- "We're not doing enough."
"Since the Battle of Yavin and the destruction of the Death Star, the Rebel Alliance has staged more than a dozen different attacks on almost as many worlds. We've bombed the shipyards at Kuat and the supply base on Imdaar. […] I'm not sure what else we could possibly be doing." - ―Leia Organa and Gial Ackbar
In 0 ABY,[2] during the Galactic Civil War between the Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire, the Alliance bombed the shipyards at[1] the Core[3] world Kuat. The shipyard's bombing, which was carried out after the Rebel Alliance had destroyed the Empire's Death Star[1] superweapon,[3] was one of over a dozen attacks undertaken to exploit a damaged Empire.[1]
The Kuat shipyards bombing was recalled by Admiral[1] Gial Ackbar[3] as an example of the Rebel Alliance's actions after the Death Star's destruction during a meeting of Alliance leaders[1] later that year[2] after Princess Leia Organa noted her belief the Rebel Alliance was not doing enough in their fight against the Empire. After[1] his[3] mention of the attacks, Ackbar stated he did not know what more the Alliance could be doing.[1]
