Batonn insurgency

"Civilian casualties outnumbered the insurgents at the time.''" "''Acceptable margins, Agent Kallus, for there are no longer rebels in that sector."

- ISB Agent Kallus and Governor Arihnda Pryce

A battle took place at Batonn sometime before the mission to Reklam Station. Thrawn was victorious in this battle which led to the Emperor promoting him to Grand Admiral.

The Battle
The first assault was conducted by the 103rd Task Force lead by Admiral Durril, on Scrim Island, which was deemed a failure, as Durril severely overestimated his abilities and resulted in the impairment of his flagship, the Judicator. The task was then later given to Admiral Thrawn, with the 96th Task Force, and emerged victorious.

Aftermath
"The Emperor recently promoted me after my victory at Batonn."

- Grand Admiral Thrawn

In recognition of his victory at Batonn, Thrawn was promoted to Grand Admiral by the Emperor, Darth Sidious. Soon thereafter, he and the Seventh Fleet that he commanded were tasked with eliminating the rebel threat in the Lothal sector.
