A minor conflict, or skirmish, took place on the planet of Atzerri during the period of the Galactic Civil War. In this engagement, a pirate associate of the Rebel Alliance tried to sell sensitive Rebel military data to the forces of the Galactic Empire.
The pirate, piloting his private Interceptor frigate, made his escape to Atzerri. He intended to meet with an Imperial fleet that was located within the system. The Imperials planned to obtain the information through force, rather than payment. They compelled the pirate to surrender and prepare for boarding.
The Alliance Fleet then arrived in the system. Their strategy was to use the larger capital ships to attract the enemy's fire, while groups of Y-wings would target the Action VI transport with their ion cannons. This would enable Raymus Antilles and a squad of soldiers to board the vessel.
The two opposing fleets began to exchange fire. A group of four Immobilizer 418 cruisers were activated, preventing the pirate's contact from fleeing the area.
A squad of Y-wings successfully disabled the transport ship. The Sundered Heart then docked with the immobilized warship, allowing Captain Antilles and a team of Rebel soldiers to board. They successfully captured the traitor.
As the fleet prepared to jump to hyperspace with their captive, the Immobilizers remained active. Raymus led a squadron of Y-wings in a bombing run against the starships. The squad of Immobilizers were destroyed, which then allowed the Rebels to jump to hyperspace, taking the hostage with them.
The captured pirate eventually gave up information regarding the Imperial superweapon project. The Rebellion discovered that Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin was personally overseeing the project from a space station that was orbiting Corulag. However, before attacking the station, the Rebels needed the help of smuggler Han Solo, who had been captured in the Corellian system.
This particular battle was the sixth mission featured within the Rebel campaign of the 2006 video game Star Wars: Empire at War.
