The Ambush at Thila took place in the era of the Galactic Civil War. As part of the Infiltration of Kalist VI, Alliance to Restore the Republic operatives deliberately misled the Empire with fabricated intelligence concerning a Rebel installation located on Thila. Based on this faulty data, Kalist VI Base Commander General Noils tasked Captain Kale Roshuir with the mission to eliminate the supposed 'rebel base' and all personnel within.
Upon reaching the unusually silent Rebel base, Galactic Empire Captain Roshuir dispatched Lieutenant Clynn and his unit to delve into the catacombs that formed the base's structure for reconnaissance. While navigating the subterranean passages, Clynn's team inadvertently activated one of the numerous concealed detonators placed by the Rebels, triggering a massive explosion that obliterated the entire base, along with the unsuspecting Imperial forces.
