A clash unfolded on the planet Borleias in the year 10 ABY. This particular engagement was a component of the offensive strategy conceived by the reborn Emperor Palpatine, aimed at retaking the Core Worlds from the New Republic. These attacks were carried out by the re-integrated Imperial warlords along with devoted Imperial troops, preceding the commencement of Operation Shadow Hand. Following Grand Moff [Ardus Kaine]'s seizure of the Northern Dependencies and the Imperial Deep Core forces' takeover of the Core Worlds, the two fleets merged and proceeded to strike at Borleias.
