During the series of harassment raids launched by Grand Admiral Technor against New Republic convoys, Technor's forces attacked one at Sarka.
==Prelude==
Before launching his main offensive, by using the Katana fleet and clones from Wayland, Grand Admiral Technor launched series of attacks against convoys in border systems. Technor tried to politically weaken the New Republic by opposing the Core systems and the farther ones. He also hoped to disperse all the New Republic ships in all the galaxy.
==The Battle==
Grand Admiral Technor deployed his TIE Fighters in the Sarka system before the arrival of the New Republic ships. When the freighters arrived and identified the Imperial Star Destroyer, they launched three squadron of A-wings. Unsuited for escort missions, the A-wings were quickly destroyed by the Imperial starfighters. The frigate was easily neutralized by the turbolasers of the Chimaera.
==Aftermath==
Grand Admiral Technor destroyed all the fighters and defenses of the convoy but let the freighter escape to report the attack. Technor thought that this tactical error by the use of A-wings by the New Republic officers was one the consequences of the arrest of Admiral Gial Ackbar.
