First Battle of Vontor


The First Battle of Vontor (25,100 BBY) was the first of three battles fought between the expansionist Hutts and the Empire of Xim the Despot at the planet Vontor.

Background


The Hutt Empire had been competing with the empire Xim had carved out in the Tion Cluster for control of the Si'Klaata Cluster for some time. The planet Vontor was the focal area of the cluster's control along the Hutt's route of invasion.

The battle


The battle was a complete disaster for Xim, as he lost his entire fleet in the naval confrontation.

Aftermath


Although Xim's fleet was wiped out by the Hutts, he would continue to press his claim at the Second Battle of Vontor.

Legacy


The First Battle of Vontor was mentioned in Xim at Vontor, a holoplay written by Peshosloc at some point between 15,762 BBY and 15,609 BBY.

It was also mentioned in "The Gleam of Kiirium," a poem purportedly written by the Croke poet Asenec in the days before his death in 244 BBY.
