Rescue at Mon Calamari

The Rescue at Mon Calamari was a Rebel Alliance mission to free Mon Calamari slaves being transported to an Imperial Star Destroyer. Rebel Intelligence learned of a secret rendezvous between a convoy carrying Mon Calamari slaves and war materiel to the Star Destroyer Warrior at the planet Mon Calamari.

Rebel X-wings, Y-wings and freighters were sent to destroy the convoy's TIE Fighter escorts. Fighter pilot Halley Kadorto then used his sensors to identify which freighter and containers carried the slaves. The Alliance freighters would dock with the vessels carrying the slaves, while the fighters destroyed the freighter loaded with weapons. The mission was going to plan until the Warrior arrived earlier than expected. The ship's commander sent fighters to destroy the freighters with the slaves still inside to thwart the rescue. Kadorto held off the attack by destroying wave-after-wave of TIEs until the rescue was finally completed and reinforcements arrived.

The mission was successful and Kadorto received the Kalidor Crescent for his heroism. The incident was ported into a simulated exercise for Rebel pilots and made Kadorto famous.
