The Rebels sent three squadrons
of their starfighters in an attempt to destroy or cause the ISD Allecto
to retreat out of the area in an attempt to eliminate or capture Grand
Moff Tarkin. To stop this disaster, all TIEs that were carried on board
were deployed in four teams of 6 TIE Bombers and 12 TIE Fighters, each
to deal with the Rebels. The Rebels were attacking from three different
directions. The TIE Bombers launched their concussion missiles at the Rebel
starfighters in the beginning moments of the battle. The Rebels responded
with proton torpedoes which were directed at the ISD Allecto. TIE
Fighters had to dual duty of protecting the TIE Bombers as well as fighting
off the Rebel attack. The Y-Wings were the primary target due to their
proton torpedo payloads, as well as the X-Wings. At the mid point of the
battle, Grand Moff Tarkin in his shuttle arrived in the area in midst of
the battle. Several TIE Fighters were diverted to escort his shuttle to
the ISD Allecto's hanger. Nearing the end of the battle, the Rebels
realizing that they had failed to complete to accomplish their objectives,
hypered out of the area. Unfortunately, the Rebels were able to collapse
the shields and cause damage to the vital of the ISD Allecto over
the course of this battle.
