Operation Retribution

Operation Retribution was a series of operations organized by General Lens Reekeene of the Alliance to Restore the Republic to harass Imperial activities in the Fakir sector after the Battle of Yavin. Multiple targets across the sector were attacked by the Roughnecks, stretching their already scarce resources to the limit.

One target was an Imperial space station, and the assault was intended to draw TIE fighters away from Repair Station M13 on the planet Mycroft. After the TIEs and its carrier frigate had departed Mycroft, Green squad was to assault M13. Their mission goals included harassing the base, capturing prisoners for interrogation, the theft of much needed weapons and supplies, and the destruction of the facility if that was deemed possible. Their mission parameters called for the maximum amount of damage with the least risk, and to exfiltrate after two days.
