The Escape from Fest, also known as the raid on Fest, was a ground battle between the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire that took place during the Galactic Civil War. The battle was initially an Alliance Special Forces mission to steal three All Terrain Personal Transports from the Imperial research lab on Fest. When their cover was blown and the squad was trapped, Rogue Squadron intervened and extracted them safely.
