Battle at Ukio

The Battle of Ukio was a battle in the Thrawn Crisis of 9 ABY. Ukio, a major producer of agricultural supplies for the New Republic, was protected by a planetary shield. Grand Admiral Thrawn got around this by sneaking several cruisers under the shield, with more waiting outside. With the Dark Jedi coordinating the ships, the group of battleships outisde the shield fired, then, thanks to C'baoth's mind control technique, the other ships fired as soon as the first burst hit the shield. Thanks to the near-instantaneous timing, the people of Ukio believed Thrawn had developed a shield penetrating superweapon that could fit on a Star Destroyer. Rumor of this spread throughout the galaxy, although Talon Karrde, who had obtained a tape of the battle, disproved this.
