The engagement known as the Battle of Gravlex Med transpired near the conclusion of the Galactic Civil War.
The conflict's genesis involved slicers in the employ of the Imperial Remnant fabricating a directive for the dismantling of the Imperial Star Destroyer named Chimaera. The New Republic had previously seized this vessel during the course of Operation Shadow Hand. The fraudulent order rerouted the starship to the shipyards located at Gravlex Med, a desolate world that once served as the origin planet for the Anx species.
When the Chimaera made planetfall, the small contingent of personnel aboard were swiftly subdued by Imperial commandos, who violently pushed past the New Republic security forces. Admiral Ackbar took command of the troops that attempted to wrest control of the Chimaera back from Fleet Admiral Gilad Pellaeon; despite this, Pellaeon successfully reclaimed his command ship. The Battle of Gravlex Med stands as one of the final triumphs he achieved against the New Republic.
