Warning: This infobox has missing parameters: unit1, unit2, unit3 and unrecognized parameters: BG2, imageBG During the Galactic Empire's Sepan campaign, a combined Dimok and Ripoblus fleet attacked the Imperial escort carrier Tropsobor as it delivered a shipment of TIE/ad starfighters to Admiral Harkov's flagship, the Victory I-class Star Destroyer Protector. The attackers were defeated by the Imperial forces.
Prelude
The Ripoblus and Dimok governments have been at war with each other, but once the Imperial Navy arrived and intervened in order to bring the two sides to an agreement, they instead decided to team up against a common enemy. After a series of defeats, the Dimok and Ripoblus attempted a large offensive against a TIE/ad starfighter convoy that was supplying them to Admiral Harkov's fleet, in order to replace the TIE/LN starfighters and TIE/IN interceptors that were lost throughout the Imperial campaign.
The battle
As the TIE/ad starfighters flew from the escort carrier Tropsobor to the Protector, the Victory I-class Star Destroyer of Admiral Harkov, several squadrons of BTL Y-wing starfighters and Z-95 Headhunters exited hyperspace with Delta-class JV-7 escort shuttles, backed by Nebulon-B2 frigates, MC40a Light Cruisers, and Assassin-class corvettes. Maarek Stele, an elite TIE pilot, engaged them with several other TIE/LN starfighters and interceptors. They fought the attacking fighters to give time for the TIE/ad starfighters to make it aboard the Protector. After defeating the enemy fighters and defending the TIE/ad flights AA, AB, AC, and AD, the Imperial pilots destroyed the Ben Het.
Aftermath
Resupplied with new starfighters, Admiral Harkov forced the leaders of the two warring factions to meet him aboard his vessel and make peace agreements, ending the campaign. Elite pilot Stele was sent to the Pakuuni system afterwards.
