Battle of Garel

The Battle of Garel was a battle fought during the Galactic Civil War in 3 BBY when the armed forces of the Galactic Empire launched an attack against Phoenix Cell on the Outer Rim planet of Garel. The Empire learned of the rebellion's location in the Garel City Spaceport after Ezra Bridger, a Padawan in the rebellion, was overheard talking about the rebels' location. Agent Kallus of the Imperial Security Bureau and Admiral Kassius Konstantine of the Star Destroyer Relentless led the assault against the rebels, while the Inquisitors known as the Seventh Sister and the Fifth Brother sought out Bridger and his master, Kanan Jarrus. At least one rebel transport was downed and destroyed during the rebellion's retreat from Garel, but, due to the piloting of Captain Hera Syndulla of the Ghost, the Empire's tractor beam was disabled and the Phoenix Cell was able to escape from the planet and into hyperspace.
