Battle of Orinda

The Battle of Orinda was a battle fought late in the Galactic Civil War. After the Imperial Starfleet under Gilad Pellaeon had successfully captured several New Republic planets in the Orinda campaign, the Republic attempted a counterattack at Orinda, one of the planets captured by the Imperial Remnant.

A fleet under General Wedge Antilles and his flagship, the super star destroyer Lusankya, was dispatched to Orinda to face off against the fleet of Fleet Admiral Gilad Pellaeon, Supreme Commander of the Imperial Fleet.

Pellaeon's fleet included the super star destroyed Reaper, thus making the Battle of Orinda one of the few times ever two such vessels fought one another. The Reaper destroyed the New Republic fleet carrier Endurance with all starfighters still within the ship, as well as nearly the entirety of the Lusankya's complement of fighters. Following this debacle, Antilles ordered his fleet to retreat, and no furhter attempt was amde to recover Orinda from the Empire.
