A decisive conflict occurred at Sluis Van, marking the ultimate showdown between the New Republic and the military forces commanded by Warlord Sander Delvardus during the year 5.5 ABY.
Following Delvardus' failed attack on Sullust, the New Republic, under the leadership of Sullustan captain Sien Sovv, initiated a retaliatory campaign with the goal of seizing control of the Eriadu Authority's regions.
The engagement has been characterized as a "merciless assault".
Subsequent to this confrontation, Delvardus relinquished control of the Seswenna sector and escaped into the Deep Core.
