The Imperial platform Depot
5 was an Imperial Navy Supply Depot and was a target in a Rebel raid.
6 TIE Fighters from Alpha Squadron were deployed to maintain a standard
orbital patrol around the platform. Soon after the start of the mission,
the Rebel raiders attacked. It was started by two X-Wings hypering into
the area. Moments after, Y-Wings came out of hyperspace and began to attack
the Imperial platform. During the fighting Alpha 1 was hit and destroyed
and thus Alpha 2 became the new leader. Once the Rebel Y-Wings were able
to disable the Imperial platform, Rebel Heavy Lifters entered the area
to steal the Imperial supply containers. However the Rebel Heavy Lifters
did not get away with the containers. They along with the remaining Y-Wings
and X-Wings were destroyed. Moments after the last Heavy Lifter was destroyed,
the ISD Colossus dropped out of hyperspace. And moments after that
the platform deployed three Tugs. With the Rebels defeated, Imperial Forces
declared victory.
