The Andrasta provides cover and destroys some TIE’s as they all make the jump to hyperspace and meet up with a Rebel fleet to seek refuge.

Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance, or XWA, is the fourth game in the X-Wing computer game series, and is considered by most fans to be the sequel to Star Wars: TIE Fighter, and therefore the third part of a progressive trilogy. Though the multiplayer-focused Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter was the third game released in the series, its lack of story-driven campaigns was decried by fans.

X-Wing Alliance presents the story of Ace Azzameen, the youngest member of the Azzameen family, a neutral family of traders. The player assumes Ace's place in all of the missions in the game.

Although the game is considered a sequel, it takes place simultaneously with Star Wars: TIE Fighter, showing the whereabouts of the Rebellion during those events: it starts a little after the Battle of Hoth, crosses over with the Shadows of the Empire and ends with the Battle of Endor (TIE Fighter's expansion ends right before Endor).
