Battle of Helska IV

Deciding to engage and guage the enemy forces, the New Republic entered the Second Battle of Helska.

A "stylus" ship, piloted by Jacen Solo, was carried by the Merry Miner, piloted by Jaina Solo, towards the ice planet of Helska IV. The plan was to burrow beneath the surface and see how big the enemy forces were. They stylus ship was dropped off at the planet, but the Merry Miner was engaged by enemy Coralskippers. At that time, the New Republic force, led by Warshack Rojo, arrived in-system, along with the Millenium Falcon, and Jade Sabre.

However, the New Republic was overwhelmed, as they underestimated the Yuuzhan Vong force. The Yammosk was binding the soldiers together telepathically, making them fight as one. With this level of coordination, the Rejuvenator, along with the Ranger-class gunships in battle, were destroyed.

Before the battle ended however, Jacen Solo managed to infiltrate the Yuuzhan Vong base, and save Danni Quee, but Miko Reglia died saving Jacen. Jacen and Danni escaped aboard the stylus ship, which was picked up by Jaina and brought back to Dubrillion. The remaining Republic forces retreated.
