Pirate Hunting

Pirate Hunting was a campaign of the Galactic Civil War that took place early on, in 0 ABY. In the Mortex sector, a gang of pirates known as the Black Nova threatened commercial shipping, resulting in the Imperial Navy responding with force. Initially, it was thought that the pirates were simply another pirate group, but Imperial Intelligence found connections between them and the Alliance to Restore the Republic. The Galactic Empire deployed the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Destructor, along with various support ships, and a wing of TIE/LN starfighters.
