Attack on Phoenix Squadron (4 BBY)
Canon Linked from 34 articles
An attack was carried out on Phoenix Squadron by the Sith Lord Darth Vader in 4 BBY, during the Siege of Lothal. Having concocted an elaborate trap designed to track the rebel group known as the Spectres back to their fleet, Vader launched a one-man assault on the Phoenix fleet in his TIE Advanced, decimating the group and crippling the rebel command ship Phoenix Home. Due to the quick thinking of Hera Syndulla and an incidental distraction caused by Ahsoka Tano, the rebel CO and command crew managed to evacuate the crippled Phoenix Home, and the surviving rebels were able to retreat into hyperspace before Imperial reinforcements arrived.
