PreludeEdit

Darcc, seeing the Wookiees as an obstacle to complete control of Kashyyyk, hired the Trandoshan slaver Pekt to round up the Wookiees for shipment to Kessel. The Government Tree and nearby Kepitenochan were quickly devastated. Thousands of Wookiees were captured or killed within the first few days. In desperation, Attichitcuk contacted his son Chewbacca, who was unable to convince the Rebel Alliance to send assistance.

Han Solo and Chewbacca, arriving on Kashyyyk, attacked several groups of Trandoshans and liberated a group of Wookiees that retook Kepitenochan, only to find the city heavily damaged and only one survivor: Weebacca. Together, they rebuilt the Government Tree and guarded it against multiple Imperial attacks. In doing so, the Wookiees reunited under the monument. However, they still could not contact the Alliance with signal jammers blocking their transmissions.

BattleEdit

SetbacksEdit

Betraying the Wookiee resistance, Weebacca told Solo and Chewbacca that the communications jammers were in Okikuti. Upon entering the city, they realized it was a trap, as Darcc's forces advanced on the Okikuti's gates while there was no exit. They cut through the trees to the nearby river and built sea ships to escape to Chenachochan. Destroying several Imperial sea frigates, they stole Imperial walkers from Tunnatutikan and met up with Shoran. Together, they destroyed the signal jammers and sent a transmission to the Rebel Alliance, which was received by Lando Calrissian.

LiberationEdit

Liberating the rest of Chenachochan, the Wookiees captured an Imperial airbase and gained the support of the Ittummi Berserkers. Darcc's palace was destroyed by the united Wookiee Army and traitor Weebacca was killed by Chewbacca. However, Darcc and Pekt escaped in a Lambda-class shuttle full of Wookiee prisoners.

Battle of the Avatar Orbital PlatformEdit

The Wookiees, led by Chewbacca and Solo, flew to the Avatar Orbital Platform and with the help of Rogue Squadron, Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian in the Millennium Falcon, they rescued Attichitcuk with the Wookiee captives, killed Moff Darcc and the Trandoshan slaver Pekt, and finally, blew the main reactor of the facility.

During that battle, a Rebel fleet under Admiral Ackbar and an Imperial fleet under Grand Admiral Peccati Syn squared off in orbit. Syn was killed when his ship was vaporized due to his underestimating Ackbar's tactics.
