The Distress Call[]
A distress call rages through the ships communicator saying "This is Grand Admiral... We have been ambu.. rebels need assistance... I repeat.. assistance." During the battle the rebels have ambushed a Grand Admiral while X-Wings are flying around destroying TIE fighters and the shield domes of the star destroyers while the rebel cruisers focus fire on each star destroyers.
Seconds later just before the Grand Admirals' star destroyer was going to be destroyed, a group of dreadnoughts jump just meters away from the doomed star destroyer crashing into rebel frigates and fighters. The lead dreadnought destroys the remaining rebel ships while the rest of the dreadnought group helps evacuate the star destroyer and secure the Grand Admiral. One rebel pilot escaped and warned the rebellion that the mission failed as a large group of dreadnoughts jumped in and destroyed everything in seconds.
The Warning[]
The rebel pilot regroups with the rebel fleet and docks with Mon Mothma's ship "The Aspiration" and tells her everything that had happened with the pilot's group while she was in communicating with the fleet's Admirals and Generals. Crix Madine hops into the conversation saying that similar call-sign's was used during the strike on Yavin and these two strikes had something to do with each other.
Worrying Madine said something about his past as a Storm Commando and said that they were building a special star destroyer for Admiral Strang on the planet of Naboo but did not know the exact details as he defected from the Storm Commandos early after the terrible chemical attack Dentaal. Mon Mothma wanting to see if this information was true she ordered a freighter known for their infiltrating sent them to Naboo to find this special star destroyer.
