The **Battle of Atollon** broke out in 2 BBY between the Alliance to Restore the Republic, the Galactic Empire, and the Force-sensitive being known as Bendu on and above the surface of the planet Atollon during the Early rebellion against the Galactic Empire. Following the discovery of Chopper Base, the headquarters of Phoenix Cell, by Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn and Sith Lord Darth Vader, Thrawn's fleet blockaded Atollon, trapping both Phoenix Squadron and General Jan Dodonna's Massassi Group. Despite an attempt by Commander Jun Sato to ram *Phoenix Nest* into Captain Brunson's Interdictor vessel to enable a rebel retreat from the system, it instead crashed into the *Executor* — Vader's flagship — as it suddenly emerged from hyperspace. Thrawn's and Vader's forces proceeded to inflict heavy casualties on the rebel forces, and intercepted the *Stinger Mantis* in its attempt to escape undetected through Nightsister magick, forcing the rebels to retreat to the surface of the planet.

During the second phase, Thrawn and Vader led the First Legion in a ground assault, after an orbital bombardment in an attempt to eradicate the remaining rebel forces. However, Jedi apprentice Mara Jade — who was apparently informed of the Battle by her father Jarik Shan — succeeded in enlisting help from Kira Sohl, Sabine Wren, Fenn Rau and several members of Clans Wren and Ordo in destroying Thrawn’s two interdictor cruisers. Despite Thrawn and Vader storming Chopper Base, Captain Hera Syndulla, Lieutenant Commander Ezra Bridger, and General Dodonna managed to escape with the surviving vessels of the rebel fleet into hyperspace.

The rebels, and Imperials alike, were attacked by an angry Bendu, an enigmatic being who used his powers of the Force to devastate Chopper Base before being subdued by Thrawn and Vader. The surviving rebel forces led by Syndulla and Dodanna fled to Yavin 4 while Bridger took his Jedi master Kanan Jarrus, Jedi survivor Cal Kestis and the Nightsister Merrin to Mandalore and assist Wren with a mission to rescue her father.
