The ambush of a rebel convoy at Derra was a clash between the Alliance to Restore the Republic and Galactic Empire that occurred at the[1] Expansion Region astronomical object[3] Derra during the Empire's search for the rebel base after the Battle of Yavin. Although the ambush did not provide the Empire with the location of the base, it fit together with chatter about increased rebel operations in the region that had been tracked by Imperial Intelligence. Following the ambush, the Imperial search for the rebel base intensified.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The ambush of a rebel convoy at Derra was mentioned within the canon source Star Wars: Battles that Changed the Galaxy.[1] The battle comes from Star Wars Legends material, which depicted the engagement as the Battle of Derra IV.[4] This Legends battle had previously been referenced in canon through Star Wars Helmet Collection 3 as an ambush on Red Squadron.[5] However, no canon source has linked the ambush of a rebel convoy and the ambush on Red Squadron at this time.
