The **Battle of Endor** was the battle that began the events that marked the official end of the **Galactic Civil War**.

## **Summary**

The Battle of Endor was the raid that marked the destruction of the Galactic Empire's major political grasp over the galaxy proper. While they still maintained intense overarching control following the events of the battle on the Sanctuary Moon, most agree that this marked the beginning of the end of the Empire's control over the galaxy. This could be seen in the rebellion which involved the Liberation of Naboo, Tatooine, and the failed Coruscant Uprising. All of these events were due to the streaming of the destruction of the Death Star-2 and the Declaration of a New Republic on the New Republic Holonet. This caused a cascade of galactic uproar and defiance against the Empire which turned to generally overthrowing any Imperial Remnant from their planets via the use of either civic structure, vigilantism, or general rebellion.

## **Background**

Before the Battle, Darth Sidious had orchestrated a leaking of Imperial data which ensured that the Alliance knew of the location of the Death Star II and its alleged weaknesses (e.g. the shield relying on a surface station). Of which, Palpatine had placed Death Squadron in a neighboring system, and some Imperial intervention forces waiting on the surface of the forest planet. Willing to help - and not willing to cede his battle station to someone else - Moff Tiaan Jerjerrod decides to deceive the rebels instead of following the normal construction process: structural beams, surface structure, planet-killing super laser. Given the beams were done, and the surface was three-quarters of a way done, Jerjerrod rushed the super laser instead, finishing its construction before the Battle.

The rebels; unsuspecting of this trap had sent a team in around the same time as the intervention forces on the ground. To the aid of their droid friend C3-PO, the Rebels had befriended the main primitive residency of the moon, the Ewoks. There they spent time, though brief, learning their culture and bolstering relations. This is known to help them immensely once combat begins. The plan for the rebels was to send two teams: the first, was to land on Endor using a stolen Lambda-class shuttle and then take down the main shield outpost by disabling the shield array, leaving an opening for starfighters to strike the power supply of the DS-II. The second team (actual ocs): was tasked with entering the forest moon using a cloaked U-Wing then taking out a subsidiary power station bunker by infiltrating the bunker and blowing it up.

## **The Battle**

For the first team, we shall cite Wookiepedia...

The Rebels took the Emperor's bait, and a squad headed to Endor on board the captured shuttle *Tydirium*, stolen by Wedge Antilles on Prefsbelt IV. After using a stolen clearance code that, while outdated, the *Executor* cleared, Solo piloted the shuttle to the moon's surface. At that time, Luke had second thoughts about coming on the mission after sensing that Vader was on the *Executor*; he feared Vader would sense his presence through the Force and endanger the entire operation. Sure enough, Vader had indeed detected his son and ordered the ship to pass before reporting back to the Emperor. At the same time, Renegade Squadron also slipped past the planetary shield. Solo's team landed, with Renegade Squadron landing some ways away.

The next day, the Rebels, fully rendezvoused with each other, accompanied by a force of Ewok warriors, descended upon a secret entrance to the Imperial bunker. While planning how to infiltrate the bunker, one of the Ewoks, Paploo, in an attempt to create a diversion, snuck onto a nearby speeder bike and raced away into the forest, initially causing the Rebels some concern due to its high risk of exposing them. After most of the scout troopers guarding the entrance raced away in pursuit of the Ewok, Solo and the rest of the Rebels easily gained entrance to the bunker, including luring the remaining trooper towards the waiting task force and forcing him to surrender, and, after capturing the Imperials inside, set explosives. Their victory was short-lived, however, as they were soon ambushed by another contingent of Imperials led first by Colonel Dyer and, after General Solo shoved him beyond a railing to his death, by Lieutenant Renz, who led them out of the bunker, where they were met by hundreds of stormtroopers and AT-STs. With the hopes of the Rebel task force all but dashed, the concealed Ewok force surrounding the bunker clearing launched a furious ambush, stunning the Imperials who had already dismissed them as primitive natives. Meanwhile, Renegade Squadron heard over their comlinks that Solo was surrounded, and they rushed to his rescue. First, they liberated an Ewok village captured by stormtroopers. Finally, Renegade Squadron halted the repairs on an AT-AT that had been crippled by Solo's strike team earlier.

Hoping to take the upper hand, a pair of Ewoks, led by the Wookiee *Chewbacca*, captured Tempest Scout 2, one of the AT-ST walkers, throwing *Lieutenant* *Watts* out of the scout walker in the process, as well as knocking out Major Marquand.

The second team on the other hand maintained their objective, unbeknownst to the Imperial force ambush that was coming upon them within minutes' notice. They had infiltrated the planet using their U-Wing just moments before their approach to the bunker, having opted to not stay the night to separate their arrival times from the main infiltration team. This helped in preventing them from being detected. However - Imperial forces knew of the rebel strike and predicted through foresight that they'd also attempt to take out the power station. With that in mind, they had called for the armed attachments of the ISD Acklay to wait in an uncomfortably close garrison for a signal to besiege the people within their bunker. Briefing, everything felt like it collapsed. The rebels had lost their sense of surprise, and the Imperials had held all of them at gunpoint. What would they do...? To their rescue, herds of Ewoks rushed down upon the Imperials, countering their ambush with a grotesque sight of neurotoxins being flown everywhere.

Rebels had used this advantage to push down many objects, taking out their emergency attempts at reestablishing control. This was done by destroying any all and all starfighters that could aid in a retreat, and the destruction of an emergency communications relay. Seeing the approach of an enmassed rebel forces, most Imperials had retreated from the Comms station.

Imperial forces had been taken the sour defeat and retreated to rendezvous at a camp. There, they luckily picked up a shuttle to evacuate after a **monstrous** midnight hour of evading both Ewoks hunting them for food and a Gorax which was terrorized by the Ewoks and them.

## **Aftermath**

* Coruscant Uprising
* Uprising on Naboo
* Tatooine Rebellion
* Uprising on Cloud City
