Battle of Mygeeto (Galactic Civil War)

The battle of Mygeeto was a battle between the Zann Consortium and Hutt Cartel.



The Battle
Jabba the Hutt had agreed to buy some CIS technology from a black market established by pirates at Mygeeto, and arranged to meet high above the planet. Urai Fen intercepted a transmission between Jabba and a bribed customs officer, and Tyber decided he wanted the technology for himself. He sent a Defiler to sabotage the pirates' early warning systems and ammased a fleet to ambush the Hutt forces. Tyber chose the Venator-class cruiser Agonizer as his flagship and equipped it with a cloaking device. Tyber de-cloaked his ship and several fighters first and taunted Jabba, who, in turn, shot the Agonizer with an ion cannon volley. His ship disabled, Tyber merely taunted Jabba again and ordered the rest of his fleet to de-cloak and attack. A heated battle began as the Agonizer's escort defended her as the crew attempted to reboot her systems. Three Crusader-class corvettes took to much fire from the Hutt warships, while a Munificent-class frigate fell to the Consortium forces. The Agonizer eventually came back on line and joined the battle. The Hutt fleet was almost completely wiped out by the time Jabba tried to retreat in his mk II assault frigate Underworld, his retreat was foiled when Star Viper-class attack platforms unleashed buzz droids on the engines and destroyed the powerfeeds, thus leaving the frigate dead in space. The Underworld was boarded by Consortium mercenaries and Jabba was captured (despite escaping later). The pirates on the surface were unaware of the ambush and arrived in a light transport with the technology and was immediatly attack by Zann Consortium fighters. A wave of Skiprays destroyed the transport and the Consortium salvaged anything they could.
