Destruction of Laakteen Depot

The destruction of Laakteen Depot marked the maiden voyage of the newly-constructed Star Dreadnought Executor, Darth Vader's flagship. The Executor completely destroyed Laakteen Depot, an outpost the Alliance to Restore the Republic fought a year to win. The outpost's destruction effectively acted as the Executors commencement ceremony, under Vader's orders. After word of its destruction was brought to the Rebel Base at Yavin 4, the Rebels were forced to form an alliance with the Mon Calamari.
