Attack on Fondor

The attack on Fondor was a battle that took place between the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire at one of the Fondor Shipyards' stations over the world Fondor shortly after the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY. Just before the conflict erupted, Moff Derrek Raythe's Imperial-class Star Destroyer Dauntless prepared to depart the Imperial dockyard with experimental satellites meant for Operation: Cinder in tow while the special commando unit Inferno Squad oversaw its protection, but a rebel fleet at that point attacked Fondor Station. The MC80 Star Cruiser within the fleet disabled the Dauntless with its ion cannons, leaving the Star Destroyer defenseless.

To prevent the rebels from learning about the satellites' true purpose, Inferno Squad and several TIE fighters were deployed to engage the rebel ships. Inferno Squad defended the Dauntless from U-wing transports attempting to board the Star Destroyer. The leader of Inferno Squad, Commander Iden Versio, then infiltrated the rebel Star Cruiser's weapons bay and sabotaged its ion cannons with the assistance of Agent Gideon Hask. Upon leaving the Star Cruiser, Versio continued to defend the Dauntless and freed it by destroying the docking clamps holding the ship in place. The battle ended in an Imperial victory when the Dauntless crippled the Star Cruiser with its turbolasers and departed Fondor Station with the satellites intact, where they would be deployed over Versio's homeworld of Vardos.
