Battle of Verocinighi

The Battle of Verocinigha was fought between the Galactic Republic and the CSI over control of the uranium mines of Verocinigha. The Battle was so intense, that the Veroocci Mountains were flattened, and almost all the Veroci were killed, thus giving the name the more common named: Veroci Holocaust.

Background
Count Duckoo had formed a treaty with the Veroci King in 23 BBY. He promised not to violate the neutrality of Verochinigha if his armies were allows to mine the uranium mines. The Veroci had no use for uranium, as they had secretly discovered something far better, so the Veroci King allowed it.

The netraulity of the planet could not last in a war like the Clone wars. There was no neutrality. And that is what happend to the Veroci. Sooner or later, the Republic would find out. And indeed, they did.

Clone Intellegance units discovered the mining and reported to Chancellor Palpatine. He at once ordered the Jedi Council to send someone there immediatly to stop all activites. The Jedi Council decided to send thier most famous duo, Kenobi and Skywalker to do the job.

The Battle Proper
Kenobi and Skywalker landed with thier assualt force right by a Trade Federation battalion of ships. These ships were not there for combat, on the contrary, they were getting the uranium before returning to Hypori, the capitol of the CIS. Kenobi ordered the Nemodian commander to leave the system or risk being destroyed. The Nemodian replied that he was under orders to protect the Veroci from vagabonds like the Jedi.

Skywalker responded by having the entire fleet fire upon the mines. The mines were destroyed, along with the city of Negori. Again the ultimatum was offered. The enemy commander responded by firing upon the Jedi, and scrambaling thier fighters.

Both sides fought firecely, but Skywalker was able to turn the tide of the battle, by doing a repeat of his Naboo expeiance, and flew into the enemy hanger bay, and blew up the main reactor of the enemy flagship. The ship soon exploded, and the ship next to it melted away from the withering fire from the Republic fleet. At the last moment, the ship rammed itself against three opponent cruisers, destroying all of them instantly. The last ship began to retreat, keeping up a blistering fire against the 13 enemy ships.

During this whole entire time, fire had been directed towards the planet. Whole cities were vaporized, and it was said that every five feet had been hit. Reports later said this was an exageration, seeing as there was one every 7 feet, not five. Skywalker had forgotten to order a halt, and the planet was being torn apart.

Kenobi suddenly relized it and ordered an end to the firing. The battle was a Republic victory, but, it was a bloody one, and tragic in its own right.

Aftermath
"Well, they were a bother anyways."--Count Duckoo after reciving reports of the battle.

The Republic came under blistering fire from all over the galaxy because of what had happened. They did not lay any blame on Skywalker who gave the order, or Kenobi, who was in charge. They laid the blame on Palpatines' shoulders.

The CIS was never able to use Verocinighia again. When told about the destruction, Count Duckoo merely shurrged.
