Battle of Gyndine

The First Battle of Gyndine was an early battle of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. The planet Gyndine was quickly set up as a refugee planet during the initial war. Following the fall of Ord Mantell to the Yuuzhan Vong, many of the survivors came to Gyndine. However, the Vong did also, launching an assault on the planet soon afterwards. A large number of New Republic refugee ships were destroyed in the initial wave of the Vong attack - along with passengers - and the New Republic was forced to abandon the planet, its inhabitants, and the refugees.

After the battle ended the Yuuzhan Vong began to gradually teraform the planet, slowly killing off the refugees trapped on Gyndine.
