BackgrundEdit

Early in the Galactic Civil War, the Rebel bases in the Kwymar sector came under attack by the Imperial forces in a campaign known as the Kwymar Suppressions. Doniphon was one of those planets attacked.[1]

The battleEdit

Battle of Doniphon
X-wings attacked the stormtroopers.

During the battle, many stormtroopers were strafed by Rebel starfighters. One of the injured officers was Sergeant Major Beilert Valance.[5] His platoon was struck by a proton torpedo.[8] Despite those heavy causalities[5], The Imperial forces were eventually victorious.[6]

AftermathEdit

After the battle, a badly wounded Beilert Valance was left at Anglebay Station on Telos IV. The medics there saved his life, but only by replacing half of his body with cybernetics.[5]

Years later, Beilert Valance, now turned bounty hunter, attacked and destroyed the Anglebay Station in order to erase all traces of his transformation.[5]

Behind the scenesEdit

The planet where Valance was injured in Star Wars 16: The Hunter was retconed as Doniphon by author Jason Fry in the miniature scenarios The Hunt Within: Valance's Tale. Fry named the planet after Tom Doniphon, John Wayne's character in the 1962 western movie The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.
