Rebel Alliance

The Rebel fleet was decimated by the arrival of Darth Vader's Star Destroyer who began a boarding action on the disabled command ship. Crewmembers managed to take the stolen Death Star plans to the corvette docked inside which then lanched to escape capture thus starting a search by Darth Vader for the schematics. Leia who was on the ship was given the plans where she believed that it represented hope against the Empire.
