Battle near the Itani Nebula

This battle took place in 1 BBY just outside of the Itani Nebula. The bounty hunter Boba Fett had been hired by Darth Vader to lure Starkiller back to Kamino.

Fett led a strike force against the Alliance Fleet stationed outside the Itani Nebula, attacking the Rebel vessels just as Starkiller and Jedi Master and Alliance General Rahm Kota returned to the fleet in the Rogue Shadow. The Alliance assault bomber Lexi Dio was quickly destroyed, but the focus of Fett's attack was the EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate Salvation, captained by Starkiller's lover, Juno Eclipse. Fett led the attack on the Salvation, boarding the ship and making his way to the bridge, where he and his troopers engaged Juno and her crew, killing her second-in-command, Nitram. He then stunned and captured her.



Starkiller and Kota, meanwhile, had docked aboard the Salvation, and Starkiller rushed to find Eclipse. As he converged on Fett, however, Fett fired a missile at the Force-sensitive's feet, damaging the Gravitation Field Generator aboard the Salvation, allowing him to flee with Eclipse. Fett took her aboard his starship, Slave I, and narrowly managed to flee the battle at Starkiller's watch due in part the Terror Walker's intervention. Frustrated with his failure to stop Fett from making off with Eclipse, Starkiller began channeling Force Rage, slaughtering several Stormtrooper units. He then pursued the Terror Walker, primarily due to the fact that it was tampering with the ship's hyperdrive core.

After destroying the Terror Walker and reactivating the unstable hyperdrive reactor, The Rebel fleet then traveled to Kamino, where Starkiller knew Fett was taking Eclipse, and battled the Imperial forces there.
