General Maltaz took the remaining Imperial regiment into the western corridor were they were trapped and decimated by our reserve forces. We thought this turn of events would preserve our victory. It didn’t. By the end of the battle, we were reduced to a one-to-one parity with the Imperials, mostly under the protection of the surviving Hammers on the southern plains.

Orders went out immediately for evacuation, and the arrival of Alliance naval forces provided the protection we needed to escape the Imperial capital ship and its TIE fighters before Moff Tallis could send additional reinforcements.

The following research I uncovered from the Halowan trans-data library:

Posing as a special agent of Fakir sector’s Moff, I bypassed the security forces on Halowan and gained access to restricted Imperial files. Accessing data on the Battle of Turak IV, I learned that nearly General Maltaz’ entire assault regiment, including the two battalions of Hell’s Hammers Armor Division, were destroyed. In addition to the Imperial survivors who sought refuge with Hell’s Hammers, only three tanks from Colonel Zel “Rancor” Johan’s battalion command survived. Intelligence gathered from TIE fighter patrols surveying the combat zone reported large numbers of Rebel assault vehicles and starfighters scattered across the plains in front of the Hammers’ positions. Although suffering the loss of two entire Hell’s Hammers battalions, the cost to the Rebel Alliance was even higher. Living up to their motto of “Strike to Kill,” the effectiveness of Hell’s Hammers against superior odds raised their reputation as an Elite Armor Division and became a source of pride to both Hell’s Hammers and the Imperial Army.

Clearly, the arrival of Hell’s Hammers was a disastrous development for Parmel Sector Alliance. After discovering the location of the Rebel base on Turak IV, Moff Tallis authorized General Maltaz to lead the Imperial assault regiment, designated Battle Group Turak, to eradicate the Rebels. However, Tallis also requested that two battalions of the Hell’s Hammers be transferred by Imperial Central Command to Turcan III and assigned to Battle Group Turak.
