Battle of Vaenrood

The Battle of Vaenrood was fought between the forces of the New Republic and Galactic Empire on the planet Vaenrood several months before the liberation of Kal'Shebbol in 8 ABY.

During the engagement, the New Republic prosecuted a ground action against Imperial forces in mountainous terrain, supported by X-wing starfighters flying air support. During the engagement, one of the X-wings, piloted by Darryn Thyte had its wing clipped by Imperial artillery fire. The resulting crash buckled the canopy, shearing off most of Thyte's right arm.
