Nagai–Tof War

The Nagai/Tof War was a conflict between the newly formed Alliance of Free Planets and the extragalactic invaders of the Nagai and later the Tof species. The actions of the Nagai very nearly stopped the formation of a new Galactic government in the Alliance of Free Planets and marked the first widespread appearance of the new Dark Lady of the Sith Lumiya.

Origins
In 296 BBY, the Nagai were a peaceful culture with beautiful cities of gleaming crystal and wire. The Nagai hailed from the planet Nagi which resided in a dwarf galaxy that orbited tightly around the Galaxy. The government of Nagi consisted of social circles into which individual Nagai were born into. These circles were broken down into series of sub-circles from which advancement was possible through tests of physical talent. At this height of technological achievement, the Nagai had just discovered the technology of hyperspace and sent an unmanned probe to chart their five-planet star system. This act would change Nagai history forever.

A Tof warship picked up the craft on their sensors and tracked its course back to Nagi. The Tof found the Nagai unprepared for attack and immediately unleashed an invasion force against the Nagai. The Nagai were caught completely by surprise and many Nagai were enslaved by the Tof. The Nagai system of government broke down as whole sub-circles of the government were annihilated by the Tof. However, the Nagai fighting spirit proved more resilient than the Tof had realized and the Nagai began to fight back. They devoted all resources to improving their defenses and attack forces and vowed to never again be found helpless by a superior force.

To get away from the Tof and in an effort to restart their shattered civilization, the Nagai began to send scouts to find targets for conquest. One such scout was Krai H'voc who ended up scouting the Corellian sector. She reported back to her masters that the galaxy was at war and advised to attack at the conclusion of the conflict so as to take the weakened victor by surprise. The Nagai continued to fight the Tof and patiently waited until the time was right.

Preliminaries
In 4 ABY, the Rebellion struck a huge blow to the Galactic Empire by killing the Emperor and destroying the Death Star II. The Nagai decided that this was the time to strike. Early task forces of Nagai invaded and attacked several small planets in an effort to make way for the main force of the Nagai fleet.

The newly formed Alliance of Free Planets first discovered the Nagai on the planet of Kashyyyk where Commander Ozrei N'takkilomandrife had formed a slave trade. The efforts of the Alliance stopped the slavers, but they soon had their hands full when another Nagai taskforce tried to capture the leadership on the planet Kabray. Alliance forces were once again successful in defeating the Nagai but they were soon to have a much larger force to deal with.

The War Escalates
The Dark Lady Lumiya recognized the Nagai as a means to the destruction of her enemies and allied herself and her forces with the Nagai. Lieutenant Den Siva was assigned as an aide to Lumiya and she made preparations for the Nagai fleet to attack the Alliance of Free Planets. Platoons of stormtroopers returned with the Nagai back to their home galaxy and helped guide their fleet back to a staging point on Kinooine. Meanwhile, an Alliance taskforce that had been specifically trained by Luke Skywalker found their way to Kinooine and were subsequently slaughtered by Lumiya and Siva. Skywalker investigated the disapperance of the missing team and witnessed firsthand the arrival of the Nagai fleet.

With the support of the Empire and their main fleet, the Nagai began to initiate all-out war against the Alliance, attacking the worlds of Saijo, Mandalore, and Iskalon. The war escalated to its height at the Battle of Endor when forces led by Lumiya and the Nagai fleet nearly succeeded in eliminating the Alliance leadership and destroying the core of the Alliance navy.

Return of "the Old Enemy"
Unfortunately for the Nagai, the Tof eventually succeeded in tracking the Nagai to Alliance space. The Tof fleet engaged the Nagai Twelfth Squadron on Trenwyth and utterly annihilated them. No prisoners were taken and officially, all lives were lost. The Nagai were unprepared for the return of their old enemy and were in a poor position to deal with them. On the planet of Zeltros, a Nagai force led by Den Siva was leading a Nagai force against Alliance forces when they were caught off-guard by the Tof and quickly captured. Only through the combined efforts of both the Alliance and the Nagai were the Tof beaten.

Changing sides
The return of the Tof helped dismantle the Nagai's plan for galactic domination and they allied with the Alliance of Free Planets to defeat the Tof. At the same time, the Imperials under Lumiya allied with the Tofs in a continued effort to destroy the Alliance of Free Planets. The war continued to rage, this time with the Nagai and the Alliance grouping together to defeat the Tof war machine. Eventually, the Nagai pushed the Tof all the way back to their established base on Saijo. A combined Nagai, Alliance and Mandalorian army struck hard at the Battle of Saijo, crippling the Tof ships and capturing the Tof prince Sereno.

Aftermath
The Alliance of Free Planets reformed itself into the New Republic and offered the Nagai full membership in the new galactic government. The New Republic offered to rebuild the world of Saijo as a new homeworld for the Nagai so that they could live in peace. However, the Nagai decided to set out to find their own world, and returned to liberate Nagi from the Tofs still reigning there. The Mandalorians under Fenn Shysa joined the Nagai in their fight to liberate Nagi and left New Republic space for a time.

Several Nagai decided to stay in New Republic space and became well known for their fighting techniques in local fighting arenas. Nagai forces eventually liberated Nagi, and Fenn Shysa returned to defend his homeworld.
