The Battle of Cadinth is a short story written by Bill Smith. It was first published in Star Wars Galaxy #2 by Topps in Winter 1995. It takes place 6 ABY, and also features RPG stats for various droids and vehicles to use the story in a role-playing game. On February 23, 2007, the story was published on Hyperspace.
As Republic pilots dash to their Defenders, Imperial Sniper airspeeders begin flying down onto the battlefield. Several hundred AP-2, AP-3 and AP-1-C attack droids gun down the lightly defended Republic infantries, as the Imperial Snipers gain the same advantage in the air.
Republic LieutenantBrin Stiels contacts Republic Core Base for reinforcements, soon choking on smoke and collapsing. Just as a small group of AT-ATs appear on the horizon, the story inexplicably ends.
