"Too many questions,Aryn. I've got engspice aboard.They'll seize the ship and arrest us both.We have to go.Now."

- Zeerid Korr to Aryn Leneer during the skirmish

A short but intense battle, the Skirmish in Yinta Lake spaceport was a clash fought over engspice. In 3,653 BBY,during the Great Galactic War, a man by the name of Zeerid Korr had some engspice to smuggle, but another man by the name of Vrath Xizor wanted to get it. They met in the Yinta Lake spaceport on the planet Vulta and a short battle ensued.

Prelude
In 3,653 BBY,a smuggler by the name of Zeerid Korr had a load of engspice that he had to get to Coruscant for the Exchange. But, Vrath Xizor&mdash;a mercenary hired by the Hutt Cartel&mdash;had to stop him so the Hutts could corner the market in engspice. So, when Zeerid and Aryn Leneer&mdash;a rogue Jedi needing to get to Coruscant&mdash;showed up at the Yinta Lake spaceport on the planet Vulta to take off in Korr's starship,Fatman, Xizor and his men was there to attempt to stop them.

Main battle
Although Zeerid knew they were being followed, he didn't know it would be an all out battle until Vrath shouted for everyone to get down and then started blasting. Zeerid shot one of the men right away then pulled Aryn behind a droid. Although Aryn was deflecting many shots with her green lightsaber, Zeerid was shot in the boot, in the chest, and in his shoulder. However, he was only bruised thanks to some good armor. When shot in the shoulder, Zeerid lost his blaster. He then pulled out the E-9 blaster he kept in the small of his back. Aryn helped him up while still deflecting shots with her green lightsaber, and they dashed for Fatman. Another man tried to stop them from getting to the landing pad, yet Aryn deflected both of his shots, and Zeerid shot him in the brow. They then dashed into the landing pad away from the wounded civilians. More shots were fired in the landing pad Aryn was now shot in the calf. A human male in an unmarked open-topped speeder flew at them shooting. Zeerid returned fire, but it did no damage. It did distract the driver long enough, though, that Zeerid and Aryn made it inside Fatman.

Conclusion
Zeerid Korr and Aryn Leneer finally escaped with the engspice still inside.
