Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.
The Rebel Alliance undertook a mission approximately two months after the Battle of Yavin to the planet Dominus III in the Outer Rim Territories to scout it out as a potential Rebel base. Upon arrival, pilots Wedge Antilles, Luke Skywalker, and Leia Organa were almost immediately ambushed by an Imperial-class Star Destroyer, which dispatched a squadron of TIE/IN interceptors to deal with the Rebels. Antilles ordered the group to the planet's surface, where Organa was shot down, taking a TIE with her in the process. She managed to climb out and kill the pilot of the downed TIE. The Imperials then sent out TIE/sa bombers to search for the Rebels, forcing them to make a hasty escape through a polar storm.
