Battle of Yaga Minor ( Galactic Civil War ) A battle at Yaga Minor was fought in 19 ABY between New Republic forces under General Garm Bel Iblis and the forces of the Imperial Remnant loyal to Moff Disra . Together with the Battle of Bothawui which was fought at the same time , it marked the end of major combat operations in the Galactic Civil War . Prelude . The Republic in crisis . The New Republic , despite being on the verge of victory over what remained of the Galactic Empire , was in a state of turmoil due to two crises . The first was the apparent resurrection of Grand Admiral Thrawn , who Disra had hired the con - artist Flim to impersonate . The second was the discovery of the Caamas Document in the ruins of the Imperial storehouse of Mount Tantiss on Wayland , leading to anti - Bothan tensions which were expertly manipulated under the direction of the third member of Disra ' s triumvirate , Major Grodin Tierce . These tensions threatened to pull the New Republic into civil war . In order to protect Bothawui from possible attack from anti - Bothan forces , General Bel Iblis ' s task force , led by his flagship " Peregrine " , was supposedly sent to the nearby Kothlis system . However , Bel Iblis ' forces actually gathered on a different mission which the New Republic hoped would end the crisis . The plan was to seize a copy of the Caamas Document from the Ubiqtorate base orbiting Yaga Minor , thus hopefully allowing the New Republic to discover exactly which Bothans were to blame for the destruction of Caamas . Bel Iblis ' plan . For the raid on Yaga Minor , the New Republic enlisted the aid of the smuggler Booster Terrik . Terrik ' s vessel , the " Imperial " - class Star Destroyer " Errant Venture " , was parked in the outer Mrisst system . Bel Iblis , together with two hundred New Republic personnel to partially refit the vessel and supplement the crew , took control of the vessel , leaving Terrik in the captain ' s chair . A small task force of New Republic capital ships , led by the " Peregrine " under Captain Tre - na , also gathered in the Mrisst system . Rogue Squadron , under the command of Wedge Antilles , was also part of the task force . Bel Iblis ' plan was for the " Errant Venture " to impersonate an Imperial vessel on the run from a New Republic task force . This task force , led by the " Peregrine " , would jump out of hyperspace soon after , engaging the base ' s perimeter defenses . While the Imperials were distracted , a slicer team would be sent in to the orbiting Ubiqtorate station to download the Caamas Document . If the deception was uncovered , the " Errant Venture " would try to hold off the Imperial forces just long enough to transmit a copy of the document to the New Republic forces in the perimeter and surrender . The battle . The raid begins . Bel Iblis chose to have the " Errant Venture " impersonate the " Tyrannic " , a vessel which had been sent to the Both system under Disra , Flim , and Tierce ' s direct orders . Since the Imperial triumvirate was in system on board the " Imperial I " - class " Relentless " , Bel Iblis ' ruse was immediately discovered . Flim , presumably on advice from Tierce , identified the " Errant Venture " as a ship under Bel Iblis ' command , and ordered the vessel caught in the tractor beams projected by the Ubiqtorate base and its defense perimeter . Furthermore , a group of Immobilizer 418 cruisers soon arrived to trap the rest of the New Republic task force in interdiction fields . This quick reaction impressed Karoly D ' ulin and Paloma D ' asima , two members of the Mistryl Shadow Guard who were on board the " Relentless " to discuss the possibility of working with the Imperial Remnant . Bel Iblis correctly surmised that the Imperials wanted to capture the " Errant Venture " and use its crew as valuable hostage . Accepting the probability of being killed , he ordered the " Errant Venture " to destroy the tractor beam emplacements holding it , and then to ram the " Relentless " in order to disable it long enough for a slicer team to get inside the Ubiqtorate base . His hope was that the slicers would be able to hold out long enough to transmit the Caamas Document , and that at least some of the diversionary task force would be able to escape . The Triumvirate exposed . At this point , Talon Karrde ' s smuggling vessel , the " Wild Karrde " , arrived from hyperspace . Karrde had recently returned from his own mission to the Kathol sector , where he and the former Mistryl Shada D ' ukal had attempted to recover a copy of the Caamas Document from former smuggler kingpin Jorj Car ' das . Though Car ' das did not have a copy , he did provide Karrde with records exposing Flim as a con - artist and Tierce as a flawed clone . After giving this information to Admiral Gilad Pellaeon , Pellaeon accompanied Karrde to Yaga Minor to confront Disra . As the New Republic fighters tried to go in and assist the " Errant Venture " , Talon Karrde convinced Wedge Antilles to allow the " Wild Karrde " through the New Republic lines to dock with the " Relentless " . There , Pellaeon and Karrde confronted Disra , Flim , and Tierce . Tierce attempted to escape , attacking the two Mistryl observers . Shada D ' ukal saved their lives by killing Tierce . Flim , relieved to end his charade , gave the Imperial forces the command to stand down , and turned command over to Pellaeon . Paloma D ' asima decided that since Shada D ' ukal had saved her life and helped to stop a disastrous alliance between Emberlene and the Imperial Remnant , she could honorably end her association with the Mistryl . Admiral Pellaeon and General Bel Iblis went on to discuss peace between the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant . Aftermath . The raid on Yaga Minor and Talon Karrde ' s mission to the Kathol Sector were not the only New Republic attempts to gain a copy of the Caamas Document . Soon after Bel Iblis left on his mission , Han Solo and Lando Calrissian were returned from a covert mission to the Imperial capital world Bastion . Unknown to Bel Iblis , the slicer Zakarisz Ghent was on board the Yaga Minor base during the battle , having infiltrated it with help from Admiral Pellaeon after Pellaeon ' s secret peace negotiations with Elegos A ' Kla and Leia Organa Solo , and could have died had Bel Iblis been successful . Both the Bastion and Yaga Minor copies had been secretly altered under Disra and Tierce ' s orders , and would turn out to be useless to the New Republic . However , Luke Skywalker , Mara Jade , and R2 - D2 ' s raid on the Hand of Thrawn fortress on Nirauan would recover an unaltered copy .
