This battle occurred during the Galactic Civil War, shortly before the Battle of Endor. The battle started when Renegade Squadron—the Rebel Alliance's elite fighting unit founded by General Han Solo—attacked the Sith planet of Korriban. Under Commander Col Serra, Renegade Squadron hoped to capture data regarding the Galactic Empire's second Death Star from Emperor Palpatine, while he was visiting Korriban. After a brief engagement with Imperial forces, Renegade Squadron was able to capture a data holocron from the Emperor's shuttle. The Korriban battle was considered to be one of the most dangerous and challenging that Renegade Squadron had ever faced, and Serra would later recount the conflict to Jedi archivist Tionne Solusar, years after the fall of the Empire.
