Defense of Écparz

The Defense of Écparz occurred when the Galactic Empire responded to the takeover of the Écpe system by Rebel Group MT50. During the battle, the exterior of the Rebel-controlled base on Écparz was damaged so severely that Admiral believed the entire structure was destroyed.

The battle
After winning the Battle of Écparz, Commander Soflas Pulviir knew the Empire would not be slow in responding so he called on as many favors as he could to bring in some old pirate friends to help defend the base. To his surprise, a mysterious entity known as Judas Corporation also sent mercenaries to his aid. Imperial Starfleet, meanwhile, sent Admiral Feyet Kiez to deal with the situation. When he arrived, he did battle in space while sending stormtroopers to seize the base. It only took him two hours to chase away the pirates and rebels fighting him in space but the ground combat was moving more slowly. Despite the base being softened by TIE bombers, the stormtroopers had barely made any headway. After several more hours of fighting, the stormtrooper commander, Yames Balkar, ordered his men to fall back and regroup. During those few moments, the Rebels disappeared into the tunnels beneath the base. As the Imperial forces launched their second attack, they met no resistance and no enemies. As they began to fan out and search for them, the Judas Corporation mercenaries, detonated the explosives they had placed throughout the base and it destroyed most of the base, killing a few hundred stormtroopers. Believing the Rebels destroyed, Admiral Kiez reported his victory and received orders to abandon the system until further notice. After recovering his forces, he left the system and went to.
