Raid at the Wretch of Tayron

The raid at the Wretch of Tayron was a battle waged by the Pathfinders, an elite force within the Alliance to Restore the Republic, against an Imperial Security Bureau black site at the Wretch of Tayron in 4 ABY. As the operation commenced, two of the Pathfinders, Sergeant Kes Dameron and Sakas, shot down an All Terrain Scout Transport, the downing of which caused a breach in the facility's wall and allowed General Han Solo and his Pathfinders to enter the base. Once inside, they secured the surrender of the base's commander and used the protocol droid C-3PO to hack into Imperial intelligence files. The files revealed the Empire had begun executing Operation: Cinder, a posthumous order from the Emperor commanding Imperial forces to devastate several worlds as retribution for his demise.

The Alliance took the intelligence they gained and fought back against Operation: Cinder on countless worlds, including the Emperor's homeworld, the planet Naboo. Intelligence gathered from the raid also allowed Commander Luke Skywalker and Lieutenant Shara Bey to gain the clearance codes necessary to recover the last-remaining fragments of a Force-sensitive tree that once dwelled at the heart of the Jedi Temple on the planet Coruscant.
