Last night the Imperial Navy and the Fleet of the Alliance to restore the Republic clashed in three systems, struggling for key installations in the Yavin, Endor and Dathomir system.

The battle began with a bloody surprise when both fleet jumped to the same hyperspace jumpoint in the Dathomir system, and a brutal close combat ensued, with most ships fighting for themselves and attacking any targets of opportunity.



This engagement was won - if barely and with serious casualties - by the Imperial Task force, which then spread out to cover strategic points in the aforementioned systems, all three which soon came under attack, or were already in control of the recovering rebel fleet.



While the Yavin system was shortly afterwards abandonned, the Endor system remained hotly contested, with each side shifting more and more forces, both captial ships as well as fighter units, there. In the end the Imperial Navy was able to hold the rebel forces at bay, though by the skin of their teeth.
