Action at Mustafar

The Action at Mustafar was a naval engagement four years before the Battle of Yavin, when the Spectres rebel cell staged a mission to rescue their co-leader, Jedi survivor Kanan Jarrus, who had been captured during a mission to infiltrate the Imperial Communications Center at Jalath. With help of the Devaronian crime lord Cikarto Vizago, the rebels sent Chopper to infiltrate an Arquitens-class command cruiser in order to locate Jarrus' whereabouts — which was discovered to be aboard one of Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin's flagships, the Sovereign, on its journey to the Mustafar system.
Using a stolen Gozanti-class cruiser and with the assistance of Rebel Intelligence operative Mara Jade, the rebels managed to infiltrate the Sovereign and activated detonators to unleash a massive electro-magnetic pulse that disabled the Star Destroyer, which enabled Jarrus' apprentice Ezra Bridger to free his Master, with the assistance of Jade's father Jedi Knight Jarik Shan, who had similarly infiltrated the Star Destroyer. During the escape, Jarrus defeated the Grand Inquisitor in a duel, which damaged the Sovereign's reactor core and ignited a chain reaction that destroyed Governor Tarkin’s ship.
The Spectres and their allies managed to escape the stricken vessel before it exploded. Immediately pursued by TIE fighters, several rebel ships from the Phoenix Cell arrived and rescued the rebels, before jumping to hyperspace. After Jarrus' rescue, the rebels met former Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano and learned they were part of a greater Rebellion.
