Battle of Akuria II

The Battle of Akuria II was a conflict between the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic, along with their Akurian resistance fighters, that occurred on Akuria II in 1 ABY. The Empire was backed up by the Akurian government, who had been fighting the resistance fighters for several months. The Rebel Alliance wanted to liberate the planet from the Imperials, who were using Akurians for manual labor in the planet's mines and on other worlds throughout the galaxy, even on the Death Star I. The attack ultimately failed, though the Rebels and resistance fighters killed the Imperial second in command.
