" The Terran-Hyperspace war, or the 2nd Hyperspace war, was a short war that occurred within the larger spanning conflict known as the Clone wars, it occurred after the Republic and Separatist senates, broker a cease fire. The Terran Republic, contempt with letting the two side destroy each other continued its mining operations in the Prime System, however due to pirates that were hired by both the Republic and Separatist to disrupt their operations, Maria ordered large star fortress to be constructed a key choke points in the area and the 2nd fleet be deployed to defend the system from any attacks.

Both the Republic and Separatist moved their fleets into the system, as a cautionary measure. However the secret sith cult the Order of the One sith, leaked Intel that the Terran's were building massive launch sites for a new weapon the Terran's been developing, the new breed of Nuclear warheads, placed in massive Catullus IPBM's* (Inter-Planetary Ballistic   Missiles). The Republic and Separatist were lured into a trap, and both fractions fleet came out of hyperspace too close to star Fortress Beta, which warned both fleets to pull back, but the One sith was one step ahead, and sabotaged both Republic and Separatist communications.
