Battle of Basilisk

The Battle of Basilisk was fought immediately before the Sith War. On the world of Basilisk, the Mandalorians began their holy crusade against the Basaliskans. Even with Republic reinforcements, the Basaliskans were outmatched and poisoned their own planet in a last ditch effort to drive away the invaders. The Mandalorians abandoned the planet, but succeeded in capturing a large group of Basaliskans. These creatures would later become the Lagartoz War Dragons. The battle claimed the life of Jedi Master Sidrona Diath.
