Skirmish at Carnarl

After the Battle of Geonosis all weapons designers loyal to the Galactic Republic were asked to travel to Coruscant to join the newly created Republic Department of Military Research.

Umak Leth was one of the many reasearchers who answered this call. Traveling from his vacation home on Borleen Umak's shuttle was escorted by four of the newly created Acclamator assault ships, a testament to his value to the Republic. His shuttle's hyperdrive malfunctioned in the Carnarl system and he was forced to halt his journey for repairs.

Somehow the Confederacy of Independent Systems learned of Leth's location and an prototype automated spherical battlestation was unleashed to do battle against the Acclamators.

The battlestation destroyed two Acclamators with it's proton beam and when the beam was disabled by the remaining two warships it used its powerful tractor beams to pull one of the Acclamators inside itself to deconstruct for spare parts. The last surviving Acclamator managed to score a lucky hit against the station nearly disabling it. The station entered hyperspace never to be seen again.

Umak Leth guessed that the rigors of hyperspace tore apart its already damaged hull. Leth was impressed by the design of the massive machine and the observations that he made viewing the battle from his shuttle would later inspire him to aid in the design of the Death Star battlemoon as well as the World Devastators.
