Raid at Bakura The Raid at Bakura , also known as the First Battle of Bakura , occurred in 3 ABY when the Rebel Alliance discovered that a number of scientists captured from Hoth were being held aboard an Imperial detention center orbiting Bakura . Prelude . Having weathered the loss of the Battle of Hoth in 3 ABY , the Alliance to Restore the Republic set about rebuilding their infrastructure . The ace pilots of Rogue Squadron were sent to Bakura to rescue captured scientists . The battle . When the squadron arrived , three Imperial Dropship Transports were already exiting the prison facility with the scientists . Rogue Leader Wedge Antilles , in his B - wing starfighter , disabled a fleeing Imperial transport carrying a batch of scientists with his ion cannon . A GR - 75 medium transport docked with the Imperial ship and evacuated the prisoners . A number of TIE fighters were patrolling the area , and upon receiving a battle alert rushed towards the battle scene . After completing its docking , the first Rebel transport moved at top speed away from the battle to escape safely into hyperspace . Several TIEs gave chase , but Antilles drove them off . As that happened , a second rescue transport was inbound . Antilles then disabled another dropship transport to recover the prisoners . After the third dropship transport was disabled , a TIE Fighter disabled Derek Klivian ' s X - wing , sending him crashing onto the surface of the planet . Antilles docked with the prison to steal a TIE Bomber to pick him up , as the rescue craft required an accommodation for two . Antilles had to dodge the hundreds of Bakura surface heavy missile batteries littering the surface . Using his bomber ' s concussion missiles , he managed to break through the defenses and pickup Hobbie . Just before picking up Hobbie , Wedge picked up some advanced proton bomb s from one of the domed towers that he destroyed . Upon arrival back in orbit , Antilles noticed that debris littered the area . Crix Madine informed him that an Imperial escort carrier made off with a batch of scientists and destroyed one of the transports and several Rebel starfighters , and it seemed it was headed toward Geonosis due to its communication log . Aftermath . Determined to rescue the scientists , Rogue Squadron would lead an assault team to Geonosis . Likewise , Emperor Palpatine explains to Vader that the Rebels were still unaware of the scope of their plans , implying that the one responsible was one of their own . The Rebels eventually tracked the abductor to Geonosis via a transmission , and immediately departed to rescue the scientists . Unfortunately , the lead turned out to be a trap , forcing the other Rebel transports to evacuate without rescuing the scientists . Behind the scenes . The Raid at Bakura level in the 2003 video game " " was created largely to allow the player to make their own decisions , a method that likewise required script modulators to lessen the difficulty . The space station was based on a rough concept based on some sci - fi movies they saw , and was rendered to be more in - line with the " Star Wars " universe . Flying the TIE bomber in the mission is a mini - game unlocked upon reaching silver medal status . Destroying the missile launchers within a certain time limit is necessary to unlock the TIE Bomber as a flyable craft . Alternatively , if the player receives bronze level status , an FMV will play showing arrival of the Imperial Escort carrier and the re - capture of the scientists and the destruction of the Rebel Transport . It was largely created as a reward for the player for putting up with the difficulties of choosing their own path in the mission . This article assumes the full mission was achieved . Procuring the upgrade will fulfill the bonus objective for the mission .
