admiral ackbar was the first non-human character shown in a leadership position in the "star wars" films. in "return of the jedi", when rebel spies discovered plans for a partially constructed second death star, ackbar and rebel alliance leader mon mothma planned a surprise assault on the battle station as it orbited the forest moon of endor. the attack, known as the battle of endor, involved general han solo leading a strike team on the moon's surface to destroy the death star's energy shield generator, while ackbar and general lando calrissian led a space battle against the station itself. ackbar personally led the assault from his flagship, the mon calamari cruiser "home one". the attack did not go as planned, however, because emperor palpatine was expecting the assault and had in fact allowed the death star plans to fall into rebel hands. on palpatine's order, imperial forces launched a massive counterattack against the rebel fleet with tie starfighters and star destroyer capital ships, which led ackbar to realize it was a trap. he initially called for a tactical retreat, but calrissian convinced him to move forward with the attack and give solo's team more time to destroy the energy shield. the rebel forces suffered heavy casualties, but ultimately succeeded in destroying the second death star and defeating the empire.
