Third Battle of Sluis Van

Having discovered the location of the third Death Star thanks to Talon Karrde, the New Republic devised a plan to destroy the battlestation alongside their secret allies, the Griffons.

An agent was slipped into the Death Star, ordered to disable the shields that protected the Death Star. Meanwhile, the New Republic packed hundreds of capital ships with explosives, aiming to have them ram into an unshielded Death Star and hopefully destroy the battlestation.

The Third Battle of Sluis Van began, with New Republic and Imperial forces squaring off as the Republic kamikaze ships, led by Lando Calrissian, moved in to accelerate directly into the Death Star, its shields having been disabled by the agent.

The kamikaze ships collided with the Death Star, killing all onboard, including Admiral Dyne Haederfeld, the Chief Naval Officer, and Moff Devron Nuleshek. The Imperial forces, in disarray, retreated from the system, Commodore Danik Kreldin taking over for the fleet in absence of any other commanders.

The battle marked the end of Imperial hegemony in the war, its leverage over the Galactic Senate, and the galaxy, destroyed.
