Operation Strong Hand represented the culmination of the Black Fleet Crisis as the New Republic Defense Force's concluding offensive.
Following Luke Skywalker's successful persuasion of Wialu to offer the illusionary talents of the White Current to the service of the New Republic, a strategy was formulated to decisively defeat the Yevethan fleet stationed at N'zoth.
Led by General Etahn A'baht, along with his Commodores Corgan, Mauit'ta, Morano, Poqua, and Grekk 9, the New Republic's military units dealt a significant blow to the Yevethan fleet, after which the remaining members of the Camp Pa'aal Squadron took possession of the Imperial warships and retreated towards the Core.
