The Battle of Per Lupelo was a shipping raid during the Galactic Civil War which took place about nine months after the Battle of Yavin.

A crime organization on the planet Per Lupelo had learned of an Imperial cargo convoy passing close by and were preparing to hijack it. However, a spy within the syndicate tipped off the Rebel Alliance, which sent a group of Limpet ships supported by Rogue Squadron to intercept the convoy. This marked the first use of the Limpet ships.

Rogue Squadron eliminated the TIE escort, leaving the cargo ships all but defenseless. The Rebel operatives Able and Basso led a team of SpecForce Marines into one of the cargo ships, using the Limpet's connect-and-slice arms. The boarders captured the ship's crew and gained its cargo for the Rebellion.

Soon, the other three cargo ships were captured as well, and the Alliance was victorious.
