'They've no idea we're coming. They've no reason to expect us. If we can make it to the ground, we'll take the next chance, and the next, on and on until we win, or the chances are spent.'

―SergeantJyn Erso — Listen(file info)^[src]

The Battle of Scarif was the first major battle fought in 0 BBY between the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire, marking the beginning of the five-yearGalactic Civil War. The battle was preceded by years of attacks by the fledgling Rebel Alliance against the Empire and began the five-year period in which the Alliance successfully fought to replace the Galactic Empire with the New Republic.

Prior to the battle, Alliance Intelligence intercepted information suggesting that renowned scientistGalen Erso was building an Imperial superweapon capable of destroying entire planets. Alliance leadership sent Galen Erso's daughter, Jyn Erso, and CaptainCassian Andor to learn more about her father's involvement, and their subsequent efforts saw the Alliance discover the existence of the Death Star, as well as a fatal flaw in the design placed there by Galen Erso.

Though the Alliance High Command refused to openly oppose the Empire, Erso and Andor led a small unit of Rebel Marines and other allies and defied orders, taking it upon themselves to infiltrate the heavily-guarded Citadel Tower base on Scarif to retrieve the Death Star plans. Under the callsign Rogue One, the unit infiltrated Scarif's planetary shield in a stolen Zeta-class cargo shuttle and proceeded to wage a guerrilla assault on the Citadel's outskirts, drawing away Imperial forces so that Andor, Erso, and the droidK-2SO could infiltrate the facility. DirectorOrson Krennic, the former commander of the Death Star, attempted to stop Erso and Andor from stealing the plans, but the heavily-outnumbered Rebels received support from the Alliance Fleet under AdmiralRaddus, whose forces engaged the Imperial Star Destroyers above Scarif and worked to destroy the Shield Gate protecting the planet.

With the Shield Gate's destruction, Rogue One was able to transmit the stolen plans to the fleet above, though all remaining Rebel ground forces were eradicated by a low-powered blast from the newly-arrived Death Star that destroyed the Citadel and surrounding area. The Sith LordDarth Vader's forces made short work of the rebel ships that did not manage to retreat, but PrincessLeia Organa managed to escape the battle in the Tantive IV; Vader pursued her to the planet Tatooine and captured her there, but the plans were already out of his reach. The plans eventually found their way to the Alliance, who used them to pinpoint the Death Star's weakness and destroy it at the Battle of Yavin.

PreludeEdit

Revelation on JedhaEdit

'We call it the Death Star. There is no better name, and the day is coming soon when it will be unleashed. I've placed a weakness deep within the system. A flaw so small and powerful, they will never find it...the reactor module, that's the key. That's the place I've laid my trap. It's well hidden and unstable, one blast to any part of it will destroy the entire station. You'll need the plans, the structural plans for the Death Star to find the reactor. I know there's a complete engineering archive in the data vault at the Citadel Tower on Scarif. Any pressurized explosion to the reactor module will set off a chain reaction that will destroy the entire station...'

―Galen Erso explains the flaw he purposely installed in the Death Star via holomessage.^[src]

As the construction on the Death Star neared its completion, its designer, Galen Walton Erso (who was forcibly conscripted into working on the station by Orson Callan Krennic, who served as the Director of Advanced Weapons Research for the Galactic Empire as well as the chief overseer of the project) began to fear for what would happen if the superweapon was unleashed upon the galaxy. He gave a message to Bodhi Rook, a recently defected Imperial pilot, and instructed him to give the message to the Alliance, telling him to seek out Saw Gerrera, an old friend of his who lived on Jedha. Gerrera, however, had grown increasingly paranoid and doubted that Rook's defection was sincere, subjecting him to torture (via Bor Gullet) and imprisoning him.^[1]

The Alliance soon learned about Galen Erso's message and that Gerrera had intercepted it, and thus recruited Galen's daughter Jyn Erso (who had formerly been a member of Gerrera's Partisans) to convince Gerrera to turn it over to them. Accompanying Captain Cassian Jeron Andor and his droid K-2SO, and later being joined by Chirrut Îmwe and Baze Malbus, she went to Jedha and confronted Gerrera about the message from her father.^[1]

