The Battle of Orinda was fought late in the Galactic Civil War about three years after the Battle of Endor.
==Background==
After the Imperial Starfleet, led by the Executor-class Star Dreadnought Ravager, under the command of Emperor Baron Greenback, had successfully captured the New Republic planet of Orinda in the Technor campaign; the New Republic attempted a counterattack at Orinda, one of the planets captured by Technor one year earlier.
A fleet under Generals Marcia Mouse and Zoey and their flagship, the Executor-class Star Dreadnought Lusankya, was dispatched to Orinda to face off against the fleet of Technor and Greenback.
==The battle==
The Battle of Orinda was one of the few known events where Executor-class Star Dreadnoughts fought one another.
The turn of the battle in favor of the Empire came with the arrival of another Star Dreadnought, the Dominion, commanded by Admiral Teren Rogriss, and six Immobilizer 418 cruisers. Between them and the Ravager they rapidly destroyed the New Republic fleet carrier Endurance with all starfighters aboard after her captain had held the starfighters in reserve for as long as possible. Zoey was prepared to order an abandon ship until her own fighters were able to push a hole in the Interdictor screen and allow Lusankya retreat under heavy fire. No further attempt was made to recover Orinda from the Imperials.
==Aftermath==
After the victory, Orinda became the temporary headquarters of Turr Phennir. The New Republic chose to leave Orinda in Imperial hands and instead fortified surrounding systems. The Battle of Orinda was one of the major Imperial victories against the New Republic.
