Battle of Pondut The Battle of " Pondut " was a battle fought during the Galactic Civil War at " Pondut " . Prelude . Grand Admiral Demetrius Zaarin , who was the head of research and development of the Imperial Navy ' s starfighters , had recently developed TIE Defenders and delivered them to Emperor Palpatine , despite his Research platform being attacked at the station and at the transfer site at Vinzen Neela 5 by Rebel raiders for the Emperor ' s personal inspection . Soon Zaarin decided to focus on new research on Beam weapon systems to be installed on his TIE Fighters . However , his supplies and equipment were attacked again by a Rebel strike force . During the battle B - wings were discovered to be using a new Warhead , after disabling one of the B - wings they discovered that the warhead was a Mag pulse warhead , developed by Galactic Electronics in the Corporate Sector . This was considered treason and Zaarin decided to seize the corporation ' s Station Pondut and all assets and technology . The Battle . Zaarin first sent Assault Gunboats " Tau " , one of which piloted by Imperial Ace Maarek Stele , to take care of the platform ' s Z - 95 Headhunters " Adam " , " Charlie " and " Delta " . While the dogfighting began , quickly in the Gunboats favor , a Stormtrooper transport " GEC U47 " docked with a container and attempted to flee the battle . But " Maarek Stele " intercepted and disabled the transport before it could escape . Realizing that their starfighters were losing , a Lambda - class T - 4a shuttle " Kalree " containing VIPs launched from the platform attempting to escape , but the shuttle was also disabled by Stele . A YT - 1300 light freighter " Lucky Day " carrying an arms dealer also launched from the station to escape to hyperspace , only to be disabled by Stele as well . 3 minutes into the battle 3 Gamma - class ATR - 6 assault transport s Omega arrived as the last of the Z - 95s were destroyed . Stele also helped the Assault transports in disabling Platform " Pondut " , which wasn ' t easy because the installation was well armed with multiple laser turrets . When the station was disabled two A - wings , 4 Y - wings , armed with Mag Pulse warheads , and a Cargo ferry " Bujiboi " arrived , but the A - wings and the " Bujiboi " became overwhelemed when " Star Destroyer " " Glory " arrived , launching TIE Bombers destroyed the " Buhjiboi " and the 4 Y - wings were disabled in an attempt to acquire the warheads for themselves . Soon afterwards B - wings arrived to destroy the station , but they were all destroyed by Stele , while he made sure that the Utility tugs , U - 4f91 , U - 4f92 , U - 4f93 , and U - 4f94 docked with the disabled Y - wings and brought them to the " Glory " . Aftermath . The capture of " Pondut " was considered by the Empire to be an example to anyone who was thinking of trading with their enemies , with the punishment being death . This also , likely , put a strain on relations with the corporate sector as it was ' Neutral territory ' . Zaarin then went back to his research and soon his Beam weapon was completed and was loaded onto his starfighters . Palpatine assumed that Zaarin would serve the Empire well with these developments . Unfortunately Zaarin had other ideas . Meanwhile , Stele was then transferred to the Ottega system where Harkov ' s fleet had been discovered and Darth Vader was soon to personally oversee the operation on his " Star Destoryer " Garrett .
