PreludeEdit

In 19 ABY, Iphigin was the site of a conference oragnized by the New Republic Chief of State, Ponc Gavrisom, to solve an Ishori–Diamal dispute. Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Luke Skywalker were present to conduct the negociations when the pirates arrived in the system.

This raid was part of the large destabilization campaign launched by Moff Disra against the New Republic. The Cavrilhu Pirates played a large role in his plan. He provided them with informations and the last of Mount Tantiss's clones while they attacked the New Republic ships.

The raidEdit

The attach began when the pitates sent a suspect Sarkan freighter in the sun-side of the planet, calling a Iphigini Customs red alert. Han Solo guessed it was a diversion and decided to intervene. As expected, a pirate fleet arrived soon after in the nightside and attacked two New Republic tansports. The Millennium Falcon and Luke's X-wing imediatly engaged them. While Luke attacked the Corsair fighters, Han and Chewbacca destroyed the powerful KDY a-4 ion cannon of a old Kaloth cruiser. After Skywalker had managed to destroy all the fighters, the remaining pirates forces escaped in hyperspace. One of the Corellian Gunships was considerably damaged by the two armed transports.

AftermathEdit

During the battle, the Jedi Master was profoundly affected when he felt the pirate crews were made of clones. He decided to investigate more about this. Han Solo later requested Talon Karrde to assist the Jedi in his search. Karrde sent Mara Jade to help Skywalker in his infiltration of the Cavrilhu base in the Kauron asteroid field.

Meanwhile, Admiral Gilad Pellaeon ordered Imperial Intelligence's Commander Dreyf an investigation to find possible relationships between pirates and high ranking Imperial officers.
