Assault on an Imperial outpost

The morning after the Galactic Civil War's Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, a Rebel Alliance strike team—the Pathfinders—carried out an assault on an Imperial outpost on the moon Endor. The strike team's target was a base operated by Imperial holdouts looking for an opportunity to counterattack after the Empire had suffered a defeat during the previous day's engagement. Not wanting to leave remaining Imperial forces behind on the moon, General Han Solo led his Pathfinders and some of the moon's native Ewoks in an assault on the outpost.

The Pathfinders arrived on a transport piloted by Lieutenant Shara Bey and took out the base's defenses with the transport's weapons before capturing the base itself. Once inside, they gathered Imperial intelligence revealing the Empire's future plans, indicating that their war with the Empire was not yet over. Afterward, Solo debriefed about the endeavor with other Alliance generals.
