The Skirmish near Gelgelar was a space battle between Rebel Alliance forces and elements of the Imperial Navy that took place shortly after the Empire seized control of the Gelgelar system. The skirmish erupted when a deep-space operation to transfer survivors of the Evacuation of Gelgelar to the medical frigate Redemption was interrupted by the arrival of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Nemesis and a minor force of Assault Gunboats.
