Raid on Corellia (Second Confederation Crisis)

The Raid on Corellia was a minor skirmish in 18 BBY which led to the theft of Centerpoint Station by Second Confederation forces.

Prelude
Avenko Ti, the leader of the Second Confederation has designed a plan to retreat to the Unknown Regions, but he needed to acquire Centerpoint Station to clear a hyperspace lane with it. The time for his attack came in 18 BBY, when his agents on Corellia reported that the local population is preparing to revolt, so he assembled a task force of 2 Munificent-class frigates and 5 heavily modified Action VI transports.

These transports were outfitted with shielding and hidden quad laser cannons. Three of them carried Vulture droids, one carried tri-droids, while the last one had a C-9979 landing craft and a boarding party inside.

The battle
The five Confederate transports jumped out of hyperspace near Tralus in the Corellian system. The Imperial forces dismissed them as standard merchants, and allowed them to advance towards Talus.

Just after the permission was granted, a fleet of five armed CR90 corvettes and DP20 frigates arrived into the system, and 60 V-19 Torrents took off from Tralus. The units attacked the Star Destroyer New Order, which was taken by surprise, and was hit in the hangar. Its escort, the Augustus immediatly responded and deposited several V-wing and TIE/ln starfighters to deal with the rebels.

However, when the Imperials attacked the V-19s, they noticed that the Corellians applied serious upgrades to them, most notably shields and double laser cannons. The fighters soon engaged each other across the burning surface of the New Order. One blazing V-19 slammed into the Star Destroyer's bridge, which caused the ship to go out of control and crash into an ocean on Tralus.

Boarding Centerpoint
In the meantime, the Confederate special force reached Centerpoint Station. The fifth transport released the C-9979 landing craft with the boarding party inside, while the rest spawned the fighters, which formed a defensive screen around them.

The landing craft docked with Centerpoint, and the boarding party carefully began to advance towards its bridge. Soon they noticed that the station was abandoned and sped their attack.

Avenko Ti then ordered his Munificents to jump out of hyperspace above Tralus. The frigates attacked the Star Destroyer Augustus to bog it down while the boarding party activates Centerpoint. They also spawned droid fighters, which joined the three-sided dogfight between the Corellians and the Imperials.

Finally, the boarding party initialized Centerpoint's hyperdrive and retreated to Kalee. The transports and the frigates followed it, leaving the Imperials to deal with the rebels.

Aftermath
The Imperials quelled the helpless Corellian revolt. The absence of Centerpoint was only detected days later, as it was an overlooked object despite of its size. The Confederation now had the tool required for Operation Nightfall, and prepared to use it.
