Battle of Phaeda

The Battle of Phaeda occured in 11 ABY. After the Battle of Yinchorr, Kir Kanos escaped to the relatively quiet world of Phaeda. After killing several Imperial officers and an entire stormtrooper squad in a cantina brawl, Kanos was led to a New Republic safehouse by Tem Merkon, who then intorduced him to Commander [[Mirith Sinn], the leader of the undercover Republic cell on Phaeda.

However, word of the disturbance spread to the local Imperial commander, Colonel Xexus Shev, and afterwards to Central Commnad, where Redd Wessel notified Carnor Jax. Jax ordered Shev's forces to stand down while his personal fleet arrived, but Shev - eager to have something to show Jax to prevent him from noticing the corrupt and incompetent Phaeda garrison - attacked the Republic cell after the traitorous Merkon showed him the location.

Attacking with his forces in a flanking manuever, Shev at first overpowered and surprised the New Republic base. However, Kanos - in full Royal Guard armor - lept into combat, killing scores of Imperials and turning the tide of battle, even saving Sinn when a TIE interceptor was about to kill her.

The revelation of their base led to Sinn to order an evacuation of the planet.
