This war pitted the Galactic Republic against the Sith Empire, and the campaign specifically aimed to neutralize General Arkos Rakton. Following the Battle of the Gauntlet, Rakton launched a significant offensive against the Republic. In response, Havoc Squad undertook several crucial assignments to disrupt Rakton's strategies, ultimately leading to his defeat at Bastion during the Battle of Corellia.
