Battle of Commenor (Yuuzhan Vong War)

The Battle of Commenor, between Commenorian Guard units and Yuuzhan Vong warriors, is an event in the New Jedi Order series of novels.

The Front was heavily guarded by New Republic Commenorian battle cruisers. The Yuuzhan Vong, an invading force, need to get through the pass to get to Coruscant, but they have to refuel. The nearest planet, Borleias, is in the Oborim Cluster. The battle begins when Vong vessels make an all out frontal attack on the Commenorian guards, causing tremendous damage.

The leader of the Commenorian Guards, Harg Bragon, tried to attack the main Yuuzhan Vong cruiser. Unfortunately, Shirimi, the Vong commander, saw this and counterattacked. Harg's ship exploded in the attack. Commenorian guards and troopers in the air were overwhelmed by Vong cruisers and battleships. The Commenorian second-in-command, Dragnas Fa, sended in two reserves to help in the front line of the battle, to no avail. Even though reinforcements arrive, Vong ships attacked the flank of the Commenorian Guard fleet, causing them to fall back to the Oborim Comet Cluster itself. The Guard ships flew into the comets; half the Guard fleet was destroyed and the rest is scattered. Dragnas Fa was killed when he tried to flee the battle, after his ship crashed into a comet. After the battle, the Vong fleet refueled at Borleias before proceeding to attack Coruscant.
