Raid at the Wretch of Tayron The raid at the Wretch of Tayron was a battle waged by the Pathfinders , an elite force within the Alliance to Restore the Republic , against an Imperial Security Bureau black site at the Wretch of Tayron . As the operation commenced , two of the Pathfinders , Sergeant Kes Dameron and Sakas , shot down an All Terrain Scout Transport , the downing of which caused a breach in the facility ' s wall and allowed General Han Solo and his Pathfinders to enter the base . Once inside , they secured the surrender of the base ' s commander and used the protocol droid C - 3PO to hack into Imperial intelligence files . The files revealed that the Empire had begun executing , a posthumous order from the Emperor commanding Imperial forces to devastate several worlds as retribution for his demise . The Alliance took the intelligence they gained and fought back against Operation : Cinder on countless worlds , including the Emperor ' s homeworld of Naboo . Intelligence gathered from the raid also allowed Commander Luke Skywalker and Lieutenant Shara Bey to gain the clearance codes necessary to recover the last - remaining fragments of a Force - sensitive tree that once dwelled at the heart of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant . Prelude . Four years after the Battle of Yavin , during the Galactic Civil War , the Alliance to Restore the Republic launched the Battle of Endor in a successful attempt to destroy the Galactic Empire ' s second Death Star . The attack resulted in the death of the Emperor , Darth Sidious . After his death , Imperial commander s were given a posthumous contingency order to launch , a campaign designed to render countless worlds uninhabitable in the event of the Emperor ' s death . One such world was Naboo , the Emperor ' s homeworld , which the Empire assaulted twenty days after the Battle of Endor . The attack was carried out with over a dozen satellite s designed to disrupt and destroy the planet ' s climate . The raid . While the Empire attacked Naboo , an Alliance Special Forces team known as the Pathfinders , under the command of General Han Solo , prepared for an unrelated raid on an Imperial Security Bureau black site at the Wretch of Tayron in the Outer Rim Territories . Before the assault began , Pathfinders such as Sergeant Kes Dameron and Sakas carried out reconnaissance while overlooking the base . While spy ing on the base , Solo commanded all of his strike teams to report in with their status . All teams reported that they were ready to begin , and , on Solo ' s order , they fired rockets at the base . The attack took out many stormtrooper s and an All Terrain Scout Transport , leaving Imperial forces scrambling once they realized they were under attack . The initial attack allowed the Pathfinders to gain entry to the base , after the AT - ST crashed and caused a breach on the southeast side of the facility . The Pathfinders fought their way in and eliminated several stormtroopers , scout trooper s and a 74 - Z speeder bike before finally securing the exterior . Solo soon arrived and asked where C - 3PO , a Rebel protocol droid , had gone , as Threepio was critical to hacking into the Imperial computer s to gain new intelligence . Chewbacca , Solo ' s Wookiee companion , found the droid , and the group entered the base . Once inside the base , the Rebels fought against the Imperial stormtroopers stationed there . The base ' s commander attempted to flee to the base ' s computers so he could wipe their data before the Pathfinders could get to it , but the Rebel team confronted him first and he offered his surrender . The Rebels soon secured the base and Threepio was able to break Imperial encryption codes to access the computers . In doing so , he uncovered information about Operation : Cinder , including how it was attacking Naboo . Aftermath . The Rebels used the intelligence about Operation : Cinder to send a fleet to Naboo , where three N - 1 starfighter s , piloted by Lieutenant Shara Bey , Prince ss Leia Organa , and Queen Sosha Soruna , were already in the process of destroying the satellites . The Rebel fleet , commanded by General Lando Calrissian , fought against the " Imperial II " - class Star Destroyer and the dozens of TIE / ln space superiority starfighter s that were attempting to stop the N - 1 starfighters . The combat operations were successful ; the satellites were destroyed , Naboo was saved from Operation : Cinder , and the three pilots all survived . Over the next several months , the Rebellion continued to fight back against Operation : Cinder , saving countless worlds from Imperial retribution . Three months after the raid at the Wretch of Tayron , Commander Luke Skywalker , a Jedi Knight , recruited Lieutenant Bay for a mission to the planet Vetine in order to retrieve the two remaining fragments of a Force - sensitive tree that the Emperor had stolen from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant many years prior . Bey posed as Commander Alecia Beck of the Imperial Security Bureau , using the commander ' s clearance codes that were obtained at the Wretch of Tayron . Although the commander of the base on Vetine , Commandant Hurron , knew that Bey was not actually Commander Beck , Bey and Skywalker were able to retrieve the tree fragments and escape Vetine . Behind the scenes . The raid at the Wretch of Tayron was depicted in the 2015 comic book " Shattered Empire , Part III " , written by Greg Rucka . It was again referenced in the fourth and final issue of the series , " Shattered Empire , Part IV " .
