The '''Battle of Anoat Main Sensor Array''' was a conflict between the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]] and the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Alliance to Restore the Republic]] that took place in [[3 ABY/Legends|3 ABY]]. It resulted in the destruction of the Array.

==Background==
Following the [[Battle of Bettel|destruction]] of the [[Corrupter (Imperial-class)|''Corrupter'']]{{'s}} [[Corrupter repair convoy|Repair Convoy]]. [[Admiral/Legends|Admiral]] [[Nammo]] believed that the time had come to punch a hole in the Empire's Sensor Network and slip away undetected. Several relay stations were to be attacked to mask the primary target which was [[Sensor Array]] station [[IOS 24]]. Time was a critical factor as they had to destroy the station before Imperial Reinforcements can muster.

==Battle==
The 4 [[Gamma-class ATR-6 assault transport|Assault Transports]] arrived first powering up their jamming equipment. The [[T-65 X-wing starfighter/Legends|X-wings]] then jumped in and destroyed the static defenses. While the [[A/SF-01 B-wing starfighter/Legends|B-wings]] made torpedo runs at the main Sensor Array destroying it. The platform meanwhile had sent [[TIE/LN starfighter]]s and [[TIE/IN interceptor/Legends|TIE/IN interceptors]] to try to stop the Rebels. It also sent [[TIE/sa bomber/Legends|TIE/sa bombers]] to try to take out the Assault Transports knowing that once they were down they could call in reinforcements. This was unsuccessful as the Rebel Starfighters managed to stop the TIE Bombers and the stations shields were failing. The Imperial Officers then attempted to escape in the [[Lambda-class T-4a shuttle/Legends|''Lambda''-class T-4a shuttle]] [[Jev (Lambda-class)|Jev]]. But that Shuttle was also destroyed.

==Aftermath==
{{Quote|Was the Sensor station able to repel the Rebel attack?''"<br />"''Negative sir. Gunboats from Tau Squadron reported that the station was destroyed.|[[Admiral/Legends|Admiral]] [[Garreth Holtz|Holtz]] and Imperial Officer|<ref name="Alliance" />}}
With the destruction of the Sensor Array the Rebel Fleet was able to escape into the far reaches of the [[Outer Rim Territories/Legends|Outer Rim]]. Meanwhile [[Admiral/Legends|Admiral]] [[Garreth Holtz|Holtz]] would soon be assigned there to stop pirate activity as punishment, not knowing that he would stumble upon an agreement between [[Dunari]] and the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel Alliance]] to bring in supplies.
