Liberation of Lothal

The Liberation of Lothal, also known as the Battle of Lothal, was the final battle of the Lothal campaign between the Galactic Empire, a small coalition of rebels and a Loth-wolf pack during the early rebellion against the Galactic Empire that resulted in the liberation of the Outer Rim planet of Lothal and its people. While Rebel General Hera Syndulla and Clone Captain Rex traveled to Seelos to gather allies, Jedi Padawans Ezra Bridger and Mara Jade, other members of the Spectres rebel cell, Ryder Azadi, and the Lothal resistance group lured Governor Arihnda Pryce into a trap at their base. With the help of Syndulla's reinforcements and the Loth-wolf pack, the rebels successfully defeated the Imperial forces and captured Governor Pryce. 
As part of the next stage of their plan, the rebels had Pryce use her clearance codes to infiltrate the Imperial Dome in the capital and activated Protocol 13 to get the Imperial garrison aboard the mobile Imperial Planetary Occupation Facility. Before they could head for space, Grand Admiral Thrawn returned aboard the Chimaera, bombarded the capital, and threatened to reveal the location of Jade's safe haven to the Empire — forcing her and Bridger to meet Thrawn aboard the Chimaera.
During the confrontation between Thrawn and the Padawans, the rebels reactivated the Dome's deflector shield generators to protect Capital City. Aboard the Chimaera, a modified holographic projection of Emperor Palpatine attempted to persuade Bridger to open the portal to the World Between Worlds by offering to reunite him with his late parents — an offer Bridger refused, causing him to destroy the portion of the Lothal Jedi Temple aboard the Chimaera. Thrawn ordered the Chimaera's crew to resume the bombardment of the capital, but the rebels raised the deflector shield, killing his assassin and bodyguard Rukh in the process. 
Meanwhile, Clone Commander Wolffe, Hayden Belhol, Cikatro Vizago, and Captain Mart Mattin initiated Bridger's contingency and brought a large Purrgil pod that destroyed the Seventh Fleet. Bridger then used the Force to direct the Purrgil in bringing the Chimaera to the Unknown Regions. After Bridger's departure, the rebels launched the Dome into the atmosphere, and after escaping on the Ghost, detonated the explosives, killing the Imperial garrison and Pryce, who elected to remain with her forces. The destruction of the Dome marked the end of Imperial rule on Lothal.
