| - The Liberation of Gerrard V was an event in 1 ABY during the Galactic Civil War in which the planet Gerrard V gained its independence from the Galactic Empire. It occurred after a ransacking of the city by the local Imperial governor in anticipation of an uprising by Gerrard V's inhabitants against the Empire's rule. The insurgents were quickly reinforced by the Rebel Alliance, who deployed the starfighter outfits Rogue Squadron and Gold Squadron to disable the fleeing yachts and neutralize the capital city's turbolaser defense grid. During the course of the battle, Kasan Moor, commander of the 128th TIE Interceptor Squadron, surrendered to Gold Squadron and offered defection to the Rebellion. Shortly after her surrender, the rest of the Imperial defenders were scattered, and the planet was freed from Imperial subjugation. Because of Moor's later assistance, the battle would be the first victory in a long string of victories against the Galactic Empire.
