Battle of Moralan

During the Hutt–Xim conflict the Hutt species reconquered the planet Moralan after the Moralan species who lived there freed themselves from Hutt slavery. Boonta Hestilic Shad'ruu lead the Hutt forces to victory in the battle and the Moralan's homeworld was sterilised as punishment leading to the extinction of the species.

The battle
During the Hutt–Xim conflict between the Hutt species of Hutt Space and the Tionese forces of Xim from the Tion Hegemony in the period between 25,102 BBY and 25,096 BBY, the Hutt forces reconquered the planet Moralan within Hutt Space after it freed itself from Hutt slavery. The planet's native species&mdash;the Moralans, had been previously enslaved by the Hutts but freed themselves and formed a republic when they received encouragement from Tionese forces, which entered the Moralan system during the conflict. After the Second Battle of Vontor where Xim's forces lost to the Hutts on the planet Vontor, the Tionese withdrew from the Moralan system and the Hutts returned. Lead by Boonta Hestilic Shad'ruu the Hutt forces fought for three days against the forces of the Parliament of Moralan, the body that controlled their new republic, eventually emerging victorious over the Moralans. As punishment for their rebellion the Moralan homeworld was sterilised and the species driven extinct. Boonta's victory against the Moralans was later celebrated with a holiday named after him&mdash;Boonta's Eve, which lasted three days just as the battle had.
