Legacy era

The Battle over Columus was the third and final battle of Operation Wrath, masterminded by Imperial admiral Jaro Finn. A space skirmish between the Imperial Remnant and the Confederation over Columus, the latter was victorious, routing the Right to Rule fleet but leading to the discovery of the Black Baron's ultimate survival.

Operation Wrath was the Remnant's plan to cut deep into Confederation territory and eventually, to strike at core territories such as Corellia and Rendili. However, the Black Baron's victory put a quick end to this plan and forced Imperial forces to retreat from the Core Worlds. Following the Imperial victory at Awfion, the Remnant laid claim to the planet, although the Confederation's victory at Columus eliminated this claim.

Admiral Finn fielded the remains of the Right to Rule fleet as it had been since the battle of Ord Terath in 17 ABY, while the Black Baron captained only his flagship, the Greyhound but was in charge of a number of Confederation warships.

Prelude[]

When the Imperial Remnant aligned itself with the Galactic Alliance, they sought to expand their influence beyond their own territory. Seventeen-years old Admiral Jaro Finn, considered a golden star in the Imperial Navy, was placed in charge of this operation. Jaro came up with Operation Wrath, a plan to strike deep into Confederation territory swiftly.

Boasting their victory over Ruan, Finn's forces rapidly led a consecutive strike at their next target, Columus.
