Huk War/Legends

The Huk War was a long conflict wages between the neighboring Kaleesh planet of Kalee and the Huk planet of Huk. Greivous led the Kaleesh army, and his campaigns made him infamous: he defeated every army thrown against him, and exterminated entire Huk planets.

However, he failed to predict that, instead of surrendering, the Huk would call upon the Republic for help. The Republic sided with the Huk, sent a taskforce of fifty Jedi Masters and Knights, and stalemated Greivous' efforts to win total victory. Because Huk was a rich planet, the Republic blamed the Kaleesh for the war, and placed an embargo and harsh sanctions on the Kaleesh.
