Battle of Nal Hutta

The First Battle of Nal Hutta was a battle during the Yuuzhan Vong War.

After the disaster at Fondor, the Yuuzhan Vong concluded that the Hutts were no longer reliable allies. Seeking just retaliation&mdash;and to shore up his status for his role at Fondor&mdash;Nas Choka, the Supreme Commander of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet, lead an assault on Nal Hutta.

The Yuuzhan Vong pounded Nal Hutta and Nar Shaddaa, the moon of Nal Hutta, from orbit, unleashing massive destruction. The Yuuzhan Vong also unleashed bacteria, one designed to break down metallic structures, the other to attack the Hutts formidable immune systems. The Yuuzhan Vong also invaded the planet with their warriors, only to be attacked by antique war droids that had once belonged to Xim the Despot, and had been preserved by the Hutts as a last defense. The ancient droids eventually perished, but not before slaying thousands of Yuuzhan Vong warriors. Eventually, the Hutts fled the planet, relocating to Tatooine, outside of Hutt Space. The Yuuzhan Vong then began to Vongform Nal Hutta and Nar Shaddaa to suit their own needs, and began a full invasion of Hutt Space. This led to the formation of the Hutt underground.

Nas Choka's campaigns in Hutt Space would continue even after the Fall of Coruscant, and he would endure numerous victories, thus raising his status among the Warrior caste. His successes would eventually cause Shimrra Jamaane, the Supreme Overlord of the Yuuzhan Vong, to escalate him to Warmaster after the death of Tsavong Lah.
