Operation at Jarbanov

The operation at Jarbanov, also referred to as the Jarbanov attack, was carried out in 5 ABY at the planet Jarbanov by the Galactic Empire's 204th Imperial Fighter Wing. The fighter wing's Squadron Four split into flights and attacked the colony on Jarbanov, drawing a military response from the defending armored cloud cars. As the squadron withdrew from the planet, Lieutenant Palal Seedia breached some hazard vaults, irradiating the colony.

While Squadron Four evaded a New Republic corvette and rendezvoused with the Imperial Quasar Fire-class cruiser carrier Allegiance, the 204th's own cruiser-carrier the Aerie collected the wreckage of nine TIE fighters. Following the operation, New Republic agents reported the TIE attack on the Jarbanov colony, which was review by members of the New Republic Intelligence on the planet Troithe. The senior officers of the 204th also reviewed the Jarbanov operation, the leaders of Squadron Four leading the discussions.
