The First Battle of ZA-13 was a battle fought during the Zaarin insurrection at the Imperial Facilty known as ZA-13.

ZA-13 was at the time manufacturing Hyperdrive units for Demetrius Zaarin's rogue Imperial forces. The then Vice Admiral Thrawn was instructed to capture the facility, as Zaarin's forces had destroyed a lot of the Empire's own manufacturing facilities.

The attack was led by Maarek Stele, who took 3 TIE/D Defender starfighters to sweep the area of enemy forces. The factory was fairly lightly defended, mostly by TIE Avengers, which Stele and his wingmen cut through easily. The factory itself remained neutral during the battle, due to the fact that the station's personnel were not all loyal to either Zaarin or the Empire.

Stele also disabled the various freighters and transports that were attempting to make off with the equipment. Imperial forces came in to take possession of the stolen goods, leaving the ships themselves to be finished off by Stele.

Stele was soon to return, leading the attack force in the Second Battle of ZA-13, which would result in the capture of the station itself.
