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 team of Limpet ships supported by Rogue Squadron to intercept the convoy.

Rogue Squadron took down the TIE escort, leaving the cargo ships all but defenseless. The Rebel operatives Able and Basso led a team of SpecForce Marines into the carriers 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 3 carriers were captured as well, and the Rebellion was victorious. The battle marked the first use of the Corellian-made Limpet ships.
