Raid above Ghorman

A raid above Ghorman against an Imperial supply convoy by the Rebel Alliance occurred early in the Galactic Civil War, delaying the expansion of an Imperial base in the system.
==Prelude==
Early in the Galactic Civil War, the Galactic Empire was in the process of expanding a base on the planet Ghorman, with a supply convoy of Imperial BFF-1 bulk freighters, Century 1, 2, and 3, carrying the necessary supplies.
==The raid==
A Rebel Alliance strike force, composed of a BTL Y-wing starfighter and a modified R-22 Spearhead starfighter from Red Squadron, attacked the freighters, finding them in a rendezvous with an escort of two TIE/LN starfighters each from Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta Squadrons in the Ghorman system. The Y-wing pilot, using the call sign Red One, attacked the freighter convoy, while "Red Two" engaged the TIE escort in the R-22 Spearhead.
==Aftermath==
Red Team's attack was a success, delaying the Ghorman base's expansion by a year.
The engagement was later simulated as a training mission by the Rebel Alliance, intended to teach prospective Spearhead pilots to escort and support Y-wings. Agamarian Rebel Keyan Farlander was assigned to the simulation by training officer Wex Dafid prior to Farlander's recruitment into the Alliance flagship Independence Red Squadron.
==Behind the scenes==
The battle first appeared in the 1993 video game Star Wars: X-Wing as the fourth A-wing historical mission, "Attack Run on Freighters."
While X-Wing identifies the player's craft during this mission as an A-wing, Jan Dodonna's entry in The New Essential Guide to Characters retcons appearances of the A-wing prior to the Battle of Yavin to be modified R-22 Spearheads.
