Attack on the Red Wind

The Attack on the Red Wind was a battle of the Galactic Civil War near Plooriod IV.
==Prelude==
The infamous EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate Red Wind had been located near Plooriod IV where it was experiencing a malfunction in its engines. The Imperial frigate and its commander had become notorious for committing a number of atrocities during their battles against the Rebel Alliance and several CR90 corvette crews urged an attack to seek out retribution.
==Attack==
Stranded above Plooriod IV, the frigate was protected by a minefield and was awaiting repairs from BFF-1 bulk freighters Onteba and Ramit. The assault run was made in three waves of three CR90 corvettes, Arrow, Hammer and Striker, while two A-wings from Red Squadron cleared the minefield and intercepted enemy starfighters.
==Aftermath==
After the destruction of the Red Wind, three Interdictor cruisers from Imperial Drydock IV joined the Outer Rim Imperial Fleet in preparation for an attack on the Rebels.
==Behind the scenes==
This event is portrayed in Operation 17 (Attack the Frigate Red Wind) of the Star Wars: X-Wing expansion, Imperial Pursuit.
