The battle that occurred in the Darkon system took place during the Orinda campaign of 12 ABY, a component of the Galactic Civil War. Not long after the Imperial Remnant came into being, Gilad Pellaeon, the Head of State, secured a series of wins along the Entralla Route. As a countermeasure, the New Republic dispatched the Executor-class Star Dreadnought called Lusankya, leading to a confrontation at Darkon. Under the command of General Wedge Antilles, and with assistance from Tycho Celchu's Rogue Squadron, the Lusankya was victorious against Pellaeon's Executor-class Star Dreadnought, the Reaper, and Turr Phennir's 181st Imperial Fighter Group. The Imperials were forced to withdraw, setting the stage for future conflicts.
