The Assault on Protazk took place on the planet Protazk as part of the Kwymar Suppressions, in 17 BBY. The Rebel forces were defeated by the Galactic Empire.
Background
- "Keep your eyes peeled, this place is crawling with Rebel scum."
- ―Gortz
Early during the Imperial Period, the Rebel bases in the Kwymar sector came under attack by the Imperial forces in a campaign known as the Kwymar Suppressions. Protazk was one of those planets attacked.[1]
The battle
- "Rebel airspeeders approaching in attack formation. Squad three, peel off and intercept."
- ―Colonel Johans
The battle began when the Imperial Hammers Elite Armor Unit repulsortanks attacked a fortified area known as the Spuma Flats. Colonel Zel Johans personally led the regiment in his tank. While the others tanks engaged the laser turrets and Rebel troopers hidden in trenches, Squad three intercepted a group of airspeeders.[3]
Once all fortification were destroyed, stormtroopers landed in Imperial Armored Transports and assaulted the Rebel Infantry in the trenches.[3]
