The Second Battle of Endor

While Skywalker raced back to Endor, new allies arrived on the forest moon. Fenn Shysa and his Mandalorian Protectors brought a dozen new Cabur-class starfighters. The wedge-shaped, twin engine fighters were manufactured by MandalMotors following the death of Mandalore’s last Imperial Advisor. The Protectors were joined by Bey, who claimed to have come along just for the adventure. Alliance leaders were grateful for the help, having recently lost contact with units on Champala, Ord Bueri and Koda Space Station. Skywalker’s report of the fleet at Kinooine seemed to confirm their suspicions that an attack was imminent.

An evacuation of Endor began, but only a small number of ships departed before sensors picked up a large group of fighter craft entering the system. Ackbar launched fighters to engage the enemy and cover the evacuation, unaware that hours earlier, Nagai and Maccabree troops led by Lieutenant Hool B’shaki had landed on the surface in secret and freed Knife and the other prisoners. Skywalker and Solo discovered the landing force just as the battle in space began, and learned that the Nagai had an informant on Endor.

Alliance starfighters were commanded by Gold Leader Lando Calrissian in his modified Mu-class scout shuttle Cobra, and included a temporary Rogue Squadron led by Wedge Antilles, and the Mandalorians’ Resurrector Squadron. Lumiya served as Nagai flight leader, piloting her Screamer starfighter. Alliance pilots fought hard, but began to be overwhelmed by the Nagai, who seemed to anticipate their every move. On the surface, Skywalker rushed to Endor Station to warn Ackbar of the Nagai troops. Solo raced to the tracking station but was confronted by Bey, who admitted that he had brought the Nagai to Endor. When he could not bring himself to kill Solo, his halfbrother Knife appeared to finish the job. After a brief struggle, Solo shot Knife, and Bey allowed his friend to escape. Once aware of the traitor in their midst, Ackbar signaled the fleet that their battle plans had been compromised. Calrissian quickly transmitted a new flight plan to his pilots, using erratic flight patterns to mask each other’s movements, allowing them to pick the Nagai fighters off at will. It was a trick Calrissian had learned from Solo. Her squadron in disarray, Lumiya sounded the retreat and left the battle to the troops on Endor.

Nagai ground troops were intercepted by Major Bren Derlin’s assault team before they could reach the Alliance base, allowing the High Command to complete their evacuation. Princess Leia and her Zeltron aides were attacked by Maccabrees sent to destroy the tracking station. With Skywalker’s help, they fought off the cybernetic soldiers, who used their rocket boosters hidden inside their armor to escape. The surviving Nagai fled and regrouped at Kinooine. The fleet then advanced to Terminus, gaining access to both the Corellian Trade Spine and the Hydian Way.
