Defiance Fleet

The Defiance Fleet was a large Rebel Cell. It was made up of several smaller rebels cells spread across the galaxy. In 2 BBY, all available cells that were found by Abee Exatag joined together to become one bigger threat to the Empire. The leaders of the smaller rebel cells all became high-ranking officers within the fleet.

The fleet found a base on the Outer Rim planet of Martupé.

Grand Moff Tarkin discovered the location of the base at the same time preparations were about to start to relocate from Martupé to Yavin IV. The Empire ambushed the fleet and a brutal and large battle broke out above the planet and on its surface. There were many rebel casualties. Several rebels were captured but support soon came in from Rebellion members from Yavin and some Defiance Fleet members were able to escape.
