The attack on Obumubo was launched by the Rebel Alliance's 61st Mobile Infantry against an Imperial garrison on the moon Obumubo during the Galactic Civil War as a part of Operation Ringbreaker.[1]
Prelude
Edit
Twilight Company had been attacking several planets in an effort to divert troops and supplies away from the shipyards of Kuat. The fighting had been bloody. No troopers had died at the Attack on the dockyards of Najan-Rovi, but injuries and exhaustion had taken a toll.[1]
The BattleEdit
The garrison had been from fighting of the sea creatures of Obumubo for months and gained experience. The Battlefield favored the defenders and the garrison expertly defended the fort. In the initial landing, 2 Twilight soldiers and a medic drowned after jumping from the dropships. Another dozen died in the first assault. It took two more days for the siege cannons to be prepped on the fluid landscape and the cannons brought down the garrison at last.[1]
AftermathEdit
The Thunderstrike sped out of system as Imperial reinforcement arrived. Former Governor Everi Chalis promised that their actions could lead the Alliance to victory.[1]