In the message, Galen explained that he had purposely designed the Death Star's reactor module to be unstable so that any kind of pressurized explosion to the module would set off a chain reaction that would destroy the station completely, but in order to locate it, they'd need a full set of plans, which were located in the data vault of the Citadel Tower on Scarif. Before the message could finish and Jyn could physically take it with her, the Death Star arrived and destroyedJedha City, with Gerrera dying in the resulting blast and forcing Jyn, Andor and their allies to withdraw before retrieving the message.^[1]

They then set off for the planet Eadu, where Galen was headquartered, to recover him and bring him to the Alliance so he could help them himself, but before they could, an Alliance starfightersquadron arrived and bombarded the Imperial complex where Galen worked, killing him.^[1]

Formation of Rogue OneEdit

'I'm not used to people sticking around when things go bad.'
'Welcome home.'

―Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor after Andor agress to go to Scarif with her. — Listen(file info)^[src]

After returning from Eadu, Jyn and Captain Andor participated in an Alliance Council meeting, where they told the gathered beings what they had learned about the Death Star, and that they needed to get the plans held at Scarif; however, most were skeptical that such a weapon existed, and those that believed it did were unconvinced that it had a deliberate weakness on account of the fact that the news came from a criminal who was the daughter of an Imperial engineer-and thought that it would be better to hide or surrender. Disheartened, Erso walked away from the meeting, only to find that Andor and many others - including Chirrut Îmwe, Baze Malbus, and Bodhi Rook - were still willing to go with her and fight. Together, they called themselves 'Rogue One' and undertook an unsanctioned mission to Scarif using the Imperial cargo shuttle that had been stolen earlier, and headed to planet.^[1]

Once there, Rook transmitted the shuttle's clearance codes, which got them through the planetary shield and onto the surface.^[1]

Around the same time, Director Krennic also returned to Scarif in order to have the command staff scour through any and all Death Star-related project files made by Galen Erso. Krennic's motive was to see if there were any irregularities, after Darth Vader informed Krennic that he could only earn Emperor Palpatine's favor if he proved that Erso didn't reveal anything regarding the Death Star's weaknesses to the Rebellion after the secrecy of the Death Star had been compromised with the destruction of Jedha City.^[1]

The battleEdit

Sneak attackEdit

'Make ten men feel like a hundred.'

―Captain Cassian Jeron Andor, to the soldiers of Rogue One^[src]

Aided by the element of surprise, Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor sent teams to set up a distraction to allow them to infiltrate the Citadel Tower and locate the plans. Erso and Andor, posing as Technician Kent Deezling and Lieutenant Colin Hakelia after knocking the two out and stealing their uniforms, proceeded to enter the security complex.^[13] They then lured a K-2X droid over to an isolated area so K-2SO could find the direct path to the plans via the droid's embedded map. K-2SO found the path and warned them that three squads of stormtroopers stood in their way. Andor then gave the Marines the order to detonate the explosives. The battle began with Rebel Marines setting off multiple explosives on the landing pads around the Scarif complex (shortly delayed by command center staff watching the explosions before Director Krennic ordered them to deploy the base garrison). This attracted many of the troopers at the base, providing Erso, Andor, and K-2SO the distraction they needed to get further inside the Citadel and search for the Death Star plans while the rest of Rogue One dealt with the complex garrison.^[1]

Sending ReinforcementsEdit

'Attention all flight personnel, please report to your commanders immediately. Attention all flight personnel, please report to your commanders immediately. We have been redirected to Scarif. Pilots, you’ll be briefed by your squadron leaders on route. May the Force be with you.'

