Legend

this struggle for control of the small planet Orinda occurred some nine years after the Battle of Endor, when Imperial Admiral Pellaeon decided that the Imperial Remnant needed to re-assert its power. Within a few weeks, Pellaeon and his forces had captured Orinda and six neighboring systems before the New Republic could react. The Republic sent Wedge Antilles and the Lusankya to Orinda, but the meager Republic fleet was no match for the Imperials. The Super-class Star Destroyer Reaper destroyed the fleet carrier Endurance and most of the Lusankya's starfighters before Antilles withdrew. Orinda remained in Imperial hands for many years afterward, until Pellaeon was defeated and signed a peace treaty with the New Republic's Chief of State, Ponc Gavrisom.
