Attack on Ryloth

In 34 ABY during the war between the First Order and the Resistance, the Attack on Ryloth was launched by the First Order after they discovered the Resistance's base on the planet Ryloth.

After General Leia Organa went to an old friend, Ambassador Yendor of Ryloth, for aid, the Resistance was allowed to set up in a Ryloth Defense Authority cave base. However, the First Order arrived in Ryloth's capital of Lessu, and someone there eventually betrayed the Resistance. In the fighting, at least 1 pilot and Yendor's daughter, Hahnee Brethen, were killed. After Organa and Rey fought side by side, the Resistance general informed Yendor that Hahnee had died. While he initially intended to die while directing a cannon, Organa learned about the Resistance pilot's death, so Yendor took control of the fallen pilot's X-wing starfighter. After the Resistance escaped Ryloth, Commander Poe Dameron believed it showed that the Resistance was at risk wherever it gathered.
