Battle of Vrogas Vas

The Battle of Vrogas Vas was fought during the Galactic Civil War on the planet Vrogas Vas between Darth Vader, Imperial Commander Karbin and his forces, and the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Using intelligence provided by the rogue archaeologist Dr. Aphra, Vader traveled to Vrogas Vas in search of Luke Skywalker. Lord Vader inflicted heavy casualties on Alliance starfighters before being rammed into and crash-landing on Vrogas Vas.

Using his mastery of the dark side of the Force, Lord Vader inflicted heavy casualties on rebel space and ground forces and confronted Princess Leia Organa. Before Vader could finish off the Alderaanian princess and rebel leader, he was attacked by Commander Karbin and his Imperial forces, who had come to claim Skywalker for themselves in order to curry the Emperor's favor.

Skywalker and his comrades Han Solo, Chewbacca, R2-D2, and C-3PO saw action against both Karbin's Imperial forces and Dr Aphra's crew: the murderous droids Triple Zero and Beete, and the Wookiee bounty hunter Krrsantan. Skywalker was captured by Karbin's forces but Solo and the others managed to defeat Dr Aphra's crew. With the help of Dr Aphra, Vader managed to defeat and kill Karbin, eliminating a threat to his place in the Empire.

Vader then used the Force to crash Karbin's shuttle, which was carrying Skywalker. Skywalker reunited with his rebel comrades but were ambushed by Dr Aphra. However, Dr Aphra was knocked unconscious by Princess Leia and taken prisoner by the rebels. The rebels then escaped offworld.
