Aturi Cluster

The Aturi Cluster was located in the Outer Rim Territories' Hook Nebula. At some point by the time shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the Alliance to Restore the Republic established formidable anti-atmospheric defenses there. As part of the Galactic Civil War's Hook Nebula campaign, the Qeimet fleet of the Galactic Empire launched an assault on the star cluster. During that engagement, the fleet's Scimitar assault wing, which was commanded by Captain Tomax Bren and utilized TIE/sa tactical bombers, used its recently developed Vertical Swoop tactic to great effect. The assault on the Aturi Cluster was subsequently mentioned in a compilation of Imperial documents made by Rebel historian Major Arhul Hextrophon for Alliance Supreme Commander Mon Mothma and other Rebel officers.
