"As his brother, it was my sworn duty to stop him."
―X2[src]

The Battle of Mustafar (Galactic Civil War) was a battle on Mustafar that occurred between the forces of the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant. The clone trooper-turned Jedi Knight X2 led soldiers against his brother, the Sith Lord X1 to destroy his laboratory of insane clones. The New Republic troops defeated the Imperials on the planet, and X2 killed his brother.

Prelude

"Skywalker went ahead, but somehow X1 managed to capture him."
―Shara[src]

X2 and Grey Squadron had tracked X1 to Bast Castle on Vjun and had infiltrated the fortress. X1 escaped to his cloning laboratory on Mustafar, but by finding a holocron, X2 was able to track his brother. X2 and Grey Squadron traveled to the fiery world in order to find him and bring him to justice.

The battle

The New Republic forces attacked the Remnant's Star Destroyer fleet in search of the captured Luke Skywalker. Soldiers then boarded the Star Destroyer and after fighting off resistance, destroyed it and preceded to the planet surface.

X2 then landed on the planet with the support of Republic soldiers. They were attacked by a group of stormtroopers and other Imperial forces Including Those of Gizor Dellsos Rebellion, while above them X-wings and TIE fighters were still fighting. X1 was using his clone facility on the planet to try and make a clone of Skywalker, and released his clones of Wookiees to try and hold off X2.

Brother against brother

Template:Dialogue error: no 'attr' argument was specified. X2 saw X1, and they exchanged a few words. X1 now looked similar to the Emperor, Palpatine. X2 got the upper hand in the duel and had a chance to kill his brother. However, he refused to kill him. X1, using a force pull, tried to impale X2 with his lightsaber. X2 jumped over the blow and X1 impaled himself, before falling into the lava of the planet's surface.

Aftermath

"Luke was saved. But the struggle for freedom was not over yet. There would be new battles, and new challenges. And the Jedi would meet them all..."
―X2 after the victory on Mustafar.[src]

X2, Luke Skywalker, and the New Republic troops returned to their frigate, preparing for all the challenges of the New Jedi Order and whatever else lay ahead.
