This battle occurred when
Loyal Imperial Forces received a distress call from the TIE Advanced Plants
in the Omar System, that they were under attack by the traitor, formal
Admiral Zaarin. TIE Defenders from Alpha Group hypered into the area to
oversee and protect the evacuation of remaining skilled Imperial workforce
personnel. The Emperor ordered, as a precautionary measure, the temporary
evacuation of those personnel, since Loyal Imperial Forces stationed at
Omar could not stop Zaarin's attack. This attack by Zaarin was an attempt
to seriously weaken the Empire's TIE Advanced manufacturing capabilities.
The Empire would have liked to save the factories, but the lives of Imperial
personnel was the primary concern. By the time of the TIE Defenders arrival,
Omar 3 was completely evacuated and 4 of Zaarin's TIE Bombers from the
Nebulon-B2 Frigate Raptor were making their attack run on the factory,
there was nothing that the Loyalist TIE Defenders could do to stop them.
Shortly after the TIE Defenders arrived, the Raptor launched a wave of
5 TIE Bombers to destroy Omar 1. The fight began, soon after Omar 3 was
destroyed. The Raptor launched an additional 3 waves of 5 TIE Bombers during
the battle, all the TIE Bombers were targeting Omar 1. With the fight ravaging
in the area between Loyal Imperial Forces and the treacherous forces of
former Admiral Zaarin, Container Transport Nomme evacuated most of the
personnel off of Omar 2. While that was happening YT-1300 Libro, YT-1300
Hut and Freighter Subcom had docked with Omar 1 to evacuate its personnel.
Unfortunately, some personnel remained on the factory Omar 2. The factory
along with its 2 cargo containers were destroyed by Zaarin's Nebulon-B2
Frigate Raptor. Nearing the total destruction of Zaarin's TIE Bombers,
2 TIE Advanced hypered into the area to engage the TIE Defenders. Not long
after, the remaining enemy starfighters were destroyed. By this time, Freighter
Teal was starting to dock with the X7 Factory Station Omar 1. Eventually,
Freighter Teal finished and hypered out of the area with evacuated Imperial
personnel and the final transport, YT-1300 Timber arrived to get as many
of the remaining personnel on Omar 1 off of the factory. Just after YT-1300
Timber went into hyperspace carrying Imperial personnel, Stormtrooper Transport
Groups Lambda and Epilson came out of hyperspace to finish off Omar 1,
thereby murdering the remaining Imperial personnel. Unfortunately, they
were successful, but they suffered casualties. With their escape into hyperspace,
3 groups of 6 Assault Gunboats that Zaarin sent, arrived to chase off the
Loyalist Imperial TIE Defenders. Throughout the battle, Imperial transports
were hypering in and out of the system, in the evacuation effort. The Empire
was able to save a great number of skilled Imperial Technicians and all
key personnel from certain death by the hands of the traitor, former Admiral
Zaarin.
