Scanning in the Vergesso Asteroids


The Scanning in the Vergesso Asteroids was a minor skirmish during the Galactic Civil War in the Vergesso Asteroids.

Prelude


In order to retrieve more information about the new Imperial superweapon, the Alliance decided to attack one of Grand Moff Tarkin's research facilities.

The station in question was heavily defended, so Han Solo was tasked with infiltrating an Imperial cargo facility in the Vergesso Asteroids and attaching an EMP device to a container bound for Tarkin's station.

The mission


Han Solo and Chewbacca used the Millennium Falcon to scan the system. Their intention was to find a container that would be heading to Tarkin's research station.

At some point Boba Fett, in the Slave I, arrived in the system searching for Solo but the Falcon managed to escape him.

After destroying some TIE/LN starfighters on patrol, Han found the container and succeeded in placing the EMP device and left the system before any more Imperial reinforcements arrived.

Aftermath


After the Millennium Falcon left the system, the container and its new load was sent to Tarkin's research facility, in orbit of Corulag. A Rebel fleet was quickly assembled to raid the station.

Behind the scenes


This battle was the eighth mission of the Rebel campaign in the 2006 video game Star Wars: Empire at War.