―Wedge Antilles relays the new orders redirecting the Alliance Fleet to Scarif to support Rogue One.^[src]

After discovering the incursion, Grand MoffWilhuff Tarkin ordered GeneralHurst Romodi to prepare the battle station for a jump to hyperspace and to inform Lord Vader of the situation.^[1]

Rebel technician Tenzigo Weems soon intercepted an Imperial signal indicating the rebels had engaged Imperial forces on Scarif. Despite not receiving authorization to attack Scarif, Admiral Raddus decided to divert his ship, the Profundity (with the Tantive IV in tow), to the tropical planet. After being informed of the situation, Mon Mothma requested she speak with Raddus but was told he had returned to his ship in preparation for battle. Deciding to go through with the attack, the Alliance Fleet was scrambled and departed for the Outer Rim world.^[1]

Attacking the Shield GateEdit

'This is Gold Leader, we're starting our attack run on the shield gate. Keep it tight and watch out for those towers!'

―Captain Jon Vander, to the rebel fleet^[src]

Soon after, the rest of the Alliance fleet arrived to support the initial assault squadron. Following the arrival of the Alliance's fleet, Raddus ordered all squadron leaders to report in then assigned them duties; Red and Gold Squadrons were to defend the fleet, while Blue Squadron was ordered to get to the surface to reinforce those battling on the beaches. 12 X-wings, including Blue LeaderAntoc Merrick, and a single U-wing made it through the opening before Shield Gate control ordered the gate closed.^[16] 7 other X-Wings attempted to get through with the rest of their squadron but none of them made it; one was shot down, two were destroyed when they impacted the shield and the other four attempted to pull out but one was destroyed when it collided with the gate station. The remaining members of Blue Squadron in space, now consisting of 1 U-wing and 3 X-wings, brought down the bridge shield generators of a Star Destroyer along with one TIE fighter as they helped the rest of the rebel fleet. After Blue Squadron had made it through, Red Squadron attempted a diversionary attack on the Shield Gate by using 10 of their X-Wings to eliminate the defense turrets,^[16] losing a number of their ships in the process to enemy fire but inflicting severe damage to many of the turbolasers. This tactic drew the attention of several defense turrets, creating an opening for Gold Squadron to begin their attack run on the Shield Gate. Using 10 of their Y-Wings,^[16] Gold Leader (Captain Jon Vander) instructed his pilots to begin their initial bombardment, warning his pilots to use caution around the defense towers. Gold Squadron conducted several bombing runs on the shield gate, utilizing proton bombs in the process but lost 3 Y-Wings on the first run.^[16] The battle intensified as the Imperial forces launched TIE fighters in response from its Star Destroyers and the shield gate, which began to batter the rebel cruisers with laser fire and shooting down many starfighters, including Red Five (Pedrin Gaul). After seeing that there was no progress on that front, Admiral Raddus ordered the fleet to engage the Star Destroyers.^[1]

Infiltrating the towerEdit

'The Death Star plans are down there. Cassian, K-2 and I will find them. We'll find a way to find them.'

―Jyn Erso to the members of Rogue One.^[src]

Once inside the base, Andor, K-2SO, and Jyn made their way to the data vault. After disabling the technician, K-2SO began searching for the files as Andor and Erso entered the vault. After noticing the dead technician, a multitude of stormtroopers besieged the main archive room, while K-2SO managed to hold many of them off with a single blaster pistol. After withstanding heavy blaster fire, K-2SO located the Death Star plans and marked the canister. He then locked Erso and Andor in the vault to allow them enough time to retrieve the plans, and was subsequently destroyed fending off stormtroopers, taking down the archive room console in the process.^[1]

AT-ACT assaultEdit

Rogue One Battle Of Scarif Space

'Baze!…Baze!…run!'

―Chirrut Îmwe to Baze Malbus after hearing an AT-ACT approaching^[src]

As the rest of Rogue One held down the line, Chirrut Îmwe heard the sound of walkers headed their way. He yelled at Baze Malbus, who then turned around and saw an AT-ACT headed their way. Now outmatched due to the presence of the walkers, the Rebels were forced to fall back to the beach, with a number of them being cut down by fire from stormtroopers and the pursuing walkers. As the Rebels reached a beach and dug in, Baze fired a smart rocket at a pursuing AT-ACT, to no effect. However, right before it could obliterate their position the walker was fired on and destroyed by Blue Squadron's X-wings, which had arrived to provide support. Another walker was brought down by a U-wing when its door-mounted ion cannon disabled its legs and a third exploded when an X-wing fired on its open cargo bed.^[1]

