'''''Death of a Rebel Base''''' is a short story written by [[Greg Gorden]], originally published in the ''[[Imperial Sourcebook]]'' and later archived on [[Hyperspace: The Official Star Wars Fan Club|Hyperspace]].

==Plot summary==
A [[Stormtrooper/Legends|stormtrooper]] force led by Commander [[Hayvlin]] launched a punitive strike on an unidentified [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel]] base.

The force, based from the Star Destroyer [[Avenger/Legends|''Avenger'']], approached the base in [[All Terrain Armored Transport/Legends|AT-ATs]]. Upon reaching the perimeter of the base, stormtroopers dismounted their vehicles and swept the Rebel defenders back inside the base. A cutting team was called in to break down the [[Blast door/Legends|blast doors]]. Stormtroopers then drove the defenders back through the base, taking casualties but advancing quickly and inexorably. The Rebels were driven to their only hope for escape, a hangar bay at the rear of the base. There they boarded [[Airspeeder/Legends|airspeeders]] and attempted to flee, but were all shot down by waiting AT-ATs beyond the hangar bay doors.

Imperial troops, having disabled the Rebels' [[Deflector shield generator/Legends|shield generator]], then retreated beyond the perimeter of the base so that the ''Avenger'' could finish off the base with an [[Orbital bombardment/Legends|orbital bombardment]]. Commander Hayvlin was later praised by Captain [[Ferdas]] for his work leading the assault.
