Battle of Orgon Prime

The Battle of Orgon Prime, also known as the Siege of Orgon Prime or the attack on Orgon Prime, was a battle that took place in 1 BBY on the planet Orgon Prime between the Galactic Empire and nascent Alliance to Restore the Republic. It began when Fleet Admiral Erend Kane discovered the location of Phantom Base, the headquarters of the Phantom Cell, on the moon Merdona. In order to draw out the rebels, Kane established an occupation of Orgon Prime while the 2nd Fleet blockaded the world. Responding to Chieftain Rafik's plea for help, the rebels arrived to liberate the Gavi species and their homeworld. Initially, Kane's fleet inflicted heavy casualties on the Phantom Cell, causing a stalemate in the battle. However, General Jan Dodonna and the Massassi Group arrived to help the Phantom Cell break through the blockade. With the Imperial fleet preoccupied, rebel leadership was able to launch a ground assault.
Upon their arrival, the rebels rushed to help the Gavi, only to find that they were being decimated by Kane's forces. After realizing that the battle was a trap, Jedi Master Del Morrigan, Jedi Knight Kenan Verso and General Dodonna ordered the remaining rebel forces to evacuate. As the Phantom Cell returned to Merdona, Dodonna and the Massassi Group covered their escape and prepared to help them evacuate Phantom Base. Once they escaped the onslaught, Morrigan and Verso contacted Rafik, promising to return and liberate his people when they received support from Alliance High Command.
==Prelude==
In 5 BBY, the Phantom Cell discovered the moon Merdona after escaping a skirmish with the Inquisitorius on Batuu. The rebels established a base called Phantom Base in the Red Plains of Merdona to serve as their new home. After the Siege of Milano, Fleet Admiral Erend Kane was tasked with locating and dismantling the Phantom Cell. Suspecting that the rebels were based somewhere in the Outer Rim Territories, Kane sent out swarms of Imperial probe droids and IGV-55 surveillance vessels to further his search. With Kane's efforts, he received intel regarding the rebels last being seen in the Centauri sector. Kane ordered all his recon support to travel to the Centauri sector and search for the rebels, who he believed were most likely held up there.
While on patrol, a few probe droids traced the rebels to Merdona, then reported back to Kane. He then turned his attention to the planet Orgon Prime, which Merdona was in orbit of. After educating himself on the culture of the native Gavi species, Kane orchestrated a plan to attack the Gavi and draw the rebels out of hiding. Kane later let Admiral Reece Fagen in on his plan and told him to dispatch the 2nd Fleet to Orgon Prime.
