The Assault on Gyndine Shipyards also known as the Battle of Gyndine Shipyards was a major and significant battle that erupted between The New Sith Empie and The Republic Alliance. When the Empire would launch an attack on the shipyards led by Darth Cognus, a Fleet of Rebel Ships were sent under the command of up incoming Rebel Squadron Commander Ajax. A battle would erupt around the shipyards and later after Rebel Reinforcements arrived, the Imperial Fleet would retreat, and the Shipyards and Planet would be free from Imperial Attacks for the rest of the war.

## **The Battle**

In 15ABY, The New Sith Empire would launch an attack on the Gyndine Shipyards in preparation of an invasion of the planet Gyndine, a Massive Imperial Fleet led by Darth Cognus would exit hyperspace near the Planet and soon began the attack launching Imperial and Sith Fighters and Interceptors that quickly began to engage with the Shipyard defenses and soon the Kuat Shipyards sent out a distress call. The Rebels would soon retrieve the distress call and Kenith and Rebel Command would assign New Rebel Squadron Commander Ajax who would gather 2 Rebel Fleets and soon they would jump to the planet. After exiting hyperspace not that far from the battle, Ajax ordered the 2nd Fleet to stand by and engage if the Imperial Fleet was gaining the upper hand in the battle. Soon Ajax's Personal Fleet would soon engage with the Imperial Forces and soon Rebel fighters and Interceptors would be engaging with Imperial Forces. As Fighter and Interceptors fought over the Shipyards, Rebel Ships began to launch squads of bombers towards the massive Super Star Destroyers but soon a 2nd Imperial Fleet exited hyperspace led by an Eclipse-class Star Destroyer. The Star Destroyer would unleash more Sith Interceptors that quickly began to overwhelm and destroy many Rebel Bombers, Ajax would then order the 2nd Fleet to come forward, as more Rebel Fighters and Interceptors began to engage the Sith and Imperial Fighters and Interceptors and sent out a message for Reinforcements. A New Rebel Fleet lead by the new K-wings would soon arrive and all 3 fleets would launch their new K-wings that would quickly overwhelm the Imperial Fighters and Interceptors. Squadrons of B-wings and Y-light winged Bombers would unleash their payloads on the Imperial Fleets destroying many Imperial Ships and even disabling the Eclipse-class Star Destroyer before unleashing fire on it decimating it. The Remaining Imperial Fleet soon fled back to Coruscant

## **Aftermath**

In the aftermath of the Battle, The Rebels would set up an outpost and bade on the moon of Gyndine and many months later, the company Kuat Driveyards would officially join the Alliance. The Planet Gyndine would maintain independence from the New Sith Empire and late joined the Alliance.
