Operation Midnight Freedom was the codename for a battle during the Cold War between the forces of the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, which took place over the planet of Fondor. Six weeks prior, a Republic transport carrying soldiers and colonists went missing in the Fondor system, having been captured by the Empire. After escaping their captivity, they were then fleeing imperial custody in a hijacked Imperial shuttle. An Imperial fleet was subsequently called in to destroy the shuttle in order to cover up the Empire's aggressive actions against the planet's populace, which were in violation of the Treaty of Coruscant. Calling for aid from the Republic, the conflict was resolved when all available forces in the region, including the Coruscant Aegis squadron, arrived, protecting the shuttle until it could be recovered a Republic Valor-class cruiser.^[5]

Behind the scenes

Operation Midnight Freedom appears as the Space Missions "Fondor Escort" available in the MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic. Republic players are called to protect a shuttle from Imperial frigates and starfighters. Bonus missions are available to destroy 25 Imperial fighters, 20 capital ship turrets, and a final mission to destroy the command point of a Harrower-class dreadnought. Operation Midnight Freedom is the Republic counterpart of the Empire's space combat mission "Jabiim Escort", which takes place above the planet Jabiim.^[5]
