Skirmish above a luminous lake

Approximately two weeks after the Battle of Endor, Rogue Squadron engaged in a skirmish above a luminous lake with TIE Series starfighters of the Galactic Empire. The Rogues were flying for the Alliance of Free Planets, which had been declared by the Rebel Alliance just after Endor. In a dark night sky, Rogue Leader Wedge Antilles clipped a TIE, which shorted out the engines and instruments of his X-wing fighter and forced him into a crash landing. The pitch blackness of the night worried him, but luckily, luminous fish guided him to a lake below. The rest of the Rogues took care of the remaining TIE contingent, and a Y-wing rescued Antilles and brought him to a waiting EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate, where his fellow pilots ribbed him about his perennial luck. The incident was bittersweet for Antilles, however, as he ended up reflecting on a time in his life when he had not felt so lucky—the death of his youthful girlfriend Mala.
