Battle of Ran B

The Battle of Ran B took place in the Ran System, deep within Firefist, as the Infinite Empire pursued a number of retreating Sith.

Prior to the Battle
Prior to the battle of Ran B, Darth Talgus and his fleet retreated from Forward Post Ibex after a Reconnaissance vessel returned, warning of a large Infinite Empire armada approaching. Darth Talgus would arrive with half his fleet at Ran B, while the other half would leave the Dwarf Galaxy entirely, retreating towards Sith Space in the Main Galaxy.

The Battle of Ran B
The Rakatan Armada would arrive in the Ran System, And would send forward 46 Neo-Devourers and thousands of Fighter craft to escort the Landing Craft to land on Ran B. They were engaged over the planet by 16 Caedus-class Cruisers, which were able to sucessfully hold them back long enough for the rest of the fleet to arrive. Talgus would lead two Cruisers and 100 Fighter craft around the back of Ran B, assaulting the fleet from the flank and decimating the Landing Craft. The large losses forced the Rakatans to go on the defense, however, their ships were configured for offensive actions, and were easily swept aside. Having suffered extensive losses, and without putting more than a dent in the Sith Fleet, the Rakatans were forced to retreat from the system.

Aftermath
After the battle, the Rakatan fleet was scrapped and used to construct a extensive network of defenses in the Ran B system, which would lay the groundwork for Sith Dominance in the region.
