Canon Linked from 68 articles

The Battle of Mako-Ta, also known as the assault on the Mako-Ta Space Docks, was a major battle during the Galactic Civil War between the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire. In 1 ABY, the Empire launched an attack on the Alliance's Mako-Ta Space Docks after the Imperial spy Queen Trios revealed the base's location to Darth Vader. Death Squadron launched an attack on the rebel base, and while the newly formed Rogue Squadron was eventually deployed, Vader and his forces destroyed the majority of the rebel fleet and killed numerous rebel leaders. The remaining rebel survivors were left scattered, having taken heavy losses.
