Battle of Etti IV

The Corporate Sector Authority, under the influence of Grand Moff Caldny, the current leader of the Imperial Interim Ruling Council, and Sabbath, the Dark Lord, arrested Han Solo, hero of the New Republic. His companion, Chewbacca, managed to escape captivity and alerted the Republic of the situation.

The Imperial fleet, led by Admiral Canis and Sabbath, arrived at Etti IV, where Han Solo was being held, to take Solo into custody. Shortly after, a New Republic fleet arrived and began negotiating with the Corporate Sector for the release of Solo.

Simon Drake, the Prex of the CSA, secretly handed Solo over to the Imperial fleet in orbit, however, and not long after the Imperial and New Republic fleets engaged each other. The conflict soon spread to the ground, and the Battle of Etti IV began.

The battle lasted for several days, a massive conflict the likes of which had not been seen since Endor, two years prior. Death tolls were catastrophic, but in the end the Empire arose victorious, its first major victory since the Battle of Bajic.

During the battle, the flagship of Admiral Canis, the Vanguard, was destroyed, and Canis died soon after from radiation poisoning. In the end, the Empire made off with Han Solo, although he would soon be rescued following the Duel on Palanhi.
