Battle of Tatooine (AW)

A battle was fought on and over Tatooine as part of Operation: Sunshine during the Alliance War. Tatooine hosted the headquarters of Coalition Imperial 35th Fleet, and so Alliance Rebels decided to deliver a final blow against the oppressing enemy fleet.

Battle over Tatooine
After the departure of Alliance Twilight Squadron from Tatooine, a Rebel fleet arrived and attacked the Coalition Imperial one.

When Twilight Squadron returned to help ground forces, capital ships went in rescue of ally vessels, while the transport Vortex reached the ground.

Mission against AT-AT walkers
The Vortex landed and deployed Twilight Squad with the specific aim of stopping the column of Coalition s headed to Alliance Rebel troopers facing Imperial infantry not far away. The walkers were advancing in a sort of canyon, so from an elevated position the Squad could find a hidden way to reach the vehicles: a tunnel in the rocks.

But the building had already been occupied by Imperials, so Twilight men had to face some squads of s. When they exited the tunnels, they were basically under the walkers, but anti-infantry defenses, composed by troopers and two s, focused on them.

Behind the scenes
The Battle of Tatooine appears in Scenario XXXIV of the Alliance universe.
