Rogue Squadron was assigned
by General Carlist Rieekan to locate a Rebel ship the Nonnah that recently
crashed in the lakes of Chorax before Imperial Forces would find it. When
the 5 A-Wings from Rogue Squadron arrived they were intercepted by 6 TIE
Interceptors, which Rogue Squadron engaged. The Rebel A-Wings then proceeded
to search the area for the downed Rebel ship, while engaging TIE Interceptors
and Probe Droids. When Skywalker found the Nonnah which crashed in a lake,
an Imperial Sentinel-class Landing Craft landed near the ship on the raised
shore. It initially deployed 1 AT-ST and 3 XR-85 Tank Droids, which these
Imperial vehicles started to attack the downed Rebel ship. While Rogue
Squadron was battling against Imperial Forces, a Rebel Lambda-class Shuttle
arrived. Once the deployed Imperial Forces were destroyed a pair of TIE
Bombers with a TIE Interceptor escort attacked made a bombing run on the
Rebel Lambda-class Shuttle, while the Imperial Sentinel-class Landing Craft
deployed 3 AT-PTs to join in the fight against the Rebels. Ultimately the
TIE Bombers and their TIE Interceptor escort, as well as the 3 AT-PTs were
destroyed. After the destruction of the first wave of TIE Bombers, there
were 3 more waves of 2 TIE Bombers with TIE Interceptor escorts that attempted
to destroy the Rebel shuttle, but unfortunately they were destroyed. By
the time the last TIE Bomber was destroyed, the Rebel shuttle was fully
loaded with the Rebel soldiers and stolen Imperial equipment from the Nonnah,
which they then lifted off to their exit point off of the planet. Remaining
TIE Interceptors began strafing runs on the Rebel shuttle, but were unsuccessful
in eliminating the shuttle. Since the A-Wings from Rogue Squadron kept
the TIE Interceptors off of the shuttle long enough for it to escape. And
then escorted the shuttle out of the area to an undetermined Rebel location.
