Battle of Starkiller Base
Canon Linked from 321 articles
The Battle of Starkiller Base, also known as the attack on Starkiller Base, the raid on Starkiller Base, the assault on Starkiller Base, or the destruction of Starkiller Base, was the first major battle fought between the First Order and the Resistance during the war between the two factions.
The battle was fought in 34 ABY with First Order TIE fighters and Resistance T-70 X-wing starfighters. The goal of the Resistance fighters was to disable and destroy the Starkiller Base superweapon in order to prevent the First Order, which was charging its main weapon, from destroying the Resistance base on D'Qar and continuing a reign of terror.
The Resistance forces would achieve that goal decisively, despite a fierce defense from the First Order. Starkiller Base was destroyed, and the First Order was significantly weakened, despite both Kylo Ren and General Armitage Hux surviving the battle.
