In 0 BBY,[2] during the Galactic Civil War, an attack was launched against the Galactic Empire's listening outpost at the Citadel on the Outer Rim planet Rhen Var. The Rebel Alliance sent a team of soldiers which overran the facility's garrison. The team captured the listening post[1] which was able to track fleet movements.[3] The Imperial Military counter-attacked a few days later. The follow-up strike resulted in the destruction of the outpost.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The attack was mentioned in 2009's The Essential Atlas, which was written by Daniel Wallace and Jason Fry.[1] There is a discrepancy surrounding the outpost. The 2004 video game Star Wars: Battlefront features the follow-up battle, and although the game says the Imperial forces were defending the outpost,[3] The Essential Atlas says that the outpost had been captured by the Rebels before it was destroyed in the Imperial attack.[1]
