Battle of Ton-Falk
a battle which took place early in the Galactic Civil War, in which the Alliance was able to destroy two Imperial Nebulon-B frigates and a Dreadnaught. This was accomplished because these two ships had to drop their compliments of TIE Fighters very near to the battle, since the TIE Fighters lack hyperdrives. The Alliance starfighters ganged up on the larger, slower ships, and destroyed them. This defeat led the Empire to develop Escort Carriers.
