the frigate.

Losing many Y-wings, the Rebel force managed to disable and capture Priam when troops brought in on the transport Jordi and the Lambda-class shuttle group Panda boarded the vessel.

The Empire attempted to destroy the frigate with a counterstrike, but this was repulsed. Although Priam was badly damaged during the fighting, it managed to enter hyperspace and travel to Alliance territory.

Examining the frigate's database, the Alliance learned that the Death Star was located above Despayre.
