The Batonn insurgents, a band of rebels active on the world of Batonn, were commanded by Nevil Cygni (also known as "Nightswan"). During the Imperial Era, they engaged in combat against Admiral Thrawn. These insurgents collaborated with other rebel factions in the Batonn sector, notably the Denash insurgents and the Sammun insurgents, during the Batonn sector insurgency. Imperial operations conducted on Batonn, Denash, and [Sammun] (/article/sammun)led to the complete elimination of the Batonn insurgents during the Batonn insurgency, effectively quelling all insurgent activity in the Batonn sector by 2 BBY.
The Batonn insurgents possessed a fleet consisting of a minimum of thirty medium-sized starships. This fleet included Gozanti-class cruisers, GR-75 medium transports, Imperial Support Vessels, at least one G9 Rigger-class light freighter, LAAT/le patrol gunships, a collection of other medium-sized vessels, and also RZ-1 A-wing interceptors, in addition to Nu-class attack/transport shuttles.
