Fourth battle of Suurja

The Fourth Battle of Suurja was the final battle between the forces of the Galactic Republic and the Mandalorians over a six-week period in 3,964 BBY. During the course of this battle, the near-space naval defense cordon erected by Captain Saul Karath proved to be effectively designed and maintained, although the final result ended up being a declared stalemate between the Republic and Mandalorian forces, with the former falling back to the adjacent Tarnith Station.

Despite the Republic withdrawal, optimism that a Mandalorian defeat was still palpable, and afterward, government defense official Catronus Steffans issued a statement proclaiming, "[It's] only a matter of time before we begin pushing in the other direction."
