The battle of Cybe, also called the siege of Cybe, was a fierce battle between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems over the planet Cybe. It took place during the Cybe theater of the Outer Rim Sieges in the waning months of the war and followed the battles of Bekka and Lyak.
Bolstered by their victory during the Ciera Major crisis several years prior, the leaders of the Vianden Exchange Association sought a swift but decisive victory against the Republic. A victory over Cybe would - they hoped - shake the sector's loyalty to the Republic. In addition, the intended destruction of the Cybe Drives Orbital Shipyards would harm Republic ship production.
Despite their rivalry, the rapid and efficient cooperation between rear admiral Norven Loyaler and Fleet Admiral Erruouf Azimuth reduced the ground battle to merely several hours of fighting, as opposed to a campaign some had anticipated could take weeks.
