Battle of Koros Major

The First Battle of Empress Teta, also known as the Battle of Koros Major, was one of the first direct major Republic military offensives against the Krath in the second year of the Great Sith War (3,997 BBY).

With reports of the atrocities committed by the Krath in the Koros system, including the coup led against the government, a Republic task force led by Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma and Nomi Sunrider was sent to depose the unlawful Dark Side rulers. The task force was immediately set upon by space grazers, large monsters created by Aleema Keto's Force-illusions, with numerous capital ships taking damage in the confusion. Luckily, Nomi was able to dispel Aleema's visions, and the command ship Reliance pushed forward and assaulted the primary Krath space-fortress headquarters. However, Satal Keto, seizing the opportunity from the lingering effects of the Force-illusions, sent squadrons of real Chaos Fighters on suicide missions to take out the Reliance. The kamikaze run succeeded in severely damaging the flagship, including the breaching of the forward bridge, severely injuring Ulic Qel-Droma in the process.

The mission was a massive loss for the Republic, the fleet severely damaged and retreating in disgrace.
