Attack on the DS 5 convoy

The Second Battle of DS 5 was a conflict during the Battle for Honor campaign in the Galactic Civil War.

The Battle
Upon locating Harkov, Gunboats from Mu returned the system near Rebel outpost DS 5. Imperial Intelligence reported the transit of various cargo vessels bound to Harkov’s location. Assault Gunboats Mu received the assignment to inspect and destroy all incoming cargo craft. Equipped with Heavy Rockets, the Gunboats emerged from hyperspace almost twenty kilometers from DS 5 and the Protector, lying in wait for anything that may arrive to re-supply the traitor Harkov. Three Bulk freighters from Karflo arrived first, immediately seized by the four Gunboats from Mu, aided by four additional Gunboats from Rho. In the moments to come, Imperial Gunboats destroyed two Modular Conveyors SoroSuub, Container Transports Morgath 1 & 5, and two CR90 corvettes Sundog. By the time Imperial starfighters could destroy the arriving convoy, TIE Avengers from Victory Star Destroyer Protector had closed the distance on Gunboats Mu and Rho. Outclassed and out gunned Imperial fighters offered a brief show of force by destroying a few of the far superior Avengers, then escaped to the safety of lightspeed.
