[edit] The battle

Alliance Commander Narra and his droid K-3PO devised an ingeniously simple tactic to defeat Imperial forces. The Rebel fighters exploited the fact that these ships had to get close to the battle to deploy their TIE/ln starfighter squadrons, thus making them vulnerable. The Alliance starfighters ganged up on the larger, slower ships, and subsequently destroyed them.

[edit] Aftermath

This defeat led to the development of Escort Carriers.