ReinforcementsEdit

With Blue Squadron having made it through the shield gate, the Imperial air defenses were scrambled in order to defend the Citadel Tower from the rebel incursion. Rebel X-wings engaged the numerous TIE strikers stationed on Scarif, with both sides suffering substantial casualties. As the air battle raged on, Merrick ordered a U-wing gunship to reinforce the overwhelmed troops on the beach while the rest of the squadron defended them from Imperial fire. As the battle progressed, Director Krennic ordered the deployment of his Death trooper guard squadron via TIE/rp Reaper attack lander. The transport was escorted by TIE strikers which proved too much for General Merrick and resulted in his death. Rogue One continued to draw out the Imperial garrison, allowing Jyn and Cassian the time they needed to recover the plans. ^[1]

Flipping the master switchEdit

'There's a master switch at the base of the comm tower.'
'Master Switch? Describe. What are we looking for?'

―Stordan Tonc and Ruescott Melshi^[src]

Following this, Rook was tasked with opening the deflector shield so that the plans could be transmitted to the Alliance flagship above the planet. Bodhi directed Chirrut Îmwe and Baze Malbus to the master power switch for communications on Scarif. The two managed to turn off the signal disruptor, but perished doing so though not before killing the entire complement of Death Troopers sent against them. Rook managed to contact the Alliance flagship and told them they had to open the deflector shield to allow the Death Star plans to be transmitted to them. Shortly after, a thermal imploder was thrown into his ship, killing him and destroying the shuttle.^[1] Having received Rook's transmission, Raddus formulated a plan to break open the shield.

Krennic closes inEdit

'My father built a fuse in the middle of your machine, and I just told the whole galaxy how to light it.'

―Jyn Erso to Orson Krennic^[src]

Inside the Scarif Citadel Tower, Orson Krennic, along with two death troopers, opened a security door to the archive vault and began to shoot at Andor and Jyn. Andor managed to kill the two troopers, but was hit by Krennic, rendering him unconscious. Jyn continued her ascent to the escape hatch at the top of the vault and exited onto the roof of the Citadel Tower. On top of the base was the communications dish. After reorienting it, Jyn prepared to send the plans to the Rebel fleet when Krennic appeared. Whilst Krennic confronted her, declaring the Empire's inevitable victory, Andor regained consciousness and made his way to the roof of the station. Right before Krennic was about to kill Jyn, Andor shot the director. ^[1]

Taking down the shieldEdit

Far above, the Alliance Fleet was taking a significant beating. Although the rebel fleet scrambled its ships and defense cannons, endless waves of TIE fighters battered the rebel ships, destroying a GR-75 medium transport and damaging one of the Nebulon-B frigates, while the Profundity's shielding was reduced to half strength. Gold Leader gave an order for his squadron to form on his wing, informing them that a path had been cleared. Along with four of his squadron mates, Vander launched multiple ion torpedoes at a Star Destroyer, disabling it. Noticing the disabled capital ship, Admiral Raddus contacted a Sphyrna-class corvette and explained his plan to break open the shield.^[1]

The corvette he had chosen to carry out his plan was the Lightmaker, commanded by Kado Oquoné. The ship had earlier sustained heavy damage and was covering the line of retreat. Having evacuated all non-essential personnel, leaving a skeleton crew behind including Oquoné himself,^[9] the corvette rammed the disabled Destroyer and activated its sublight engines, sending it on a collision course for the other one. Admiral Gorin, seeing the incoming hazard, ordered full reverse thrust to avoid the collision, but it was too late. As the two Star Destroyers collided, they broke apart and fell towards Scarif, crashing into the orbital docking station that controlled the deflector shield, disabling it. With the shield down, Jyn and Andor were able to successfully transmit the Death Star plans to the Alliance flagship above Scarif.^[1]

Plans received and Vader arrivesEdit

'Your Highness, the transmission we received. What is it they’ve sent us?'
'Hope.'

