Holshef

(Taken to FA by ProfessorTofty on March 10, 2018)

As rebellious activities increased on Lothal, the Empire also increased its efforts in corralling the planet's criminal underworld, and few elements escaped attention. The Empire targeted the Gray Syndicate's gambling operations and warehouses, before finally accomplishing the Syndicate's near total destruction by raiding its headquarters and killing Laxo. Her death left Holshef in danger, as there remained an Imperial bounty issued for the old man's capture. Thus, Merei Spanjaf, a human female who had come to know and like Holshef through her activities with the Syndicate, sought to spirit him off Lothal. (Read more…)

Gilad Pellaeon

After Savit was relieved of his duty, Pellaeon and the Harbinger were reassigned to assist Thrawn's Seventh Fleet. Together with Thrawn, Pellaeon participated in the Imperial blockade of the planet Lothal until it was liberated by the rebel Spectres and their allies shortly before the Battle of Yavin. During the liberation, all Imperial starships present were destroyed by flocks of the space-faring purrgil, and Pellaeon's communication with the Grand Admiral was quickly cut off. (Read more…)

Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser

(Taken to FA by AnilSerifoglu on August 11, 2023)

Once utilized by the Utapaun Security Forces as anti-pirate vessels, as well as the Republic Navy to fight the Separatists during the Clone Wars, the Dreadnought was still considered one of the more capable ships of its class and size in use by the time of the Galactic Empire. In the year 2 BBY, a group of insurgents from the planet Batonn employed a contingent of Dreadnought-class vessels during a failed revolt, while many heavy cruisers later served as part of Grand Admiral Thrawn's Imperial blockade over the planet Lothal in 1 BBY. The blockade lasted until Lothal's liberation from the Empire, when all Imperial ships present were destroyed by a pod of the space-faring purrgil creatures.

The Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser was also used by the Rebel Alliance in the faction's struggle against the Empire. Many former Imperial Support Vessels, which the Empire did not see worth the price of repair and simply left to deteriorate, were salvaged and outfitted to serve in the Alliance Fleet. In 4 ABY, the rebels used a stolen Imperial Support Vessel, 49AX3, to transport their soldiers for a raid at an Imperial refinery in the Outer Rim, securing the installation's fuel supplies for the rebel fleet.

Vult Skerris

(Taken to FA by UberSoldat93 on January 08, 2024)

In that year, Skerris dealt with cadets at Skystrike attempting to defect to the rebellion, led by the rebel Sabine Wren, but failed to prevent their escape. Sometime later, Skerris, promoted to commander, was placed under Grand Admiral Thrawn's command and was personally chosen by the Grand Admiral to fly a prototype TIE/d "Defender" Multi-Role Starfighter to pursue the rogue Senator Mon Mothma into the Archeon Nebula. During the pursuit, Skerris shot down multiple Y-wings escorting Mothma, who was aboard the starship Ghost. The rebels escaped after Skerris' starfighter was struck by an ion cannon, causing it to drift aimlessly into the nebula.

After recovering, Skerris was placed as the commander of Defender Squadron One and led the unit in engaging Grysk Hegemony forces while Thrawn and the Sith Lord Darth Vader completed their mission on the planet Batuu and later the planet Mokivj. The pilot was later selected to fly a new prototype fighter, the TIE/D Defender Elite, by Thrawn on the planet Lothal. However, Skerris did not get a chance to demonstrate its capabilities to the Grand Admiral when the ship was stolen by Wren and her rebel cohort Ezra Bridger. Subsequently, Thrawn allowed the rebels to demonstrate its prowess and later authorized its destruction after he was satisfied with the results.

In 1 BBY, Skerris participated in defending the Imperial blockade in the Lothal system against a Rebel Alliance squadron led by General Hera Syndulla. He ultimately died when Syndulla lured him into a trap that involved eliminating his Defender's shields to let her shoot him down, sending him crashing into an Arquitens-class command cruiser.

Constrainer

(Taken to FA by Tommy-Macaroni on May 04, 2024)

During Thrawn's ensuing assault on the rebels, the Constrainer, as well as another Interdictor Star Destroyer, prevented enemy ships from bypassing the Imperial blockade. However, the other Interdictor was destroyed, allowing rebel Lieutenant Commander Ezra Bridger to escape the fray. Bridger subsequently enlisted several Mandalorian warriors to aid the rebels. These warriors, led by Bridger and Sabine Wren, landed on the Constrainer's hull and fired on one of its gravity well projectors. Although engaged by Imperial jet troopers, the strike team nonetheless managed to rupture the generator. This caused it to explode, obliterating the ship and allowing the rebels to flee.

