Battle of the Corellian Trade Spine

The Battle of Corellian Trade Spine was one of the final skirmishes fought between the Disciples of Bane and the Republic during the Bane Crisis.

Lead Up to the Battle
With the Disciple's forces lauching attacks on many Outer and Mid Rim worlds like Strageus and Rodia, the Corellian Trade spine became vulnerable to attack. A Republic sector fleet was sent to defend it from attack but by now the Disciple's had gathered a fleet large enough to challenge it. Darth Galepius sent Darth Razor to lead the attack.

The Battle
Darth Razor sent his apprentice Darth Zeron with a small vanguard force to draw the Republic into battle. When Zeron's fleet arrived it was attacked by a small Republic scout group. Although both forces were equally matched, Zeron quickly gained the upper hand and scattered the Republic fleet. The Republic then launched their entire sector fleet against the Disciples but Razor also arrived with his force and the two fleets faced each other.

Although facing huge numbers on both sides, neither commander wanted to back out and both fleets attacked each other. After a day long battle, both fleets had lost much of their forces and were not willing to battle on. News of the imminent arrival of a second Republic fleet forced Razor to withdraw. However, the Republic force was too weak to pursue them.
