The Empire arranged an enormous fleet of 341 capital ships, 796 corvettes and 14,255 fighters in the space combat. In the ground battle; 3,400,000 troopers to occupy the world, almost 425,000 ground vehicles, and 4,500 HAAVs. One Sith Lord was also present in the battle.

Republic
The republic was caught unprepared for the battle, and their KDF was stretched thin in the core worlds protecting other worlds which were suspected to be assaulted. Kuat, was one of the republic's most fortified worlds, so they were certain the Empire would never attack it. The Republic space forces consisted 200 capital ships, 500 corvettes and 10,000 fighters. In their ground garrison, they held 1,500,000 troops, 200,000 ground vehicles, and 47 Jedi.

=The Battle= After the Imperial Fleet was detected arriving at the system, the Republic forces prepared for battle, summoned their reserved troops and released their fighters. The Mandalorian fleet; after dropping out of hyperspace, caught the republic forces merely prepared for the battle. Heavily outnumbered, the republic forces had to face a terrible challenge, for if the Empire would conquer Kuat, that would mean inevitable victory in the war. The battle has begun, the Empire advancing swiftly onto republic positions in the space and in the ground. Battling the mighty and only remaining Sith Lord, the Jedi had to aid their troops and ships using Battle Meditation and personal involvement in the battle. After 4 days of battle, the Empire's advance was ceased, and after 2 more days, they retreated back to Mandalorian space, defeated.
