A '''raid''' above [[Ghorman/Legends|Ghorman]] against an [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Imperial]] supply convoy by the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel Alliance]] occurred early in the [[Galactic Civil War/Legends|Galactic Civil War]], delaying the expansion of an Imperial base in the [[Ghorman system|system]].

==Prelude==
Early<ref name="Date" /> in the [[Galactic Civil War/Legends|Galactic Civil War]], the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]] was in the process of expanding a base on the [[Planet/Legends|planet]] [[Ghorman/Legends|Ghorman]],<ref name="CSWE" >{{CSWECite|I|338|Ghorman}}</ref> with a supply convoy of Imperial [[BFF-1 bulk freighter/Legends|BFF-1 bulk freighters]], ''[[Century 1]]'', [[Century 2|''2'']], and [[Century 3|''3'']], carrying the necessary supplies.<ref name="Xwing" />

==The raid==
A [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel Alliance]] strike force, composed of a [[BTL Y-wing starfighter/Legends|BTL Y-wing starfighter]]<ref name="Xwing" /> and a modified [[R-22 Spearhead starfighter]]<ref name="TNEGTC" /> from [[Red Squadron (Rebel Alliance)/Legends|Red Squadron]], attacked the [[Freighter/Legends|freighters]], finding them in a rendezvous with an escort of two [[TIE/LN starfighter]]s each from [[Alpha Squadron|Alpha]], [[Beta Squadron/Legends|Beta]], [[Gamma Squadron/Legends|Gamma]], and [[Delta Squadron (TIE/LN)|Delta Squadrons]] in the [[Ghorman system]]. The Y-wing [[Pilot/Legends|pilot]], using the [[call sign]] [[Red One]], attacked the freighter convoy, while "[[Red Two/Legends|Red Two]]" engaged the TIE escort in the R-22 Spearhead.<ref name="Xwing" />

==Aftermath==
Red Team's attack was a success, delaying the Ghorman base's expansion by a [[Standard year/Legends|year]].<ref name="Xwing" />

The engagement was later simulated as a training mission by the Rebel Alliance, intended to teach prospective Spearhead<ref name="TNEGTC" /> pilots to escort and support Y-wings. [[Agamarian]] Rebel [[Keyan Farlander/Legends|Keyan Farlander]] was assigned to the simulation by [[Training officer/Legends|training officer]] [[Wex Dafid]] prior to Farlander's recruitment into the Alliance [[Flagship/Legends|flagship]] [[Independence/Legends|''Independence'']]{{'s}} Red Squadron.<ref name="XWOSG" />

==Behind the scenes==
The battle first appeared in the [[1993]] [[video game]] ''[[Star Wars: X-Wing]]'' as the fourth A-wing historical mission, "Attack Run on Freighters."<ref name="Xwing" />

While ''X-Wing'' identifies the player's craft during this mission as an [[RZ-1 A-wing interceptor/Legends|A-wing]],<ref name="Xwing" /> [[Jan Dodonna/Legends|Jan Dodonna's]] entry in ''[[The New Essential Guide to Characters]]'' [[retcon]]s appearances of the A-wing prior to the [[Battle of Yavin/Legends|Battle of Yavin]] to be modified R-22 Spearheads.<ref name="TNEGTC" />
