Battle of Zarnoth

The Battle of Zarnoth was the desicive battle of the War of the Resurrected Emperor. It saw the last and permanant death of Palpatine, and the death of several important Jedi. It also shattered the Galactic Empire to the point that it would take fifty years to reconstruct what had been destroyed. It ended the war.

Background
For nearly 10 months, the War of the Resurrected Emperor had exploded all across the galaxy. Five million people had been killed, and the war had seen the return of clones. The New Jedi Order had lost many members, the most famous being Corran Horn, and members had been exiled.

Emperor Palpatine had lost several battles, but launched his Campaign Invinsible. This campaign had resulted in several blows to the New Republic and True Imperials, such as the capture of Rogue Squadron. Then, in an aggressive move, Palpatine sent a broadcast throughout the entire Galaxy, boasting of his deeds and the fact that the New Republic was beginning to crumble under his attacks. This speech ended up driving four Sectors to his growing Empire.

Divilian Sivilian, the Republics' chief-of-state ordered his military forces under High Admiral Stang to launch an attack against the Imperial Fleet at Zarnoth. He also ordered the Jedi under Luke Skywalker to board the Emperor's Pride and kill Palpatine, giving them the victory.

Emperor's Pride
Luke Skywalker and seven Jedi were able to board the Pride using codes provided by the resurrected Anakin Skywalker and by using the shuttle Tiderium, which they had used to land on Endor 45 years before. Once aboard, Jacen Solo was sent to the prison block, where the Emperor had boasted of keeping the members of Rogue Squadron. The others went for the turbolift, which happened to led them straight through an Imperial training facility on the bombship. The trainees opened fire, but, their guns were only set at stun, and most were killed outright.

Jacen Solo tried to get into a door, but was stopped by two stormtroopers, who mistook him for a trooper off duty. They informed him that he wasn't supposed to enter the room, because there was a creature there of immense power. They then led him to the prison cell, where they were quickly dispatched. He then dispatched the guards and rescued the Rogues.

Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa Solo, Han Solo, Jaina Solo, Anakin Skywalker and Kyp Durron were able to get to the ninth level before being detected by security cameras. Palpatine was informed, and he at once ordered his 300 Dark Jedi (which had been garrisoned in two secret rooms connected to the bridge) to follow him and Darth Vader to the level to face the Jedi.

The Space Battle
Harmon and his fleet of forty Star Destroyers united with the Republics' 70 ship fleet at Coruscant before they jumped into hyperspace. They arrived at Zarnoth, taking the Imperial Fleet by suprise, for they had not expected them to attack thier gathering point, where they had over 200 Star Destoyers and about as many support ships. Thier surprise gave the Allies enough time to land thorty landing ships onto the planet itself.

The Emperor's Fleet rallied and tried to flank the Allies. But, there was so much firepower from the three Super Star Destroyers, that they were unable to complete the flanking.
