First Battle of the Vattican Sea

The FirstBattle of the Vattican Sea was a battle between the Order of the Jedi Bendu of the Ophuchi and the Eternal Order of the Vipera during the Kal'Shabbol Civil War. During it, the competing armies met near the shores of the Vattican Sea. The Valley People had appeared to make a fatal move, as the force was not large enough to pose a serious threat to the Jedi Bendu. As usual for such infantry and cavalry battles, the stronger Jedi Bendu forces were pressed towards the front while the war weary soldiers were moved to the back through the gaps in the Jedi Bendu line. However, the Valley People knew this so while the forces were concentrated several hours into the battle, cultist soldiers riding Oshtri emerged from the waves as their mounts breached, shooting them at the back of the Jedi Bendu lines. Hundreds of soldiers appeared this way, forcing the Jedi Bendu to fight on both sides. The Jedi Bendu were crushed between the two armies, and though they managed to retreat to the right flank, the losses were heavy.
