The Second Battle of Tatooine was a conflict between the Galactic Empire and smugglers in service of the Rebel Alliance in the Dead Bantha Gulch and ended in a loss of all imperial troops.
History
Edit
After the Battle of Yavin the Alliance suffered under a deficit of Blaster weapons and ammunition, so Platt Okeefe was sent out to smuggle a loading. To finish that deal together with her partner Tru'eb Cholakk they arranged a meeting on Tatooine but Okeefe was tracked by the imperial officer Birket, who tried to create a setup for Okeefe with abducting the Twi'lek Cholakk and using him as a decoy.
After the imperial troops waited secretly and the incoming Last Chance has landed near the rendezvouz point Okeefe entered the Luudrian Star and got into the trap. Birket and his troops took Cholakk as a hostage. While beeing arrested, Darrik managed to confuse the Major by taking control of the ship. Therefore they could free themselves, but were challenged with an AT-ST walker and some stormtroopers awaiting. Just in time both could start their ships and fight the ambushing imperial forces. With the surprising moment on their side, because the imperial troops did not have planned it like this, they were able to destroy the walker and kill all troopers based on the strength of the ship's weaponry.
After they succeeded over the imperials, they had to hurry with the exchange of the goods, because they were unsafe of imperial reinforcements. Finally Platt Okeefe delivered Birket to the Rebels instead selling him into slavery. The Rebels were able to start organizing new operations thanks to new equipment.
