Battle of Boz Pity (Galactic Civil War)

The Battle of Boz Pity took place around 0.5 ABY on the planet Boz Pity during the Galactic Civil War between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance. The battle occurred when the Empire discovered the Alliance's new main base on Boz Pity, through a tracking device the bounty hunter Boba Fett had planted in an R5 droid captured by the Alliance. With this information, the Empire launched a full-scale assault on the Boz Pity base, sending a large fleet to destroy the Alliance forces stationed there. Once the Imperial fleet emerged from hyperspace over Boz Pity, it landed several ground troops and walkers to assault the base. The Alliance's new elite fighting force, Renegade Squadron—led by the Commanders Han Solo and Col Serra—defended the base's main gate from the invading Imperial stormtroopers, while the rest of the Rebels stationed on Boz Pity were able to evacuate.

Although the Renegades were able to destroy an All Terrain Armored Transport walker and several All Terrain Scout Transport walkers using particle cannon turrets and explosives, the advancing Imperial forces eventually overpowered Renegade Squadron, forcing Solo to order the squadron to fall back to the rear of the base. There, the Rebels held out against the Empire's superior numbers until they were able to evacuate Boz Pity via LAAT/i gunships.
