The Attack on Bannistar Station took place when the Rebel One accidentially ended up at Bannistar Station.
[edit] Background
After the Battle at Tingel Deepspace Besh the heavily damaged Rebel One jumped randomly through hyperspace, ending up at Bannistar Station. In stead of fleeing the Rebels decided to infiltrate and destroy the station.
[edit] The battle
When the Imperials discovered the Rebel One, they moved in to inspect. The Rebel One, however, overloaded its engines and exploded. Using the explosion as a distraction, a Rebel infiltration team made their way to Bannistar Station. Before they could sabotage the station, however, they were captured. One of the Rebels that had avoided capture continued on her mission. Shortly after she too was discovered and was forced to flee. She ended up high above a refueling Star Destroyer and dropped one of her detonators down the fuel line. The following explosion took out an entire section of the station. The captured Rebels used the ensueing chaos to free themselves and escape the station in a stolen shuttle. With the help of Dagger Squadron, sent by Admiral Ackbar, they made their way back to the Rebel Fleet.
