An attack on the Defiance took place in the Bestine system during the Galactic Civil War.

Prelude

During Operation Skyhook, the Empire made a surprise attack on the command ship Defiance near Bestine IV, site of an important Rebel base. The Imperial-class Star Destroyer Immortal just ended its hyperdrive jump next to the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser Defiance.

The battle

The Star Destroyer Immortal entered the system and deployed its TIEs. Red Squadron's X-wings and Blue Squadron's A-wings managed to destroy many Imperial starfighters and allowed the Defiance to escape in hyperspace.
