A brief battle occurred on the planet of Takodana. This clash involved Imperial troops against General Han Solo from the New Republic. The smuggler, aided by the defector Ralsius Paldora, was in search of data cubes hidden within a forest. These cubes held vital information for both the Republic and for the effort to liberate the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk. Although Imperial forces intercepted the general, the timely arrival of Inferno Squad enabled Han to escape with the crucial intelligence.
Han Solo's presence on the planet was to locate Paldora, a former Imperial statistician in possession of two highly valuable data chips. One chip contained a comprehensive list detailing fleet movements, resupply depots, and concealed armaments. The other chip held information crucial for Solo's mission to liberate Kashyyyk. After conversing with various individuals inside Takodana Castle, Han received information that he was a bearded man drinking Merenzane Gold on the top floor. Upon locating Paldora, Han discreetly led him into the forest with the purpose of finding the data cubes. The Empire, fearing the Republic's discovery of their weakened state, dispatched multiple shuttles to prevent the information from being leaked.
The initial discovery by Han and Paldora was the Imperial fleet logistics card, protected by several stormtroopers. Subsequently, they ventured deeper into the forest, seeking the shrine where the Kashyyyk disk was located. After retrieving both disks, the pair boarded the Falcon and initiated their launch sequence. In an attempt to prevent their escape, the Empire deployed an Arquitens-class command cruiser accompanied by a squadron of TIE fighters. Ultimately, the Imperials were defeated thanks to the intervention of Inferno Squad.
