A battle was fought on Blacktar Cyst during the Galactic Civil War. The 61st Mobile Infantry unit of the Rebel Alliance's army was known to have taken part in the battle. Pol Andrissus was injured by shrapnel during the fighting and developed a stutter because of it.[1] The 204th Imperial Fighter Wing, including pilot Yrica Quell, fought in it. Later, during the Campaign in the Cerberon system, Quell, now part of the New Republic, traded stories with members of the company, including the battle.[3]

The battle was first mentioned in the 2015 novel Battlefront: Twilight Company, written by Alexander Freed.[1]
