Battle for Galactic City

The Battle of Galactic City was a battle fought at Coruscant between Praetorium forces and the combined forces of the New Jedi Order and Unified Imperial Remnant. The battle took place mostly in Coruscant's orbit, ending when Darth Praetus himself was destroyed along with his apprentice and much of his most trusted leaders. The flagship he occupied during the battle was maintaining low orbit during its destruction; it crash landed on the surface killing thousands if not millions and destroying much of Coruscant's lower east quadrant.

With his death, this left General Eapitaph in charge of the Praetorium and the situation from his position must have looked terribly dire. At this moment precisely, he turned his tail and ran, alone -- however in some miscommunication intercepted by Imperial analysts, signaled the entire Sith force's retreat.
