The resupply group that
was assigned to the Rebel Nebulon-B Frigate Rehz'nor would be heading
back to a hidden Rebel Base for more provisions. Green Squadron and Rogue
Squadron were deployed to protect the convoy and escort the ships to their
hyperspace points. Everything was going fine for the Rebels until the Strike-class
Cruiser Scylla came out of hyperspace to began to deploy its two
squadrons of TIEs. The TIE Bombers headed towards the Rebel Nebulon-B Frigate
Rehz'nor and started to launch their proton torpedoes, while the
TIE Interceptors engaged the Rebel starfighters. The Rebels ships were
making their way to their hyperspace points. The YT-1300 Outlaw
that was docked to the Rebel Nebulon-B Frigate, however joined the
battle against Imperial Forces and it also launched its advanced concussion
missiles at the Imperial starfighters. When it ran out of missiles, the
YT-1300 was already at its hyperspace point so it made its jump into hyperspace.
Moments later, the VSD Triumph came out of hyperspace and closed
in on the Nebulon-B Rehz'nor and deployed its complement of two
TIE Bomber Squadrons against it. The CR90 Corellian Corvettes also made
it to their jump points and hypered out of the area. Meanwhile, the Strike
Cruiser travelled near the Cargo Ferries hyperspace jump point targeted
Cargo Ferry Gefion 3 and began to pound away at it. All three of
the Cargo Ferries returned fire. It wasn't long after that Cargo Ferry
Gefion 3 was destroyed and as soon as it was, Strike Cruiser Scylla
jumped into hyperspace. While at the other part of the battle the TIE Bombers
unleashed their proton torpedoes against the Rebel frigate, while at the
same time the VSD was trading fire with the Rebel frigate. The Rebel frigate's
shields eventually collapsed, but by that time all of the TIE Bombers were
destroyed in a concentrated effort of the Rebel frigate and starfighters.
The VSD continually pummelled fire on the frigate, however once the shields
on the VSD collapsed, the VSD attempted to withdraw from the battle, while
at the same time maintaining its fire on the Rebel frigate. Unfortunately,
the Rebel frigate was not destroyed (the frigate did suffer heavy damage)
and the VSD Triumph was destroyed before it could escape into hyperspace.
The Rebel frigate was able to make its hyperspace jump along with its starfighter
escort.
