The Tortali Platform functioned as a supply depot within the Tortali system, situated in the Outer Rim Territories. This Imperial installation was a modified XQ3 Platform, boasting substantial weaponry and a complement of TIE/IN interceptors alongside TIE/sa bombers.
With the aim of obliterating the platform, the Rebel Alliance dispatched an attack group. This group comprised of T-65 X-wing starfighters and BTL Y-wing starfighters, supported by RZ-1 A-wing interceptors.
