This final conflict marked the end of the First Great Schism. Following the death of Xendor and a devastating defeat on Columus, the Legions of Lettow were severely weakened. Consequently, the Jedi, under the leadership of Jedi Master Awdrysta Pina, launched an assault on Lettow to decisively defeat their adversaries. The Legions, now under the command of Xendor's paramour Arden Lyn, understood that victory was impossible, and instead aimed to delay the Jedi long enough to retreat to safety outside the Republic's territory.
