Assault on Garel

The **Assault on Garel** (also known as the **Battle of Garel**) was an attack-like battle from *Star Wars Rebels*. It deals with the Empire fighting the Rebels on their secret temporary base on the planet, Garel. The battle takes place in the Season 2 episode, "Legacy."

## History

### Background

It all started after the Assault on Seelos where the Rebels were given a list of possible base locations from Captain Rex for the Rebellion due to the Attack on Phoenix Squadron. Until the Rebellion could pick a vital location from the information to form a base, they were temporarily stationed secretly within Garel City on the planet, Garel which was an Imperial controlled planet not far from the planet, Lothal. The Rebellion used multiple docking ports to hide their ships and themselves so the Empire couldn't find them. The Crew of the Ghost would also go on Rebel missions for the Rebellion but during those missions, they would fight off against the Empire in the process. The Empire also sent two Inquisitors after them by orders of Darth Vader called the Fifth Brother and the Seventh Sister. However, after the Rebels foiled their last plan to kidnap Force-sensitive children, the Inquisitors learned about the Rebellion being on Garel through the Seventh Sister's Probe Droids which they reported back to the Empire. At first, Admiral Konstantine didn't believe it since Garel was under Imperial control until Agent Kallus arrived and confirmed it by showing Admiral Konstantine how the Rebels were using docking ports to hide their ships. As a result, Agent Kallus ordered Admiral Konstantine to deploy his fleet for Garel to find and destroy the Rebellion. Meanwhile, Ezra had a vision dream about his parents in an Imperial prison and wanted to go back to Lothal to rescue them but Kanan and Hera told him that they tried looking for his parents before but couldn't find them. Until Commander Sato gave them a list of Imperial prisoners and learned from it that there was a massive breakout last night. With help from Kanan, Ezra was able to use an old Jedi to find a prisoner on the list using the Force who knew something about his parents and was arrested on Lothal for treason who Ezra saw in his vision dream. Which made Ezra want to go back to Lothal to find that prisoner then Sabine arrived and told them all that the Imperial blockade surrounding Lothal had left which Ezra took as a sign to go with Kanan agreeing to go with him. But when they called Zeb and Chopper who were out getting some supplies about going back to Lothal, Zeb told them that they hadn't seen any Stormtroopers patrolling the Garel City. Sabine realized that it was because the Stormtroopers were all pulled back from the city because the Empire was about to launch a major attack.

### The Battle

Admiral Konstantine's whole Imperial fleet arrives on Garel and over Garel City which forces the Rebels to try and leave the planet immediately but Zeb and Chopper are still out in the city and later run into some Stormtroopers so Kanan and Ezra go to find them while Hera and Sabine try to warn Commander Sato and whole Rebellion to evacuate Garel. Ezra and Kanan manage to find Zeb and Chopper and help them fight off the Stormtroopers who were chasing them but then some more Stormtroopers led by Agent Kallus arrive and surround them but Ezra, Kanan, and Zeb are able to beat them all. But then the Fifth Brother and the Seventh Sister show up and taunt Ezra into fighting them but Kanan stops Ezra from doing it by sealing the door between them by shooting the control panel for it with his blaster then Ezra, Kanan, Zeb, and Chopper all leave for the Ghost to evacuate Garel. Meanwhile, Hera and Sabine are able to warn Commander Sato and the other Rebels about the Empire's attack on Garel so Commander Sato and Captain Rex prepare to evacuate Phoenix Squadron and escape the planet. Eventually, Ezra, Kanan, Zeb, and Chopper make it back to the Ghost, take off with Hera and Sabine, and fight off some TIE Fighters from the Imperial fleet but some Rebels ships get shot down by them. Then the new Rebel command ship gets caught in a tractor beam from Admiral Konstantine's Star Destroyer with Commander Sato and Captain Rex in it. So Hera decides to go save them with Sabine and Zeb on the Ghost while Ezra and Kanan leave for Lothal with Chopper on the Phantom. When the Ghost gets closer to Admiral Konstantine's Star Destroyer, Sabine gets an idea to take out the tracker beam on the Star Destroyer by using one of their torpedoes. But before Sabine can do it, the Ghost gets shot down by a TIE Fighter so Hera takes out the tracker beam by using the Ghost itself to hit it which also takes down the TIE Fighter that was chasing the Ghost in the process. This frees the Rebel command ship from Admiral Konstatine's Star Destroyer and allows the rest of Phoenix Squadron to escape from Garel City and Carel then into hyperspace with Hera, Sabine, and Zeb staying with Phoenix Squadron on the Ghost to make sure it's safe from the Empire.

### Aftermath

Afterwards, Kana and Ezra made it to Lothal and met the Imperial prison from Ezra's vision dream which was Lothal's former Governor, Ryder Azadi. Who told them about how he was imprisoned by the Empire for supporting Ezra's parents when they started sending out messages against the Empire to the people of Lothal which was why he was imprisoned by the Empire for treason. But Ryder also told them about how Ezra's parents were killed after they rallied up other Imperial prisoners who were Rebel synthesizers to fight back against the Empire after hearing the message Ezra sent across Lothal about him and the Crew of the Ghost rebelling against the Empire. Which caused the massive prison breakout that allowed Ryder to escape but Ezra's parents got left behind while trying to help everyone else. As a result of Garel being compromised, the Rebellion continued to search for a place to form a new base of operations then Princess Leia who was secretly an agent for the Rebellion helped them by sending them three new ships for them to use. During which, the Crew of the Ghost helped inspire Ryder to fight back against the Empire too who later formed his own Resistance group on Lothal. Then later with help from Chopper, the Rebellion was able to find the perfect place to start a new base on the planet, Atollon which would be known as Chopper Base. However, it would also be compromised as well later on at the Battle of Atollon by Grand Admiral Thrawn.
