Battle of Balmorra

The Battle of Balmorra (10 ABY) was an Operation Shadow Hand battle between the factory world Balmorr and Executor Sedriss's forces. Balmorr had been targerted by the reborn Emperor Palpatine's Operation Shadow Hand for supporting the New Republic following his second death at the Battle of Pinnacle Base.

A fleet of Imperial-class Star Destroyers under the command of Sedriss onboard his flagship the Avenger approached Balmorra. Sedriss demanded that Beltane (the ruler of Balmorra) surrender. When Beltane refused, Sedriss unleashed his military forces on the plains of Balmorra, near the capital Bin Prime. Legions of Stormtroopers and SD-9 battle droids along with AT-STs were unleashed on the Balmorrans.

However, Balmorra was prepared for combat and unleashed the newly manufactured SD-10 battle droids and X-1 Vipers. These battle droids proved a match for the Imperial forces and the Imperials suffered heavy casaulties as a result. In response, Sedriss unleashed Shadow Droids which were also destroyed by the X-1 Vipers. After suffering heavy losses, Sedriss called off his attack in exchange for a shipment of the molecularly-shielded droids.
