The Third Battle of Qotile occurred during the Stark Hyperspace War and represents the third of five engagements that took place on Troiken, a world situated in the Outer Rim. Its outcome is believed to have been inconclusive.
This particular battle served as a strategic misdirection. Jace Dallin commanded the Eriaduan Republic Outland Regions Security Force, launching an offensive from their Mount Avos haven against the Stark Collective. The Collective, opting for a siege strategy, had been attempting to avoid further direct conflicts. Simultaneously, while the Eriaduan forces engaged the enemy, a group consisting of Jedi members (Adi Gallia, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Qui-Gon Jinn), Senators (Nute Gunray and Finis Valorum), alongside a Judicial pilot, secretly departed Avos via a concealed passage. Their destination was the Troiken spaceport, where Gallia and the pilot planned to commandeer a Combine ship. The objective was to transport the politicians back to Coruscant to deliver information regarding the war's status to both the Galactic Senate and the Jedi Council.
