Carreras Incident

The Carreras Incident was a fleet action that took place in the Carreras system in the year 138 ABY. A blockade of Carreras starfighters was set up on the orders of Darth Wredd, who was posing as the Imperial Knight Yalta Val and was attempting to prevent any departure or arrival into the Carreras system until the construction of the Carreras G51 communications array was complete. Despite Governor Biala's misgivings, she agreed to the blockade.

Ania Solo, Sauk and AG-37 sighted the blockade from AG-37's freighter after escaping Shifalan security forces on the moon of the backwater planet of Carreras Minor. They were pursued by snubfighters from the blockade into Carreras Minor's ice rings. Soon after, Imperial Knight Jao Assam was detained aboard the blockade on the Sith's orders, but he escaped to Carreras Minor after the Shifala tried to arrest him. Assam believed that the presence of the blockade indicated that something was wrong in the system.

Solo's party were later captured by a Shifalan patrol ship and detained aboard the communications array, but Biala released them, and they attacked Wredd. All save for Solo were severely injured, and she commandeered Assam's starfighter to follow Wredd to the planet Mala. There, she helped set Yalta Val free; she then returned to the array and rescued her friends in AG-37's freighter before the communications array crashed into Mala and was destroyed. On Mala's surface, Val dueled Wredd in a repeat of their last duel, but Wredd fled before the array could crash into them. Val was also rescued by Solo just in time.
