As a chapter within the larger Imperial–Grysk conflict, a battle unfolded in the depths of Imperial territory, pitting the Grysk Hegemony's forces against a combined alliance of the Galactic Empire and the Chiss Ascendancy. The mission of the Grysk contingent was to assess the capabilities and vulnerabilities of the Imperial Navy for intelligence to be sent to the Grysk homeworld, but their mission ended in annihilation thanks to the prompt arrival of TIE Defenders.
