During the Battle of Endor, Calrissian and [[Sullustan]] copilot [[Nien Nunb]] flew the ''Falcon'' as [[Gold Leader]]. After the [[planetary shield]] protecting the second Death Star was destroyed, the ''Falcon'' and several Alliance fighters entered the battle station through a conduit port and headed towards the [[reactor]] core. Space was limited in the conduit tunnels leading to the core, and the relatively large ''Falcon'' lost its [[sensor]] dish when the ship clipped a conduit in the tunnel. Calrissian was able to pilot the craft into the energy core housing the main reactor, fired upon the reactor, and headed for the exhaust port. The ''Falcon'' barely outran the massive explosion that destroyed the powerful battle station. Soon afterwards, the Imperial fleet retreated, and the galaxy celebrated the death of [[Galactic Emperor|Emperor]] [[Darth Sidious|Palpatine]].<ref name="Episode VI" /> |