―Exchange between PrincessLeia Organa and Captain Raymus Antilles regarding their retieval of the plans.^[src]

Immediately after the transmission of the plans, the Death Star exited hyperspace. Tarkin, aware of Darth Vader's impending arrival aboard the Devastator, chose to ignore the rebel ships and instead ordered a single reactor ignition aimed at the Citadel base on Scarif. Regaining consciousness on top of the Citadel Tower, Krennic looked up into the sky to see the Death Star looming over the base. Watched by the horrified Rebel fleet, the superlaser fired upon the surface. The beam vaporized the top third of the Citadel Tower, which was in its direct path, and impacted the surface several kilometers away. Soon after, everyone at the base (including Erso and Andor) along with the Imperial security complex, were vaporized and destroyed by the monumental aftereffects of the impact.^[1]

Once the Alliance forces received the Death Star schematics, they attempted to escape to hyperspace. Three CR90 corvettes, two GR-75 transports, one Hammerhead corvette— the Consonance— and a number of starfighters made the jump in time, but the others were intercepted by the Devastator as it suddenly emerged from hyperspace. Three Y-wings, two X-wings and a Dornean gunship successfully took evasive action to avoid crashing into it, but a GR-75 transport was obliterated as it crashed onto the Destroyer's hull when it couldn't pull away in time. Vader's flagship immediately opened up its forward batteries, aiming for the Profundity; one unfortunate Nebulon-B frigate was caught in the barrage instead and split in half under the sheer brute firepower. The Destroyer then turned its guns on the Profundity while the rest of the ships scattered. The flagship's already weakened shields gave way and the ship was crippled by further barrages.

After disabling the Profundity, Vader, along with a contingent of stormtroopers, boarded the ship in an attempt to regain the Death Star plans. The Rebels meanwhile managed to download a complete set of the plans onto a data disk and prepared to evacuate them on the Tantive IV. However, the Profundity experienced a sudden power loss as the troopers attempted to board the corvette, jamming an automatic door in the path of the Rebels. As they attempted to force the door, Vader caught up with them and proceeded to butcher the entire group. However the trooper holding the data disk managed to pass it to another soldier through a gap in the door before being impaled by Vader. The man to whom the plans had been passed managed to escape Vader as his colleagues gave their lives to slow the Dark Lord for a few precious moments. He dove through the corvette's airlock and screamed for it to be launched, and one of the other troopers disengaged the Profundity's hangar docking clamps, leaving Vader and the rest of the boarding party to watch as the Rebel ship escaped. The ship, captained by Raymus Antilles and carrying Princess and Senator Leia Organa, managed to jump to hyperspace before it could be intercepted by the Devestator, thus ending the Battle of Scarif.^[1] Vader and his party then left the Profundity, after which it was destroyed, killing Raddus and the rest of the Rebel crew.^[8]

Lego Battle On Scarif

AftermathEdit

'You are part of the Rebel Alliance, and a traitor! Take her away!'

―Darth Vader to Princess Leia^[src]

The Battle of Scarif was the first major victory for the fledgling Rebel Alliance^[2] and marked the official beginning of the Galactic Civil War.^[1] Having restrained itself from openly engaging the Empire, this was the first time the rebellion had deliberately deployed its fleet in open combat and though it took heavy losses, was able to hold its own. The theft of the plans was a major embarrassment to the Empire, and though few believed that they would reveal any weakness in the station, it was deemed imperative that the plans be returned.^[1]

With the Death Star plans in the hands of Princess Leia, the Tantive IV was pursued by the Devastator, where Vader personally oversaw the operation. The Devastator followed the Tantive IV to the desertworld of Tatooine, where Vader captured the princess and brought her to the Death Star. Imperial forces, meanwhile, searched for two droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, the former of whom held the Death Star plans. The droids came into the possession of Luke Skywalker, who, along with Jedi MasterObi-Wan Kenobi and the smuggling partners Han Solo and Chewbacca, made his way to the Death Star and rescued Organa. Although Kenobi was killed by Vader, his former apprentice, during the escape, the princess and the others traveled to the Rebel base on Yavin 4 and participated in the Battle of Yavin. The battle was conceived after the Rebels analyzed the Death Star plans and discovered the weakness-an exposed thermal exhaust port, which Luke Skywalker exploited to destroy the Death Star during the battle.^[2]

Behind the scenesEdit

'It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet.'

