Skirmish on the New Umboo Lightstation

The skirmish on the New Umboo Lightstation was a minor conflict between Tawntoom and the Galactic Empire against Mungo Baobab and his allies. Baobab and his droids C-3PO and R2-D2 were in search aboard the Caravel for the planet Roon when a tractor beam from the New Umboo Lightstation directed them inside. The three were mistaken for Imperial emissaries but were later caught out and apprehended when Admiral Terrinald Screed and his stormtroopers arrived.

R2-D2 managed to liberate both Baobab and the prisoner Noop Yeldarb before saving C-3PO. The four managed to flee the station aboard a cloudcraft after their escape triggered Nergon-14 reserves that fell on the engines. This caused a cascade of failures that resulted in the station colliding with an asteroid belt.

Baobab and his allies managed to flee the station after Bisad Koong and Gaff fled with Screed aboard Baobab's Caravel. This development also enabled for Yeldarb to reassume control of the Umboo lightstation which Koong had shut down and for him to direct Baobab to Roon.
