Danaan tactics

Danaan tactics were a type of defensive tactic employed during space warfare. At the Battle of Atollon in 2 BBY during the Galactic Civil War between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire, Alliance Commander Jun Sato made use of a Danaan tactic in his command of Phoenix Cell's fleet against the Empire's Seventh Fleet. Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn recognized Sato's use of it, and while calling it bold, he admitted to expecting such a method from his opponent. Thrawn responded to the tactic by ordering his own fleet's center be reinforced and deploying starfighters.

The name Danaan tactics is in reference to the Danaans, a name for the ancient Greeks in both the Iliad and the Odyssey.
