The Skirmish on Tatooine was a skirmish between the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire that occurred during the Galactic Civil War.
Battle[]
- "Ugh! Not my best landing."
"Hey, let's go!" - ―Two rebel soldiers
After escaping an Imperial attack, two rebel soldiers landed on Tatooine via escape pods near a Tusken Raider camp. The Galactic Empire then dispatched AT-STs, stormtroopers, scout troopers, shadow troopers, Demolition Troopers, and Imperial shock troopers to engage them, while Admiral Gial Ackbar arrived in an MC80 Star Cruiser and engaged the Imperial-class Star Destroyer.[1]
Aftermath[]
- "Great work! We've driven back the Empire! We're coming to pick you up!"
- ―Admiral Ackbar
Eventually, Imperial ground forces were defeated, and a group of T-65B X-wing starfighters flew down and proceeded to attack the fleeing stormtroopers, while the Star Destroyer crashed down onto the planet.[1]
