Skirmish above a luminous lake
Approximately two weeks after the Battle of Endor, Rogue Squadron engaged in a skirmish above a luminous lake with TIE Series starfighters of the Galactic Empire.[1] The Rogues were flying for the Alliance of Free Planets,[2] which had been declared by the Rebel Alliance just after Endor.[3] In a dark night sky, Rogue Leader Wedge Antilles clipped a TIE, which shorted out the engines and instruments of his X-wing fighter and forced him into a crash landing. The pitch blackness of the night worried him, but luckily, luminous fish guided him to a lake below. The rest of the Rogues took care of the remaining TIE contingent, and a Y-wing rescued Antilles and brought him to a waiting EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate, where his fellow pilots ribbed him about his perennial luck. The incident was bittersweet for Antilles, however, as he ended up reflecting on a time in his life when he had not felt so lucky—the death of his youthful girlfriend Mala.[1]
