Battle of Belaham

The Battle of Belaham was the final battle between the two clashing governments on Maynus, the Gevorian and the Maynian. The battle occurred in 445 BBY, after the Maynians inducted a law that allowed the government to brand the letter 'T' on the wrists of captured Gevorians. This caused the Gevorians to attempt to rescue the prisoners, which eventually caused the Battle of Belaham.

Prelude
Following the Battle under Culor, the Maynian government passed a law that allowed their armies to brand the letter 'T' into the wrists of Gevorian soldiers. It was done to signify that the Gevorian solider was a traitor. Soon after the law passed, the Maynian government passed another law that allowed them to brand the letter 'G' into anyone of the Gevorian bloodline. This caused Jacen Gevorian and his daughter Lara to plan missions to rescue the prisoners.

During the first rescue attempt, Jacen and Lara's team were able to sabotage all of the Maynian army's large weapons, including their flame cannons. The group was forced to flee afterward because a large group of Maynians were marching to the prisons. During another rescue attempt, the Gevorian rescue party was ambushed and Lara Gevorian was captured. The Maynian leader, Syle Torrav, then branded her wrists in front of all the Maynian citizens. Jacen Gevorian then set up all the resistance fighters and marched to the city where Syle was living, Belaham.

The battle
The Gevorian army marched into a forest near Belaham. When they reached the edge of the forest they began to attack. The Maynian army tried to counter with flame cannons, but the weapons had been sabotaged. When the Maynians tried to use the cannons, they exploded, killing many of the soldiers that were around them. Several others were injured. The Gevorian army continued to fire upon the capitol building until Syle entered the battle with his own personal squad. His personal squad carried hand-held fire cannons and fired upon the Gevorian army, it killed several soldiers, and caused the remaining to flee deep within the forest.

When the Gevorian army had fled deep enough in the forest, they set up an ambush for the Maynians. The Maynian army charged into the forest to attack but were ambushed by the Gevorian army. Jacen Gevorian then charged into the city with a small squad in an attempt to free the Gevorian prisoners. Jacen and Lara then sneaked into Syle's tower and attacked his personal soldiers. Syle surrendered soon after, the Gevorians had won the battle.



Aftermath
After the battle, the Gevorians executed Syle Torrav for crimes of treason. The Maynian people fled afterward. Jacen Gevorian's son, Jacen Gevorian II, was appointed the first Grad of Maynus. Jacen Gevorian and his daughter left the planet soon after. He released all of the Maynian prisoner and let them hide in the forests, he also passed laws that forbade a Maynian to enter a Gevorian ruled city.

Legacy
After the war had ended, the planet was led by a man or woman of Gevorian blood for the next two-hundred years. The Maynian army split up into several tribes and scattered into the forests and mountains of Maynus. Lee Torrav, Syle's son, became the leader of the largest Maynian tribe and often would send tribesman to attack Gevorian cities.
