Rally point Nova

Rally point Nova was a rendezvous point used by the Alliance to Restore the Republic. In 2 BBY, during the Galactic Civil War between the Alliance and the Galactic Empire, Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn located Phoenix Squadron's base on the planet Atollon. As the rebels evacuated, General Jan Dodonna ordered both the Massassi Group and Phoenix Cell fleets to jump to hyperspace and regroup at rally point Nova. However, as Thrawn's Seventh Fleet arrived over Atollon, two Interdictor-class heavy cruisers prevented the rebel ships from jumping to hyperspace and reaching the rally point. As the Battle of Atollon progressed, the interdictors were eventually destroyed, and some rebel ships managed to escape to the moon Yavin 4.
