The clash known as the Battle of the Cliffs took place on the world of Cilpar, a significant event within the larger Galactic Civil War.
Following the successful liberation of an Imperial installation located on Endor, Throm Loro spearheaded the Cilpari Resistance against the forces commanded by Moff Boren Tascl. Once the Alliance to Restore the Republic became aware of Loro's activities, Moff Tascl escalated the conflict by openly engaging the resistance in battle.
Throm Loro made his final stand in a mountainous area of the planet. He was joined by Groznik, a Wookiee who had been a slave and whom Loro had freed on Endor. As the battle raged, two Lambda-class shuttles initiated a strafing attack on the resistance fighters positioned on a rocky plateau. Tragically, Throm was struck by the laser fire and perished. Groznik, bound by a life debt to Throm, responded by throwing a large rock at one of the shuttles, resulting in its destruction.
