Second Battle of Ossus (Second Galactic Civil War)

The Second Battle of Ossus was the decisive battle of the Second Galactic Civil War. The Third Galactic Empire and the Second Rebel Alliance collided near the planet. The Imperial Fleet was spread in a thin defensive line that was flexible. The Alliance formed their ships in a large compact mass and hit the fleet hard, splitting it in two, and defeated each half in detail. The Third Imperial Fleet was routed after seven hours of intense space combat.

The battle moved to the surface of the planet, where for two more hours the two sides fought intense close quarter combat. Emperor Samuel Harmon and Darth Carnage were both killed by Xan Skywalker and his brother Anakin in a massive duel in the control room of the Ossus Military Academy. After the death of their leaders, the ground forces surrendered.
