Battle of Dantooine (Yuuzhan Vong War)

The Battle of Dantooine (Yuuzhan Vong invasion) was a battle on Dantooine between the New Republic and the Yuuzhan Vong. It was during this battle that Chazrach slave soldiers were first unleashed on the New Republic. Two months after the events of Vector Prime, New Republic forces (including Luke, Leia, Jacen and Anakin) landed on the planet to try to evade the extragalactic Yuuzhan Vong invaders. Refugees from conquered worlds were also brought to Dantooine and a refugee camp had been established.

The battle began after Leia Organa Solo and Mara Jade Skywalker discovered that Yuuzhan Vong warriors had infiltrated the refugee camp through the use of Ooglith Masquers. These infiltrators begin slaughtering the helpless refugees. During the struggle, Leia's loyal Noghri bodyguard Bolphur is murdered. Meanwhile, a massive Chazrach assault force approaches the camp. Despite its sheer size, the Jedi Knights including Anakin and Jacen Solo discover that these reptoids are easy to defeat. However, the number of Chazrach is numerous with the Yuuzhan Vong gaining the upper hand over the New Republic forces.

Later, Luke discovers that the Chazrach are controlled by a ground vehicle shaped liked a beetle known as a Thrall herder. The vehicle was equipped with dovin basals which could create a miniature black hole that could intercept missiles and laser blasts. Luke manages to destroy the vehicle by seizing the black-hole shield generated by the Dovin basals and firing a volley of torpedoes where the shields are not placed. As a result, the Chazrach assault force is scattered and begins attacking everything that moves including each other.

Many soldiers and refugees are killed during the onslaught. EVentually Admiral Kre'frey turns up with a task force, though there is a Koros-strohna worldship in orbit, preventing escape into space. Despite this, the New Republic manages to evacuate the refugees off Dantooine. The Yuuzhan Vong then took over Dantooine.
