Assault on Korriban

The Assault on Korriban was a small battle that took place in the Valley of the Dark Lords on the date 34 ABY, between the forces of the Sith Empire and at least two battalions of the New Republic. The battle was provoked when members of the Sith Empire attacked a strip club on Coruscant and the Jedi found out about it. They immediately took action, and the Grand Fleet locked into combat with the Republic fleet, meanwhile Republic dropships carried ground units to the ground.

Darth Tormenus told the Grand Fleet to withdraw once they fired a weak ion cannon, and then he used his own starfighter to board the enemy flagship and destroy it from the inside. Once he tried to assault the next cruiser, he failed and had to return to the surface, where he led the assault on the Jedi alongside the other members of the Sith Triumvirate.

Eventually, Darth Nebulous unleashed his power on the Republic, destroying most of their ranks, but this depleted him of his energy. He returned to the back of the Empire lines, and Tormenus led the assault, as he was a master strategist. Tormenus locked into combat with a Jedi, and was eventually stabbed where his heart was - although his orbalisk armor saved him. At this point, the Republic fell back and tried to escape to Coruscant - but Tormenus ordered the Grand Fleet to destroy the Republic cruiser - and only starfighters and whatnot were what escaped.

The battle, in the end, was a Sith Empire victory, and it marked the beginning of the Empire's reign over the galaxy. It also revealed them to the public, which was just what they wanted.
