Carreras Incident

The Carreras Incident was a fleet action that took place in the Carreras system in the year 138 ABY. A blockade of Carreras starfighters was set up on the orders of Darth Wredd, who was posing as the Imperial Knight Yalta Val and was attempting to prevent any departure or arrival into the Carreras system until the construction of the Carreras G51 communications array was complete. Despite Governor Biala's misgivings, she agreed to the blockade.

Ania Solo, Sauk and AG-37 sighted the blockade from AG-37's freighter after escaping Shifalan security forces on the moon of the backwater planet of Carreras Minor. They were pursued by snubfighters from the blockade into Carreras Minor's ice rings. Soon after, Imperial Knight Jao Assam was detained aboard the blockade on the Sith's orders, but he escaped to Carreras Minor after the Shifala tried to arrest him. Assam believed that the presence of the blockade indicated that something was wrong in the system.

Solo's party were later captured by a Shifalan patrol ship and detained aboard the communications array, but Biala released them, and they attacked Wredd. All save for Solo were severely injured, and she commandeered Assam's starfighter to follow Wredd to the planet Mala. There, she helped set Yalta Val free; she then returned to the array and rescued her friends in AG-37's freighter before the communications array crashed into Mala and was destroyed. On Mala's surface, Val dueled Wredd in a repeat of their last duel, but Wredd fled before the array could crash into them. Val was also rescued by Solo just in time.

Background
Following the defeat of the One Sith which ended the Second Imperial Civil War, a new Galactic Federation Triumvirate consisting of the Fel Empire, the Jedi Council, and the Galactic Alliance Remnant became the new galactic government. The new Galactic Empress Marasiah Fel embarked on an ambitious communications infrastructure project, known as the G51 communications array, to improve communications between the Outer Rim Territories and the rest of the galaxy. The remote Carreras system in the Outer Rim was selected as a location for one of the G51 communications array's component stations. In 138 ABY, Empress Fel dispatched the Imperial Knight Yalta Val on a mission to supervise the final stages of the Carreras communication array's construction.

While traveling through the perilous Surd Nebula, Yalta Val's starship was ambushed and attacked by a Sith master and his apprentice Darth Wredd. Following the death of Darth Krayt, the One Sith had been driven underground but had regrouped with a new strategy of infiltrating all galactic governments and corporations to restore their "golden age." During the ambush, Darth Wredd convinced his master to open fire on Yalta Val's starship, causing it to crash-land on the floating world of Mala. There, Yalta Val's crew and Stormtroopers were killed by the Sith master. Before the Sith master could finish Val off, he was killed by his own apprentice Darth Wredd, who announced that his apprenticeship was over. He disarmed and took Yalta Val captive, impersonating the Imperial Knight and stealing his armor. Despite his success, Darth Wredd was unable to recover Val's lightsaber, which had been picked up and retrieved by his comm droid. The comm droid was later recovered by a young Human junk dealer named Ania Solo, a distant descendant of Han Solo, and her Mon Calamari friend Sauk.

A week later, the Sith impostor Darth Wredd was picked by Governor Biala's security forces. Under the pretext that there was a Sith presence in the Carreras system, the false "Yalta Val" coerced Biala into handing over personal control of her security forces to him. In reality, Darth Wredd intended to recover Yalta Val's lightsaber. While combing through the streets of Carreras Major, the main planet in the Carreras system, the Carreras security forces found that Yalta Val's lightsaber had fallen into the hands of Ania and Sauk. During the recovery attempt, Ania killed a Carreras security officer. She and Sauk then escaped in a speeder led the Carreras security forces on a pursuit, which killed four security officers. They then escaped to Ania Solo's junkyard on the moon of the backwater planet of Carreras Minor.
