Battle of Kr

The Battle of Kr was a battle which took place on Kr during the Dark Nest Crisis in 35 ABY between the New Jedi Order and Gorog the Dark Nest.

Pre-Battle
After the study by Jedi Master Healer Cilghal, the Jedi concluded that Gorog the "Dark Nest" was a secret nest within the Killiks Colony, commanded by Nightsister Lomi Plo and Dark Jedi Welk, which determined to open war against the Chiss Ascendancy by manipulating UnuThul and the Unu hive with the Force. The Jedi planned to root out and eliminate the Dark Nest so that the crisis between the Chiss and the Killiks could be peacefully resolve. Gorog Joiner, former Jedi Knight Alema Rar was allowed to flee the Jedi Praxeum on Ossus with a captured Gorog assassin, with the Jedi taskforce followed closely behind.

The Battle
Alema and Gorog fled to Kr, the moon of the planet Qoribu which held the Taat nest. Jedi Masters Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker followed close behind in StealthX starfighters. The Skywalkers encounter heavy dartship resistance and were forced to land. There the Skywalkers stormed into the Gorog nest, occassionally ambushed by Gorog warriors, while the couple fought deeper and deeper into the nest.

The Millennium Falcon arrived at Qoribu but was detected by the fleets of the Chiss Ascendancy and the Hapes Consortium. Commander Jagged Fel of the Chiss and Dukat Aleson Gray of the Hapes refused to believe Leia Organa Solo's claim that the Jedi could end the crisis. As the Hapes fleet moved to advance position to "help the Jedi on Kr", the Chiss moved it as well and triggered the Second Battle of Qoribu. The Falcon was temporary under enemy fires from both side until C-3PO declared their neutrality in the conflict.

The Falcon blasted through a swarm of dartships with its repulsion beam and landed on Kr, deploying the Solo couple, Jedi Masters Saba Sebatyne, Kyp Durron, Kyle Katarn, Octa Ramis and four YVH 5-S Bugcruncher war droids. The reinforcement fought their way against Gorog warriors to join forces with the Skywalker couple.

The battle intensified as Luke and Mara dueled with Alema Rar, Welk and the Gorog assassin respectively, the Force darkened as the Skywalkers used Force Choke and Force lightning against their enemies. A mysterious attacker drew away the power cells of the Jedi lightsabers and blasters, and slowing down the motion of Luke. Although Luke was convinced that it was Lomi Plo, the Jedi could not find her. Sensing the path of the Jedi had gone wrong, Luke refused to use anymore dark side power and outwitted the Dark Jedi. The battle ended with Mara defeating the Gorog assassin, which was killed by Welk who attempted to blow Mara away with the insect's explosion; Luke captured Welk and injured Alema, but the Twi'lek fled; Lomi Plo was no where to be found. Numerous Gorog warriors were killed in the battle, with the Jedi losing two Bugcrunchers.

Aftermath
The Falcon left in the landing site was under enemy fire with the Noghri Cakhmaim and Meewalh defending the ship. Jaina Solo and Zekk arrived and killed the attackers with their StealthX, while Jae Juun and Tarfang attempted to hijack the Falcon. C-3PO issued an emergency call but was shut down. UnuThul moved his flagship to Kr as the battle of Qoribu stabilized.

Leia then showed UnuThul the Dark Nest, its captive room which killed Chiss captives to feed the Gorog, and the captured Welk. Leia proposed a compromise to the Colony and the Chiss, which was accepted by both sides and led to the signing of the Qoribu Truce.
