Blockade on Chandrila The Blockade of Chandrila was an event during the Galactic Civil War . After the Rebel Alliance ' s raid on Fest , Moff Kohl Seerdon retaliated by attacking the Chandrila , a major part of the Alliance — coincidentally his homeworld , and also the homeworld of Mon Mothma . To prevent the loss of the spaceport at Nayli , the Alliance sent an armored hover train escorted by Rogue Squadron . The train carried supplies vital to the resistance forces within the city . Prelude . A Rebel special operations force , supported by the elite Rogue Squadron under the lead of Commander Luke Skywalker , raided the Imperial Moff Kohl Seerdon ' s Weapons Research Facility on the arctic world of Fest , and managed to steal a squad of three AT - PT transports before leaving . This enraged Seerdon . In retaliation for the destruction of the research facility and the theft of the AT - PTs , Seerdon invaded Chandrila , his own homeworld , as well as the homeworld of Alliance founder Mon Mothma , and blockaded the spaceport at Nayli . The blockade . TIE Bombers pounded the city ' s major structures . In order to get supplies to the city , Mon Mothma deployed the elite Rogue Squadron , led by Commander Luke Skywalker , to escort an armored hovertrain carrying valuable supplies into the city limits . Upon arrival in the city , Rogue group cleared the way for three Rebel evacuation shuttles , and upon landing were blasted by AT - ST walker fire . Rogue Squadron managed to stop the six AT - STs from destroying the shuttles and allowed the shuttles carrying the innocent civilians to leave the area . While attacking the AT - STs , Rogue Squadron proceeded to target a lone AT - ST standing guard near a shuttle landing area , retrieving advanced bombs from the wreckage . Then , three TIE Interceptors and three TIE bombers arrived to carry on the attack the previous wave had started . But they failed to do so , as Rogue Squadron returned to the city and picked them off before they could do any severe damage , saving the city . Aftermath . Moff Seerdon happened to be on - world during the battle , and took the opportunity to taunt his former subordinate , Kasan Moor over the comlink , nearly provoking her into attacking him . However , Commander Skywalker deemed it too risky to pursue Seerdon , and withheld his squadron from attacking . In retaliation for the attack on Chandrila , Rogue Squadron mounted an effort to destroy Seerdon ' s Capacitor on the volcanic planet Sullust . Seerdon used this temporary distraction as an opportunity to mount a massive attack on Thyferra , seizing the Rebellion ' s vital bacta supplies . After Seerdon was frustrated by the Rebel efforts , he led his forces into a blockade of the sector . Behind the scenes . The Blockade on Chandrila appears in the 1998 video game " " .
