Bacta War

"I joined this Rebellion to fight the Empire's tyranny. Just because we have Coruscant doesn't mean that's ended. The New Republic might not be able to strike at Thyferra, but there are Rebels around who can."

- Wedge Antilles

"Borsk Fey'lya: This is insanity! Jedi Skywalker, convince them of their folly. They will fail if they try.

Luke Skywalker: As my master told me, there is no try:one can only do or don't. It seems, Wedge those are your chioces.

Wedge Antilles: No choice at all, Luke. We're, ah, we were Rogue Squadron. We do."

- Luke, Wedge and borsk Fey'lya discusing rogue squadrons resignation from the New Republic

The Bacta War refers to the military and political conflict between Ysanne Isard and the New Republic following the liberation of Coruscant from Isard's forces in 7 ABY.

It was during this period that the members of Rogue Squadron resigned from the New Republic military and independently pursued Isard, who had secured the bacta-producing world of Thyferra. Their efforts were aided by fringers like Booster Terrik and Talon Karrde.

The war culminated with the New Republic victory at the Battle of Thyferra. During the battle, Rogue Squadron supposedly killed Ysanne Isard. They later found out, that they did not, but that they destroyed a shuttle that Isard had fooled them in to thinking she was on, through the use of comlink signals. As the Rogues found out later, she cloned her self around this, time as well.

In the aftermath of this victory, Rogue Squadron learned that their resignations had been "creatively misfiled", and that the New Republic had retroactively made the Bacta War an officially sanctioned operation.
