Battle for Dantooine

The Battle for Dantooine was a large battle that took place in 106 ABY on the surface of New Imperial-controlled Dantooine. It was one of the few battles in the Jedi/Imperial War that Wookiee Sith Lord Darth Katos fought in. While the battle took place, the Battle Over Dantooine took place in the planets orbit above. During the battle, Ade Viscus engaged the Sith Lord in a lightsaber duel, but was killed by Katos in the end. Even after Katos was imprisoned, Dantooine remained incontrol of the New Galactic Empire and served as a recruitment center shortly before the beginning of the Second War of Mandalore.

The Battle
Jedi Knight and General Ade Viscus led Jedi and New Republic soldiers into battle on the planets surface. The New Republic knew that New Imperial Council member, Ornell Graccau, was inside the New Imperial base and one of the goals was to capture the Bith Admiral. Realizing the Jedi's plot to capture Graccau, Darth Katos entered the battle field alongside Captain Neita Malar, and took on the Jedi and New Republic forces head-on. While both forces fought valiantly, it did not stop their tremendous losses from piling up.

Katos vs. Main
During the battle, Jedi Knight and General Tori Main met with Malar and the two found themselves in a fight for their lives. Gaining the element of surprise, Malar gained the upperhand against the Twi'lek, but eventually proved to be no match for Main. Watching Malar's death, Darth Katos attacked Main with Force Lightning. Main fought out of the Sith Lords grasp and attacked him with her lightsaber, but was overwhelmed once again. Watching the young Jedi Knight battle Darth Katos, Viscus force pushed an AT-AT over, hoping Main would move and the vehicle would crush Katos. Instead, the Sith Lord moved and when the AT-AT landed, it created a large sinkhole that Main and many other soldiers on both sides fell into. Main was presumed dead.

Katos vs. Viscus
Angry at the sight of the AT-AT caused sinkhole, Darth Katos charged across the battlefield at Viscus, slaughtering some of his Jedi soldiers along the way. When he finally reached Viscus, the two immediately found themselves in a blade-lock, which was broken up by a nearby explosion. Katos got back to his feet and attacked Viscus again, letting out a massive roar. Viscus held the Sith at bay for a while, even managing to gain the offensive for a moment after kicking the Wookiee in the chest. Eventually Viscus grew tired and Katos began his offensive barrage, grabbing the Jedi General by the throat and throwing him a number of yards away against a crashed New Republic dropship. Katos leaped into the air after the Jedi, stabbing him in the chest with his lightaber, killing him.

Aftermath
Following the death of Ade Viscus, Darth Katos rallied his forces and, almost singlehandedly, defeated the rest of the Jedi and New Republic forces. After the battle ended, Admiral Ornell Graccau was immediately escorted to the Hoth system, where he met with Admirals Col Keala and Lei-co Shoval. Darth Katos led a search party into the sinkhole caused by Ade Viscus in hopes of finding survivors. Tori Main's body was never found, but many New Imperial soldiers were freed from inside the destoryed AT-AT. Due to the death of Captain Neita Malar, Darth Katos promoted Commander Boksi Nanta and placed him in charge of the bases defenses. After the Jedi/Imperial War ended, Dantooine remained in the grasp of the New Galactic Empire because of this battle, and the base was soon ordered to be redesigned into an Imperial Recruitment center under the command of Admiral Ornell Graccau.
