Battle of Kashyyyk (Second Imperium Crisis)

The Raid on Thikkiiana City occured in 23 ABY during the Shadow Academy Crisis when the Second Imperium and the Shadow Academy raided Thikkiana City (a major exporter of computer technology in the New Republic) on Kashyyyk to steal its valuable computer units for their war effort.

Prior to the battle, the Jedi trainees Jacen, Jaina Solo, Tenel Ka and their Wookiee classmate Lowbacca arrived on Kashyyyk to assist Lowie's younger sister Sirrakuk who was going to undergo a dangerous Wookiee ritual. During their trip, the Jedi trainees visited Kashyyyk's tree cities and the computer fabrication plant on Thikkiiana City.

However, their trip was interrupted by the arrival of a Second Imperium taskforce consisting of Dark Jedi trainees, Nightsisters and Stormtroopers under the new Darkest Knight Zekk and the Nightsister Tamith Kai. The Imperials raided Thikkiiana City's computer fabrication plant and stole computer units.

During the battle, the Jedi trainees helped the native Wookiee defenders to fight off the invading Imperials. Jaina also slew the Nightsister Garowyn during the confrontation while another Nightsister Vonnda Ra was devoured by a massive syren palnt in the dangerous jungle underworld. Jaina also faced off with her former friend Zekk deep in the surrounding jungle. However, despite his indoctrination, Zekk was not able to bring himself to kill her and instead warned her that the Jedi Praxeum on the jungle moon of Yavin 4 was the next target of the Imperium before leaving.

Having acquired the equipment they needed, the Second Imperium force left Kashyyyk. Meanwhile, the Jedi trainees left Kashyyyk on their transport Shadow Chaser and fled to the Jedi Praxeum to warn of the impending attack.
