Battle of Altyr V (Galactic Civil War)

The Battle of Altyr V was one of the first conflicts between the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant. It could be part of the Operation Shadow Hand campaign

Overview
Altyr V was one of the battlefronts of the struggling New Republic. However remnants of the Empire decided it was an ideal target to halt the Republic's advent; the proceed into modifying 2 asteroids of the Altyr system and use them as a base of operations for their assault.

Kyle Katarn was practicing Mara Jade lightsaber combat and suddently the base shook and they were told to report to the Rebel command center.

Battle
When they got there, the Republic commander told them that two asteroids were taking up an orbit around the planet and bombarding it while stormtroopers were being landed; more reinforcements would arrive in two hours, sealing the fate of the base. Kyle thought that if a landing craft could be stolen, it could be landed on the asteroid and the asteroids could be destroyed. Mara Jade stayed to coordinate defenses.

Kyle moved through the base, assisting Republic soldiers. While wandering in the base, he released a hangared A-wing which fell on the heads of Stormtroopers, crushing them below it. Stormtroopers continued to pour through the base and the Republic commander ordered Kyle to shut the blast doors. Right before they shut, a TIE Bomber blasted them.

Kyle kept going and defeated several stormtroopers and AT-STs and restored power to sections of the base. Eventually he got to the Lambda-class shuttle and killed the stormtroopers guarding it. Then, he flew to the asteroid base.

He battled through the personnel until he got to the firing center where he had it fire at and destroy the other asteroid. He then set the asteroid to self destruct and left.
