Skirmish near Circarpous IV

A skirmish occurred near Circarpous IV during the Galactic Civil War in 1 BBY, between the T-65 X-wing starfighters of the Rebel Alliance's Red Squadron and the Imperial TIE/LN starfighters performing barrier defense.
==The skirmish==
In 1 BBY, a three-pilot Rebel flight group from Red Squadron launched a feint into the Circaprous system to probe the system's Imperial defenses. Near Circarpous IV, three groups of three TIE/LN starfighter pilots from Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Squadrons engaged the Rebel pilots. Despite being outnumbered three-to-one, the T-65 X-wing starfighter pilots destroyed all nine TIEs with no losses of their own.
==Aftermath==
The Rebels' success in the face of unfavourable odds left an impression on the people of the Circarpous system.
The engagement was later simulated as a training mission by the Rebel Alliance, intended to teach prospective pilots how to face a numerically superior enemy. Agamarian Rebel Keyan Farlander was assigned to the simulation by training officer Wex Dafid prior to Farlander's recruitment into the Alliance flagship Independence Red Squadron.
==Behind the scenes==
The battle first appeared in the 1993 video game Star Wars: X-Wing as the fourth X-wing historical mission, "Beat The Odds."
