First Battle of Milagro

The Conquest of Milagro was a campaign in 1,387 BBY during the which saw  fall to the overall control of the New Sith Empire.

Reeling from his defeat by the at the Battle of Malastare, embattled  Zirist Lakalt attempted to renew his forces' morale and expand his industrial capabilities, and set his sights on Milagro. Unbeknownst to either side, Sith Overlord Vedya Gasald had also planned to take Milagro as the first step in a campaign up the. Lakalt assailed Milagro for two days before Gasald's war fleet arrived; the two Sith factions spent the following weeks fighting, although Lakalt was at a clear disadvantage and ultimately forced to withdraw. Already weakened by fighting Lakalt, Milagro's army was no match for Gasald's, which rolled over it quickly.

In the midst of the three-way battle, a Jedi strike team led by Mali Darakhan landed on Milagro with the ostensible goal of assassinating Vedya Gasald and her senior commanders. The Jedi became enmeshed in Milagro's growing Resistance and helped the group in its early stages. Over time, conflicts about tactics drove a wedge between some resistance fighters and the Jedi.

Some weeks into the invasion, the Jedi launched an attack on Milagro's government center, where they succeeded in wounding a number of Sith Lords and killing Darth Vaszas. Discovered, abandoned by some of the Resistance, and impossibly outnumbered, they were forced to flee to, leaving the Resistance to battle Gasald's forces alone.
