Battle of Rakata (Republic-Mandalorian Wars)

After the battle of Mandalore, the Mandalorian Fleet was stretched thin in newly conquered worlds, which allowed the republic to retake a limited amount of these worlds. Encountering an unidentified life form (the Rakatans), the Jedi interrogated these aliens and shortly discovered their homeworld of Lehon. After realizing the truth about the enormous Mandalorian military factory, they assembled a task force of almost 1,000 ships to aid in this battle. After planning the battle and acquiring very inaccurate schematics of this space station, they sent the fleet to engage the Mandalorian fleet in orbit of the planet. The battle was one of the longest battles fought in the war, taking more than 6 months of an ongoing battle, eventually, the republican fleet succeeded in destroying the Mandalorian war machine, but the price was heavy. Out of 1,000 capital ships, 20,000 fighters, and 4,000 smaller ships and corvettes; only 54 capital ships, 1,452 fighters and 203 corvettes remained in the republic fleet. The Mandalorian Fleet however, was completely wiped out as the Union's Treasure fired an accidental Hyperspace Missile as the battle raged on in the 6th month. After the Mandalorian fleet was destroyed, the Union's Treasure then blasted out in hyperspace in to deep space. The Jedi were certain the station was destroyed in the battle, but they will not know about it until the [[Great Sith Acquisitions. The battle took place in between 4,023 BBY, to 4,022 BBY.
