Battle of Vinzen Neela 5 The Battle of Vinzen Neela 5 was a battle fought during the Galactic Civil War at Vinzen Neela 5 . Prelude . With the Cargo Ferries " Sela " safely away , the next step was a rendezvoused between " Sela " and Escort Carrier " Hininbirg " for a transfer operation near Vinzen Neela 5 . Imperial fighters had the responsibility of sweeping for enemy craft while Carrier " Hininbirg " received TIE / D Defender prototypes from ferries " Sela " . Imperial Intelligence discovered Rebel plans to disrupt the transfer , sending Imperial starfighters ahead of the convoy to eliminate the Rebel threat . Agents of the Secret Order of the Emperor informed at least one pilot headed into battle that an apparent " leak " had surfaced from Grand Admiral Demetrius Zaarin ’ s research facility . The Order required additional information to pin down this leak , requesting inspection of Rebel starships for clues that might ascertain the leak . The battle . TIE Avengers from Alpha Squadron emerged from hyperspace , ahead of " Sela " and " Hininbirg " , to find Rebel CR90 corvettes " Mar Duun " and " Vop Hui " several kilometers off , laying a minefield . Rebel A - wing and Y - wing starfighters also occupied the system , rapidly attacked by the arriving TIE Avengers . Imperial starfighters attacked Y - wings from Blue Squadron first , attempting to eliminate the more ominous bomber craft . As opposing starfighters squared off , " Hininbirg " and " Sela " arrived for transfer operations . As expected , Rebel vessels had successfully deployed in a tactically perceptive position to assault Escort Carrier " Hininbirg " , having emerged among a minefield , moreover within range of the enemy corvette ' s cannons . Avengers Alpha diverted to rescue " Hininbirg " from assaulting Rebel starships , having destroyed the Y - wings Blue . Discovering only mines onboard , TIE Avengers destroyed corvette " Vop Hui " in a flurry of concussion missile and laser cannon fire , protecting " Hininbirg " from its assault . As Imperial starfighters proceeded to defend the " Hininbirg " , TIE Defender prototypes began ferrying from their cargo containers across to Carrier " Hininbirg " . T - 65 X - wing starfighter s from Red Squadron soon arrived to join the Rebel struggle , as Cargo Ferries " Sela " left the system , having completed their mission . Avengers Alpha destroyed the remaining Type A Mines and corvette " Mar Dun " before proceeding to attack incoming X - wing fighters . As Rebel fighters had successfully collapsed the shields of the " Hininbirg " , opposing Avengers battled against the clock ; Hininbirg had successfully loaded all TIE Defender prototypes , and now only awaited the jump to lightspeed . Rebel fighters managed to lightly damage the hull of Carrier " Hininbirg " before its jump to hyperspace , but soon met their demise at the hands of TIE pilot s . Aftermath . Emperor Palpatine considered Zaarin fortunate that the TIE Defenders were able to reach Coruscant safely and wanted to know why security was careless . Darth Vader claimed that Zaarin is investigating the matter and that he believed that the Rebels had a new weapon technology . The Secret Order began to analyse the data from the two corvettes that Stele scanned to find any lead on the mole . Behind the scenes . This battle is seen on " Star Wars : TIE Fighter " in Battle 6 mission 2 .
