Attack on Obumubo


Prelude


In 3 ABY, Twilight Company had been attacking several planets in an effort to divert troops and supplies away from the shipyards of Kuat. The fighting had been bloody. No troopers had died at the Attack on the dockyards of Najan-Rovi, but injuries and exhaustion had taken a toll.

The Battle


The garrison had been from fighting off the sea creatures of Obumubo for months and gained experience. The Battlefield favored the defenders and the garrison expertly defended the fort. In the initial landing, 2 Twilight soldiers and a medic drowned after jumping from the dropships. Another dozen died in the first assault. It took two more days for the siege cannons to be prepped on the fluid landscape and the cannons brought down the garrison at last.

Aftermath


The Thunderstrike sped out of system as Imperial reinforcement arrived. Former Governor Everi Chalis promised that their actions could lead the Alliance to victory.

Behind the scenes


The attack on Obumubo first appeared in the 2015 novel Battlefront: Twilight Company, written by Alexander Freed.
