The
Battle of Commenor, between
Commenor Guard
units and
Yuuzhan
Vong warriors, is a fictional event which takes place in the
Star Wars
New Jedi
Order series of novels. Commenor is a planet in the
Corellian sector on the front
which leads to the Oborim Comet Cluster.
The Front is heavily
guarded by
New Republic Commenorian battle
cruisers. The Yuuzhan Vong, an invading force, need to get through
the pass to get to
Coruscant, but they have to refuel. The nearest
planet,
Borleias, is
in the Oborim Cluster. The battle begins when Vong vessels make an
all out frontal attack on the Commenorian guards, causing
tremendous damage.
The leader of the Commenorian Guards, Harg
Bragon, tries to attack the main Yuuzhan Vong cruiser.
Unfortunately, Shirimi, the Vong commander, sees this and
counterattacks. Harg's ship explodes in the attack. Commenorian
guards and troopers in the air are overwhelmed by Vong cruisers and
battleships. The Commenorian second-in-command, Dragnas Fa, sends
in two reserves to help in the front line of the battle, to no
avail. Even though reinforcements arrive, Vong ships attack the
flank of the Commenorian Guard fleet, causing them to fall back to
the Oborim Comet Cluster itself. The Guard ships fly into the
comets; half the Guard fleet is destroyed and the rest is
scattered. Dragnas Fa is killed when he tried to flee the battle,
after his ship crashes into a comet. After the battle, the Vong
fleet refuels at Borleias before proceeding to attack
Coruscant.
