Battle of Roche (Mezzilenic War)

The Battle of Roche was fought between the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Coalition during the Mezzilenic War.

Prelude
The war had long been swinging in favour of the Coalition when they managed to cut off the majoirty of Republic forces in the Core from the resource worlds of the Outer Rim and Corporate Sector. However as both sides moved to secure their borders Coalition internal disputes following the Battle of Dac allowed the Republic to strengthen their position. Republic High Command began preparing for their breakout from the Core and how they would destroy the Coalition and win the war.

To this end they contacted General Behn-Kehn-Mehn, who commanded one of the most powerful Republic hold-outs in the Outer Rim. They instructed him to cause as much confusion behind enemy lines so that they could strike while the Coalition was off-guard. Mehn carried out his instructions, destroying a Coalition fleet at Hypori. However the Coalition soon came back for revenge and Mehn was killed at the Battle of Shola but even as the Coalition celebrated their victory, Republic forces were already on the move.
