The Battle of the Tampion was a short-lived engagement between the forces of the New Republic and those of the Yevethan Duskhan League.

[edit] Background

Commodore Han Solo was being brought to the Fifth Fleet to take command. Solo was on the shuttle Tampion with Captain Sreas and Lieutenant Barth as crew. The shuttle was escorted by 8 recon-Xs.

[edit] The battle

En route to the New Republic fleet, a Yevetha fleet appeared, used ion blasts on the escorts and kidnapped Commodore Solo and the crew of the shuttle. During the boarding, Captain Sreas was killed by a blaster shot.

The fleet left the escorts so they would know their failure and tell the New Republic that Han Solo had been captured.

[edit] Aftermath

Solo and Barth were than taken to N'zoth as prisoners. Later, Nil Sparr killed Barth, finding him weak, and had Han brought to the Pride of Yevetha.
