Battle of Bothawui (Mezzilenic War)

The Battle of Bothawui was a battle fought in 101 BBY during the Mezzilenic War between the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Coalition above the planet Bothawui.

Prelude
With the Mezzilenic War having raged for over a year, the Republic had staged a devastating counter-attack which turned the tide of the war in their favour and scattering the Coalition fleet. Seeing an opportunity to regain his position of power in Bothan Space, after having lost it after the Battle of Kothlis, Vy Hu'ro saw the perfect opportunity to take it back. Having gathered all his supporters at his base on Void Station, he prepared an attack on Bothawui that he believed would win back his position as leader of the Bothans.

Although the forces of his rival Arf Fey'lya equally matched his own, they had a strong defensive position, Hu'ro decided that the attack on Bothawui would be used to lure Fey'lya's forces to Void Station, where he could use the station's defences to turn the tide of the battle. So Hu'ro decided to keep some of his ships in reserve so that he could spring a trap on Fey'lya's forces when they arrived at Void Station.
