Battle for Felucia

The Battle for Felucia took place in 99 ABY and was the opening battle of the Jedi/Imperial War on the New Republic-controled planet of Felucia. One of the primary targets of the New Galactic Empire was a base deep in the planets forests, commanded by Jedi Knight Simon Malistaire. Realizing defeat, Malistaire ordered his soldiers to retreat and fled the base to inform the Jedi High Council of the attack. Despite the presence of New Republic forces on the base, Chancellor Kyrus refused to go to war against the New Galactic Empire, seeing the attack as an act of war against the Jedi Order; not the New Republic.
