This raid on Imperial territory on Balmorra took place around 1 ABY. Imperial defector Kasan Moor supplied the Rebel Alliance with information on Imperial factories on the planet. Piloting T-47 airspeeders, Luke Skywalker and Rogue Squadron infiltrated the facility by destroying security radar dishes. Being a surprise attack, the battle was unorganized for the Galactic Empire. TIE Fighters were destroyed before they could take off, and Lambda-class shuttles exploded during lift-off. The Empire couldn't launch a strong defense force. By the end of the raid, the Empire had lost an AT-AT factory and an AT-ST factory.
