Ambush at Zolan

"Damn, it's a trap! Gold Squadron form up but stay loose. I think we're in for a world of hurt."

- Commander Saft after he realized the Rebels had been drawn into a trap

The Ambush at Zolan was an intense engagement between the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire, which resulted in what was for all intents and purposes a Rebel victory. The battle took place early in 2 ABY when a Rebel supply convoy being escorted by Gold Squadron was jumped by the Star Destroyer Hunter, under the command of Captain Peri Tarsik, over Zolan as they attempted to make the jump to hyperspace. The engagement was one of the first instances in which Trench Run Defense was used succesfully against an Imperial warship.
