Raid above Corellia

The Raid above Corellia was a minor skirmish during the Galactic Civil War over Corellia.

Prelude
After hearing of Han Solo's success at rescuing Chewbacca and a number of Wookiees years earlier on Kashyyyk, Mon Mothma strived to contact him. They eventually found him caught in a Star Destroyer's tractor beam over Corellia.

The raid


The rebels sent a small fleet in the system to rescue him. While the Rebel fleet attacked the Imperial-class Star Destroyers, the Y-wings moved in to disable the tractor beam of the command Star Destroyer. They eventually managed to destroy it before it could reach the Cardan-class space station. The Millennium Falcon escaped to met up with the Rebel Alliance Fleet and hyperspaced out of the system.

Aftermath
Raymus Antilles personally recruited Han Solo, despite Solo's reluctance, to assist the Rebels in a raid on an Imperial research facility over Corulag. Solo was hired to plant a tracking device and EMP in one of the cargo containers bound for the research station.
