Last Stand at Refnar
this battle between Alliance starships guarding a convoy and Imperial forces turned at the wrong moment for the Alliance. Flight commander Margo "Pepper" Flarestream and her squadron had nearly routed the TIE Fighters sent to atack the convoy, when the Imperial commander broke with typical doctrine and launched his cruiser into the battle. The larger ship quickly decimated Falrestream's starfighters, then destroyed much of the convoy. The mission had been Flarestream's first command, and she retired from Starfighter Commander shortly afterward, despite the fact that she saved nearly seventy percent of her ships.
