The conflict on Malrev IV marked one of the initial engagements of the Light and Darkness War, occurring in the year 1004 BBY. Mirroring the events of the Battle of Dromund Kaas, which transpired around the same period, the Sith deployed forces with the intention of seizing control of the world, only to be driven back by a fierce Republic offensive.
The Force-sensitive Twi'lek named Boc Aseca subsequently experienced a Jedi triumph by using his powers to relive events gleaned from the remains of the Jedi Newar Forrth, who was also a Twi'lek.
