After the destruction of the Death Star in the Battle of Yavin, the TIE Fighter fought to escape Yavin 4, the fourth moon of Yavin Prime, known for its strong gravity and thick atmosphere. Wall-modeled large-eddy simulation of the TIE Fighter at a Mach number of 1.15 and a Reynolds number of 10e8 are conducted to visualize contours of the pressure during the escape from the Battle of Yavin.
