Battle of Arawak (Galactic Civil War)

The Battle of Arawak was an engagement between the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic in 3 ABY, on the Outer Rim Territories.

Prelude
In early 3 ABY, the Alliance began to build bases in the uninhabited areas of the Outer Rim planet of Arawak and recruit from its population in order to strike at Imperial targets in the region. Soon after they established themselves, they were discovered by the small Imperial Army garrison on the planet, forcing the Rebels to preemptively begin their operations. They, with the help of civilian militias, quickly killed or captured the Imperial Army personnel and severed communications with the rest of the Empire. Afterwards, a small Rebel fleet, led by General Redorik Corra, was deployed to help protect the planet from any Imperial counterattacks.

Due to the loss of contact with the forces on Arawak and suspecting foul play, Admiral Tarand Andromias was placed in charge of a task force sent to investigate. Commanding from the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer, Imperial-67132, Admiral Andromias departed from Lokono, arriving several days later.
