The Mission in the Naboo Canyon was a nighttime mission led by Rhys Dallows, a member of Bravo Squadron. He and his allies had just attacked a Trade Federation convoy in orbit and captured supplies for the resistance. His goal was now to bring the supplies to the resistance. He was escorting Reti, who was carrying the supplies. He set up a rendezvous with other Naboo forces, but when they failed to show up, he deduced they were in trouble and needed to fly through the Naboo canyons to the resistance base. He reassured Reti he had flown those canyons before.

[edit] Into the Canyon

Almost immediately, Dallows and Reti came under fire from Trade Federation patrols looking for the base, but they kept on flying through the canyon. At the first clearing, Dallows destroyed a dropship attempting to land more droids. He wiped out the tanks and troop transports which had already landed, and he and Reti continued through the canyon. At the second clearing, he destroyed another dropship and more droids. He then led Reti into the canyon, warning the canyon was going to get narrower. This is where the Federation stationed Turret Mines. With Reti begging for Rhys to stay close and protect him Rhys destroyed the mines, clearing the way.

[edit] Meeting the Resistance

After the mines, the two pilots flew into the third clearing and met with the Resistance, flying their N-1 Starfighters against Scarab starfighters and AMTs. Rhys helped destroy the opposition, and received a distress call from the base further down the canyon, which was under heavy droid attack. The Resistance turrets were firing at troop transports and tanks when Dallows and the other pilots arrived, and their combined firepower quickly wiped out the attacking force. Reti arrived and delivered the much-needed supplies, and the two vowed to help the resistance. They would soon have the opportunity.
