Battle of Uquine The Battle of Uquine was a conflict that occurred above the planet Uquine in 10 , 966 BBY . The famous last battle of the Seventh Alsakan Conflict between the Pius Dea - controlled Galactic Republic and an alliance led by the Jedi Order and Alsakan , it saw the defeat of the religious cult and their removal from power , ending a millennia of crusades and persecution . Prelude . The Seventh Alsakan Conflict and the Battle of Uquine were the result of events of the Pius Dea Era , a thousand - year - long period during which the Galactic Republic was controlled by the religious cult Pius Dea and their leaders , the Contispex dynasty . The cult ' s thirty - four crusades against alien species and suspected alien sympathizers angered countless beings in the galaxy , but few were strong enough to stand up against the group that controlled the major galactic government . The Jedi Order had long ago recused themselves from the Republic , severing all ties and retreating to their academy world of Ossus . But around 11 , 100 BBY , the peaceful Caamasi were able to convince the Order to act against the cult , which had begun a series of Inquisitions in the Core Worlds to root out alien sympathizers . The Order and the Caamasi worked to inspire a religious revolution amongst the Pius Dea for the next few centuries , also allying with the planet Alsakan , the Hutts , Herglics , and Duros . In 10 , 967 BBY , the Renunciates declared themselves , and war broke out between the Faithful and the heretics . The two groups battled across the Republic , while the Alsakan and Jedi - led alliance struck at Fondor , Cyrillia , and Ixtlar . The battle . After a year of conflict , the Bureau of Ships and Services abandoned its traditional neutrality and secretly agreed to aid the Jedi Order . Coordinating with the Renunciates and the alliance , the BoSS secretly seeded Pius Dea ' s fleet of cathedral ship s with rogue navicomputer code . The Order and its allies gathered their forces at Uquine , baiting the Faithful into attacking the Renunciate fleet there . Just before the Pius Dea ' s fleet jumped to hyperspace , the BoSS sent a signal to every ship in the fleet that activated the implanted code . More than half of the fleet disappeared , lost in hyperspace . Many of those missing cathedral ships found themselves stranded in deep space , with their navicomputers wiped clean and their hyperdrives and communications systems rendered useless . Those aboard would be unable to return , and would eventually die from lack of supplies . The remaining ships arrived at Uquine to find themselves under attack by the combined forces of the Renunciates and the Jedi - led alliance . A strike team of Jedi Knights boarded the flagship " Flame of Sinthara " and captured Supreme Chancellor Contispex XIX , ending the Pius Dea ' s rule of the Republic . Contispex was taken to Caamas , where he was found guilty of crimes against the galaxy and imprisoned for the rest of his life . Without their leader , the Pius Dea faith crumbled after their defeat at Uquine . Every single member of the faith was removed from office , and Jedi Grand Master Biel Ductavis assumed the office of Supreme Chancellor . Behind the scenes . The Battle of Uquine was first mentioned as the " famous encounter " that ended the Pius Dea Era in " Tinker , Tailor , Soldier , Praji " . It was later expanded upon in the " The Essential Guide to Warfare " .
