Convoy Alpha Raid

The Convoy Alpha Raid was a short skirmish that took place shortly after the beginning of the Dark Order War.

Previously
After the Imperial victory over Kuat, Jaden Korr began repairing and refueling the ships in his fleet, but more supplies were required. He ordered three Imperial Convoys full of supplies to come to the shipyards to assist.

The Battle
The first Convoy, Alpha, came out of lightspeed at the edge of the Kuat System and proceeded to travel at sublight speed toward the shipyards. However, New Republic intelligence had discovered the existence of the Imperial Convoys, and dispatched a small force to destroy it.

Rogue Squadron flew past the surprised Imperial lines and destroyed many of the Imperial starfighters just as they were launched.

This caused the convoy to erupt into chaos and disarray. While the Imperial fighters were kept busy by Rogue Squadron, the Y-Wings flew in and seeded the area with proton space bombs on their first run.

30 seconds later the mines exploded, destroying and heavily damaging much of the convoy. At this point, the Nebulon B frigate moved in to engage the Star Destroyer. Although the Venator was upgraded to compete with medium capital ship, it was still outmatched by Rogue Squadron's coordinated assault.

The Y-Wings turned around and emptied their proton torpedoes into the convoy, destroying what was left of it and heavily damaging the Star Destroyer. Red and Rogue squadrons then returned to the frigate's hangar.

The Venator managed to send a distress signal, but by the time the Dark Hand arrived, the Republic forces had left the area.