―The Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope opening crawl^[src]

The event that became the Battle of Scarif was first described in the opening crawl of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.^[2] The event is the central plot of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. In Star Wars Legends, the battle where the plans were stolen was identified as the Battle of Toprawa, while the operation as a whole was identified as Operation Skyhook.^[17]

Writer Gary Whitta originally pitched two different ideas for the battle's ending which ultimately went unused in the film. One included having Krennic surviving the Death Star's blast on Scarif unlike the Rebels only to be killed aboard a Star Destroyer by Darth Vader for failing to stop the Death Star plans theft, but was scrapped as Krennic's survival to the blast would have been too far-fetched.^[18] The other one required Darth Vader's presence on Scarif's surface, slaughtering through a Rebel blockade on his way to the Imperial security complex only to arrive too late, but was scrapped too in favor of Vader boarding the Profundity.^[19]

The first footage of the battle was shown in the Rogue One teaser trailer.^[20] The battle of Scarif made its first appearance in Star Wars Battlefront as a a free downloadable level available on December 6, 2016 for season pass holders.^[3] The battle made its first formal appearance with the release of the film, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.^[1]

Earlier plans for the Star Wars Rebels animated series included the idea of having the Spectres stealing the Death Star plans. These plans, however, were dropped by Dave Filoni after Rogue One entered in development, in addition to exclusively shift the focus on Ezra Bridger's story.^[21]

The fictional universe of the Star Wars franchise features multiple planets and moons. While only the feature films and selected other works are considered canon to the franchise since the 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm by The Walt Disney Company, some canon planets were first named or explored in works from the non-canon Star Wars expanded universe, now rebranded Star Wars Legends.

In the theatrical Star Wars films, many settings for scenes set on these planets and moons were filmed at real-world locations on Earth. For example, the resort city of Canto Bight located on the planet Cantonica, seen in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, was filmed in Dubrovnik, Croatia.^[1]

Similarities to real-world planets[edit]

The discovery of exoplanets in the real-world universe gained pace in the early 21st century. In 2015, the US space agency NASA published an article which stated that many of the newly discovered astronomical bodies possessed scientifically confirmed properties that are similar to planets in the fictional Star Wars universe.

Kepler-452b, a rocky super-Earth-type planet, is said to be similar to the Star Wars planet Coruscant. Likewise, the planets Kepler-16b and Kepler-453b, planets discovered orbitting binary stars probably resemble the desert world Tatooine. The hot, molten worlds of Kepler-10b and Kepler-78b are comparable to the volcanic planet Mustafar. OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb, a cold, remote exoplanet, is like the ice planet Hoth. Kepler-22b, thought by scientists to be an ocean planet, is compared to the planet Kamino.^[119] According to NASA, there are also similarities to Alderaan and Endor in the real-world universe.^[119]

Solar System[edit]

Two non-canonical works also feature the real-life Solar System's planets. Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas (1993) contains a feature, presented as a clip from a gossip column, in which a pair of Duros are abducted by humans and taken to 'Urthha' (Earth), where they create havoc by misunderstanding human objects and food. In issue #19 of the comic series Star Wars Tales (2004), the story 'Into the Great Unknown' finds Han Solo and Chewbacca in the Millennium Falcon, fleeing the Imperial Navy. They jump to hyperspace without doing calculations and find themselves in the middle of our Solar System, overpassing Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars while decelerating and landing in Northern America. Han is killed by Native Americans, and a mourning Chewbacca leaves the Falcon to live in the trees, where the natives believe him to be a sasquatch. In an epilogue set 126 years later, archaeologist Dr. Jones and his sidekick Shorty, searching for the sasquatch, find the Falcon and Han's remains.
