Operation Bright Star

Operation Bright Star was one of the small operations that were led by Luke Skywalker against the increasing activity of the Galactic Empire, in 1 ABY. After the Battle of Yavin, during the Galactic Civil War, the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance struggled for the control of several cities in the galaxy. During periods of Rebel occupation of the cities of Anchorhead, Coronet City or Theed, Luke Skywalker landed in these three cities aboard his shuttle Narrow Margin. Accompanied by a group of Rebel commandos, the young man attempted to rally support for the Alliance cause and recruit troops for dangerous missions against the Empire. Skywalker recruited a skillful group of the Alliance Special Forces to hunt down the Special Forces of the Empire. The spacers subsequently traveled in the galaxy and killed ten members of the Imperial Special Forces. The successful Rebel spacers were later assigned to Operation Shining Justice.
==Behind the scenes==
Operation Bright Star appeared as a quest in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts, prior to its closure on December 15, 2011. The quest was added to the game with the "Publish 19," on June 29, 2005.
During periods of Rebel occupation of the cities of Anchorhead, Coronet or Theed, Luke Skywalker would periodically land in these cities. Skywalker would offer players of the Rebel faction up to eight different quests, half of which were designated as "Combatant" quests (to be carried out against Imperial non-player characters), and the other half of which were designated as "Special Forces" quests (to be carried out against Imperial-aligned players). Operation Bright Star was the second of the four Rebel Special Forces missions that players received from Luke Skywalker.
