Vader engagement drill

The Vader engagement drill, also known as the Anti-Vader drill,Star Wars (2015) 53 was a combat strategy developed by Rebel Alliance General Davits Draven in order to slow down the Sith Lord Darth Vader. It was created at some point after Draven studied Vader's attack on the Profundity during the Battle of Scarif. During the Battle of Mako-Ta in 1 ABY,Star Wars: Battles that Changed the Galaxy states that the Battle of Mako-Ta took place twenty years after the formation of the Galactic Empire, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 19 BBY. Therefore, the assault must have taken place in 1 ABY. Draven employed the Vader engagement drill whilst he and several other rebels, inclduing Princess Leia Organa infiltrated the Executor, the flagship of Vader, in order to secure override codes and bring rebel starships back online after they had been sabotaged by Queen Trios of Shu-Torun. Draven's deployment of the drill allowed for Organa to successfully escape the Executor with the codes at the cost of his own life and that of his troops.
