Skirmish near an ion storm

Five years before the Battle of Yavin an Imperial Gozanti-class cruiser engaged the Ghost near an ion storm. A pair of TIE/ln space superiority starfighters deployed by the transport followed the rebel ship while it tried to escape the pursuers in the ion storm, where they were destroyed by the storm's lightning. When only the cruiser remained, it was disabled by the Ghost. The Ghost was also disabled by lightning and the crew were forced to make repairs. Ezra Bridger managed to recover the targeting console and Sabine Wren managed to completely eliminate the cruiser. When the Ghost left the ion storm, Hera Syndulla jumped to hyperspace to meet with Kanan Jarrus and Garazeb Orrelios.
