"Y-wing pilots bragged of their great victory at the First Battle of Ord Biniir. Of the Second Battle of Ord Biniir, they say little. Perhaps it is because few of them survived to brag. Then again, perhaps they knew that battle was insignificant."
Soontir Fel[src]

The Second Battle of Ord Biniir was a battle in the Galactic Civil War. Several weeks earlier, the Rebel Alliance's Y-wings managed to defeat the 223rd Imperial Fighter Group and take the planet Ord Biniir from Imperial control.

Shortly afterward, on the very day of the Battle of Yavin, the 181st Imperial Fighter Group managed to destroy the Alliance forces over Ord Biniir and retake the planet.
