Battle missions
Attack on Imperial Factory Drekker
VSD Inexorable has to defend the Drekker Industries Special Materials Factory Drekker in the Yerej system from Rebel FRG Meteor and its Z-95 Headhunter starfighters.
Ambush of Rebel Supply Recovery from Obran Cluster
Imperial ETR Trap Door has deployed a minefield around a rebel supply cache in the Obran Cluster and Gunboats ambush Rebel forces that come to recover the supplies with Heavy Lifter group HLF Beetle.
Attack on Tortali Platform
The Imperial supply platform in the Tortali IV system comes under heavy attack from Rebel starfighters and STRKC Huntsman comes to its aid.
Ambush Arms Smugglers near Ytha'ac Cluster
Rebel Cargo Ferry group Rongo receives a shipment of stolen Imperial munitions from Airam smugglers (two ships of CARG group Fanir) in the Ytha'ac Cluster when Imperial Gunboats, Gamma-class ATR-6 assault transports and TIE Avenger starfighters arrive to reclaim the containers.
Interdiction of Starfighter Deployment
ISD Dauntless has arrived at Deep Space Manufacturing Facility Sentinel in the Gaerboud system to receive newly produced TIE Avenger starfighters. Rebel starfighters attempt to destroy the TIE Avengers while they are being flown to the Dauntless by untrained workers. If the Rebel starfighters are unsuccessful in destroying enough "TIE Advanced" then their last option is to send in the frigate Rehz'nor which will send X-wings and Y-wings in an attempt to destroy the Dauntless.
Attack on Rebel Convoy near Athega
Imperial fighters attack Rebel CR90 corvettes (eleven ships of CRV group Athega) as they move through the Athega system.
Rescue from Imperial Prison Ship Dargon
In an attempt to free Rebel and Bothan spies, Rebel forces including CRS Columbia and ATR Typhoon attack the Dreadnought Dargon which is defended by VSD Callisto and TIE Avenger starfighters.
Hit and Fade on Elliirad Platform
During a starfighter attack against an Imperial Cargo Transfer Station in the Elliirad system the Rebels use Escort shuttle Upsilon with its feigned Imperial registry to deploy a demolition team to the platform in an attempt to sabotage the facility. During the attack, a number of Imperial freighters come under attack as well, namely the Cargo Ferries (CARG) Slainte, Lesyta, Rugin, Tanyay and the Modular Conveyors (CNVYR) Posi, Mhath, Luung and Weema.
Behind the scenes
"Quick Strike" is a "Battle" in the Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter computer game, i.e. a set of eight different missions grouped together without forming a coherent campaign; Battles do not follow a storyline and the missions have no clear chronological order.
Although the occurrence of the individual missions can be considered canonical, the outcome naturally depends on the player's actions. Therefore, the actual canonical outcome of each mission is unclear. It is safe to assume that no side achieved a lasting effect (such as the destruction of a starship) over the course of the Battle.
