Battle of Humbarine

The Battle of Humbarine was a battle between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars.

Humbarine was an ancient ecumenopolis and a Core Founder. The planet was also loyal to the Republic during the Clone Wars, thus making it a target for the Separatists.

Some time following the conquest of Duro, a CIS fleet under General Grievous's flagship Invisible Hand launched an assault on Humbarine. This included an hour-long orbital bombardment that melted the crust of the planet, thus destroying the planetwide metropolis and killing much of the population.

This battle, along with CIS assaults on 26 strategic Loyalist worlds in the Core and the release of the Loedorvian Brain Plague into the Weemell Sector (which wiped out almost every Human there), may have contributed to much of the Humanocentric policies of the Galactic Empire.