Kassius Konstantine's Interdictor

(Taken to FA by Tommy-Macaroni on August 19, 2024)

During the battle, Konstantine commanded the Star Destroyer, where it and fellow Interdictor Constrainer prevented enemy ships from fleeing into hyperspace. Although directly ordered to remain at his assigned coordinates by Thrawn, Konstantine was lured out of position by rebel Commander Jun Sato's command ship, Phoenix Nest, with the admiral eager to claim the kill for himself. However, Sato then maneuvered his carrier into the path of the Interdictor, destroying both ships. This allowed rebel Ezra Bridger to escape the Imperial blockade and call for reinforcements, ultimately allowing the remaining rebels to escape. Reflecting on the battle in his book, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, historian Beaumont Kin believed that it was ludicrous to place such a vital starship in Konstantine's command, due to the admiral's prior military failures.

Minos Cluster

(Taken to FA by Spookywilloww on September 07, 2024)

During the High Republic Era, the Minos Cluster fell within the Galactic Republic's Galactic Frontier exploration region. The Minos Cluster also fell within the borders of the Occlusion Zone, following its formation in 230 BBY, as one of ten sectors sealed behind a barrier preventing hyperspace travel. In 229 BBY, the Nihil marauders controlling the Occlusion Zone attacked Prandril's Rodian colony and killed half its colonists for not paying their tributes to the pirates. Later that year, Jedi Master Avar Kriss and the pilot Belin delivered grain to the starving Rodian colony. (Read more…)

Lothal re-settlement camp 43

(Taken to FA by Brandon Rhea on May 19, 2025)

The settlement, located in a temperate area near Lothal's Capital City, consisted of makeshift dwellings built from salvaged shipping containers, and it was centered around a damaged moisture vaporator with drinking water that was likely contaminated. Lacking proper sanitation and infrastructure, Tarkintown’s multi-species residents were forced to rely on mutual aid and occasional support from the rebel group known as the Spectres. Imperial retaliation against such rebel efforts made Tarkintown a target, including a mass poisoning that nearly killed a number of inhabitants. In 4 BBY, during the Siege of Lothal, the Sith Lord Darth Vader ordered Agent Alexsandr Kallus of the Imperial Security Bureau to burn Tarkintown to the ground. Its residents were either imprisoned or killed, with no records kept as to how many of Tarkintown's citizens were casualties. (Read more…)

Attack on the Ghost

(Taken to FA by Brandon Rhea on June 06, 2025)

Outnumbered and sustaining damage from the remaining TIEs, Jarrus and rebel Captain Hera Syndulla struggled to work together as a communication disruption aboard the Ghost prevented the two from effectively coordinating their responses to the attack. Their astromech droid, C1-10P—or "Chopper"—ultimately saved the day by using the Ghost's auxiliary ship, the Phantom, to destroy the remaining TIE fighters that Jarrus, who had already destroyed two of the fighters with the Ghost's turret cannon, had been unable to finish off. This allowed the Spectres to escape and continue carrying out their activities, part of a growing insurgency against the Empire.

Sometime later, the Ghost traveled to Osisis Station for repairs, where Syndulla was forced into a high-stakes race against station owner Galus Vez in the hopes of securing the parts needed to repair the damage from the attack. With help from Jarrus and his new Padawan, Ezra Bridger, she won the race and secured the parts needed for the ship's repairs. (Read more…)

Skirmish over Lothal

(Taken to FA by Brandon Rhea on September 21, 2025)

After the crash, Rudor and his fighter were discovered by Ezra Bridger, a young orphan who had been on the ground to witness the firefight taking place overhead. Bridger helped a trapped Rudor open the stuck cockpit hatch and in return, ungrateful for the boy's help, Rudor chastised Bridger for touching his ship. Bridger repaid the pilot's rebuke by stealing several components from the TIE fighter, including the pilot's helmet, to sell on the black market. Rudor used the fighter's still-functioning weapons to open fire on the boy, but Bridger was able to unknowingly use the Force to evade him and incapacitate the downed pilot. Not long after, Bridger encountered the very rebels who had shot Rudor down, joined their crew, and began training as a Jedi. (Read more…)
