Battle of Yaartsek

Yaartsek, a backwater Imperial-controlled planet, revolted against its Imperial masters and overthrew the Imperial base on the planet. As a result, the Empire sent a task force led by Danik Kreldin to crush the resistance and to retake the planet in the name of the Empire.

The Imperials were bogged down in nasty guerilla warfare in the jungles of Yaartsek, but Imperial technology eventually overcame the militia and the Imperials had the rebel base, formely the Imperial command center on the planet, surrounded.

The militia, refusing to surrender, detonated a nuclear device built into the command center, wiping them out along with a majority of the Imperial army. Despite the enourmous losses suffered, the Imperials reclaimed the planet and established a new garrison months later.
