Battle of Strageus

The battle of Strageus was one of the many skirmishes between the Disciples of Bane and Republic forces in the last months of the Bane Crisis. It was fought above Strageus, a lush green world covered in one large plain of grass.

The Battle
In order to crush the Republic, the leader of the Disciples of Bane, Darth Galepius decided to test his forces against the Republic fleet. He sent one of his chief commanders Darth Razor to attack Strageus and the small Republic garrison there.

When Razor's fleet emerged from hyperspace, it was faced with a small force of two Republic cruisers and a wing of starfighters. Razor's vastly superior force attacked and destroyed the Republic fleet before launching the invasion of the planet.

Razor's apprentice Darth Doruk led an army of mercenaries to beseige Strageus's only city. The defenders put up a valiant defence but Doruk's men blew open the main gates and charged in, slaughtering all resistance. With this victory, the rest of the planet submitted to the Disciples and a clear message was sent to the Republic.
