The First Battle of Lok was a battle between the Trade Federation and the Lok Revernants following a space piracy operation. The Battle of Lok began in three stages.

Piracy above Lok
The battle began with a piracy operation in which a Trade Federation convoy was attacked by Nym in his Havoc. One super freighter was disabled and 4 other smaller freighters were destroyed, the rest managed to escape into hyperspace. When most of the scarab fighters were mopped up the Trade Federation had sent a Trade Federation Missle Frigate and two repair ships all of which were destroyed. The disabled freighter then released its cargo of droid starfighters all of which were destroyed. When the rest of th resistence was eliminated the freighter made a plumet for the planet Lok.

Retreival of cargo
When the freighter made a crash landing a Pirate Freighter at very low altitude and escorted by Pirate Speederbikes found the freighter and began unloading the cargo of the freighter. However the Trade Federation sent a strike force consisting of multiple AATs and Scarab Fighters to try and secure the downed freighter. A Trade Federation Recovery Freighter was spotted as well indicating a desire to recover the cargo. The Freighter was destroyed. Two Trade Federation Dropships attempted to fly in at low altitude and land nearby the crash landing but were destroyed before they could land. Nym then destroyed the AATs heading for the recovery operation. The Pirate freighter succesfully gathered the cargo, then went along a river nearby to head for a cave to avoid pursuit. Nym, along with the Speeder Bikes escorted the freighter to the cave where it would then arrive at Nym's Stronghold.

Assault at Nym's Stonghold
At nightime a Speeder Bike then crashed into a military convoy belonging to the Trade Federation heading for the Lok Revenants stronghold. Nym provided cover for the bases primary option of defense, the Inferno Turret, destroying two dropships before they deployed any tanks. Ground control reported that all scouts accounted for, except Jinkins. Nym managed to provide cover for Jinkins so that he could reach the base safely and get into his Freefall. Nym managed to destroy several waves of Trade Federation Bombers that were heading for the Inferno Turret. Nym also managed to destroy two more dropships before they could drop of any AMTs. Meanwhile back at the base it's defense perimiter was under heavy fire. Ground control then launched 3 Decoy freighters first to draw the Trade Federations attention. Nym managed to provide cover for all three of them while one of the Pirate Freighters took of. The other didn't due to an engine failure. Nym provided air support for the ground base defences destroying multiple tanks. When the second freighter managed to lift of it was then attacked by bombers and fighters and was destroyed. Nym then checked if the charges for the base were set, after confirmation the base was timed to self-destruct, during which a C-9979 landing craft landed in the center of the base and was destroyed in the explosion.

Aftermath
The Lok Reverants were driven out of thier home with strong losses, but they were still capable of reforming a resistence movement for at least ten years in the Karthakk system. To which, with the help of Jedi Master Adi Galia, they would be able to retake their home in at the Second Battle of Lok.

The Trade Federation also suffered potentially heavy losses. They turned the stronghold into a droid foundry and hanger and converted the surrounding area into refueling stations. They would have control over the place for ten years before losing it to the Lok Reverants.
