Mission to Kessel Station

The Azzameen family carried out a mission to Kessel Station just prior to the Battle of Endor.

Following the Battle of Hoth, the Azzameen family business, Twin Suns Transport Services, gave aid to the Rebel Alliance in the form of Bacta shipments. During delivery of one shipment, family patriarch Tomaas Azzameen and his eldest son Galin Azzameen were believed killed by Imperial forces. Following reclamation of their previously Imperialized home base, Tomaas's brother Antan Azzameen claimed that his brother and nephew were actually imprisoned, not killed. He led his surviving niece and nephews to Kessel Station, allegedly to free their father and brother.

The raid was actually a ruse to deliver the surviving Azzameens into the hands of Imperial authorities. Antan Azzameen fled the system, while the remaining Azzameens were left to fight their way out of the trap. Due to the gravitational influence of the nearby Maw cluster, the Azzameen siblings had difficulty plotting a hyperspace course, and seemed likely to be captured until family friend Dunari appeared and provided an escape course. The group then made its way out of Imperial territory and back to the Alliance Fleet with a minimum of fuss.
