A conflict transpired in 4 ABY on the planet Emmer, pitting the forces of the Galactic Empire against those of the New Republic. Following the successful defense of the galaxy by the nascent Alliance of Free Planets/New Republic against the incursions of the Nagai and the Ssi-ruuvi invasions, Republic forces, spearheaded by Mon Calamari and previously constrained by the Imperial Navy, initiated an offensive within the Outer Rim Territories directed at the Empire. Despite Emmer's status as an Imperial stronghold, the New Republic achieved victory. Consequently, Makem Te, a neighboring fortified world, found itself cut off from other systems aligned with the Empire.
