Battle of Abraxas

The Battle of Abraxas was one of the first engagements between the New Republic and the Galactic Empire after the Battle of Endor.

Admiral Nantz was given command of the First Fleet, tasked with operations in the galaxy's Western Reaches. He staged his campaign from the planet Saijo after the end of the Nagai-Tof War.

From there, Nantz took the First to Abraxas where the fleet engaged and destroyed the Eiattu pirates. The move was a show of force that was planned to keep two of the new Imperial warlords&mdash;Moff Utoxx Prentioch and Superior General Sander Delvardus&mdash;bottled up in their own territories. The tactic succeeded; Prentioch remained in the Bomis Koori system, while Delvardus guarded the borders of his fiefdom, the Eriadu Authority.
