Operation Showdown was a black ops operation conducted by the Special Forces of the Galactic Confederate Systems to rescue their President, Cole Kroger.
Pre-battle[]
During a raid on the secret headquarters of the GCS Army on Endor, President Cole Kroger was captured. The GCS, unwilling to let their President be tortured into handing over information about their military, planned to rescue him.
Hijacking[]
The Pirates would distract the Imperials by hijacking Bastion Flight 107, while Confederate ARC troopers would launch a rescue mission for the President.
Operation Showdown[]
The operation was launched as Star Destroyer stopped at Corellian space to refuel.
As the Imperials began to interrogate Kroger inside his cell block, the Confederate rescue party, led by the Kroger's wife, arrived. Three armor penetrating space craft, one of them modified to be their escape ship, came out of hyperspace and descended on the Star Destroyer. Yulaven alerted Green Company and sent storm troopers to repel the enemy when the space craft easily evaded the starship's turbolasers. The three Confederate boarding ships breached the hull of the Peace Keeper and lodged themselves in the Star Destroyer near its hangar bays. The troopers of Green Company arrived and took cover behind several crates from Nicole Kroger and the CARCs that were being deployed from the boarding craft. In the ensuing crossfire, the Confederates attacked the over-matched trooper with guns, blasters, special weapons and rockets, and Nicole with her lightsaber. The Imperial forces were subsequently defeated, including Green Leader. However, two CARCs were killed.
Recovering a trooper's comlink, Nicole cut a hole in one of the vents in the ceiling of the hangar with her lightsaber and proceeded to the starship's engine room. The Jedi was able to slip past 327-T, the WED-15 Treadwell droid that was inspecting the area, and plant several thermal detonators around the Star Destroyer's main reactors before escaping and heading to the detention level to personally confront the her husband's captors. On orders from Nicole, the CARCs marched through one of the Star Destroyer's hallways, defeating six remaining Green Company troopers. The clones lost another trooper and sent a wounded trooper back to the escape ship.
Nicole cut a hole in the detention levels' ceiling and knocked the two Imperial Commandos manning the control station of the Peace Keeper there unconscious. The Jedi then confronted Dark Soldier, a special Sith warrior. She defeated him, after a tiresome battle, and rescued her husband.
Admiral Yulaven, realizing utter defeat was inevitable, made his departure in a hyperspace capable escape pod.
The CARCs planted propane time-bombs all around the ship. When the Krogers came back to the ship, the clones, having recovered the bodies of the three killed, escaped. Five minutes after the Confederates were in hyperspace, the bombs went off, killing all the Imperials except Yulaven, who had already escaped.
