Operation Stardust was a military campaign executed by Grand Admiral Morlok Adlerson under the Valak regime. Its goals were to divide the attention of the New Republic and to garner resources to finish the Death Star III. It was primarily focused around capturing Pride-1 for its strategic position as a trade nexus. The Empire succeeded in |capturing Pride-1 and began to harness its trade capabilities, which helped greatly in the Death Star project, but Pride-1 would eventually return to Griffon hands with the Second Battle of Pride-1.
