Battle of Kuat (Second Galactic Civil War)

The Fifth Battle of Kuat was fought in 40 ABY between members of the Galactic Alliance Fifth Fleet commanded by Jacen Solo and the Confederation.

Jacen Solo had a vision that a decisive battle was going to be fought at Kuat and if the Confederation were to win, they would immediately head for Coruscant.

The battle had lasted for a week and was fairly evenly matched. Jacen desperately needed for the Jedi to arrive and turn the tide of the battle in his favour. The plan was for Luke Skywalker to take a number of StealthX craft, unload a number of shadow bombs at the Corellian contingent, whip around and hit the Bothan ships and leave the battle.

Luke, who was still grieving for the loss of Mara, used his recently learned the skill of Force Concealment and snuck up on the Sith Lord. After a brief conversation relating to Jacen's recent move against the Jedi Academy on Ossus, Luke departed the ''Anakin Solo and decided to leave the battle leaving Jacen to his fate.

Outraged at this betrayal, Jacen was struck with a sudden brainwave. Both the Galactic Alliance and the Confederation were courting Kashyyyk in earnest - whomsoever could convince the Wookiees to add their sizeable fleet to their own would certainly defeat the other. He took the Anakin Solo to Kashyyyk and decided to attack the planet thus drawing off the Confederate attack on Kuat.
