Operation Midnight Freedom

Operation Midnight Freedom was the codename for a battle during the Cold War between the forces of the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, which took place over the planet of Fondor. A group of fleeing Republic soldiers and colonists were fleeing imperial custody in the Fondor system. Attacked by the Empire, the survivors managed to escape in a small shuttle. An Imperial fleet was called in to destroy the shuttle in order to cover up the Empire's aggressive actions against the planet's populace, which were in violation of the Treaty of Coruscant. Calling for aid from the Republic, the conflict was resolved when members of the Coruscant Aegis arrived, protecting the shuttle until its escape to hyperspace.

Bonus missions are available to destroy 25 Imperial fighters, the 20 turrets of the Terminus starship, and a final mission to destroy the command point of the Harrower ship. Operation Midnight Freedom is the Republic counterpart of the Empire space mission Operation Silent Roar, which takes place above the planet Jabiim.
