Battle of Kothlis

A battle at Kothlis occurred after secret Imperial construction data was secured during a raid on the freighter Suprosa. Rebel Alliance forces took a computer core holding the Death Star II plans from the freighter and delivered it to a Bothan Spynet safehouse on the colony world Kothlis. The site was raided by bounty hunters, and although rebel Commander Luke Skywalker was captured, the data core was smuggled out. The core was transferred to the CR90 corvette Razor. A battle started over the planet when the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Motivator arrived and captured the Razor. Rebel reinforcements arrived and destroyed the Star Destroyer, which plunged to the planet with the corvette in its hangar bay. A commando raid was launched to recover the data, and although surviving Imperial forces deployed to defend the wreckage, Crix Madine's commandos took the data before the reactor went critical.
