The Third Battle of Goff unfolded as an ambush orchestrated by the Mon Calamari Cruiser named Liberty, in conjunction with Rebel forces operating within the Airam sector.
The confrontation commenced soon after the Calamari Cruiser Liberty arrived at the designated coordinates within the Goff system. The Imperial-class Star Destroyers Conqueror and Nemesis were aggressively pursuing it, accompanied by the Immobilizer 418 cruiser Compellor.
Rogue Squadron immediately engaged the opposing starfighters launched from the two Star Destroyers, successfully thwarting any potential bombing runs against the Liberty. Concurrently, Green Squadron accelerated to engage the larger capital ships. In the meantime, the Compellor activated its gravity well projectors, preventing the Rebel forces from escaping into hyperspace.
Given these circumstances, the commander of the Liberty instructed Green Squadron to target the interdictor. Following multiple hits from proton torpedoes, the interdictor's shields failed, compelling it to withdraw from the battle. Subsequently, Green Squadron redirected its attention to the Star Destroyers, successfully disabling their shields. At some point during the engagement, the light Calamari Cruiser named Condor joined the fight, augmenting the Liberty's firepower. Ultimately, the Rebel fighters were able to cripple the Star Destroyers using ion cannons and ultimately destroy them.
Despite facing two Star Destroyers with only a single Calamari Cruiser and its accompanying fighters, the Battle of Goff represented a relatively straightforward victory for the Alliance. This triumph also served to bolster morale following the retreat from Gelgelar.
The loss of half of Task Force Vengeance's initial complement of four Star Destroyers significantly weakened the Empire's ability to project power within the sector. Furthermore, it enabled Alliance High Command to recognize the threat posed by interdictors like the Compellor, ultimately leading to the formulation of a plan to acquire the technology for their own use.
