Evacuation of Dac The Evacuation of Dac was the action taken by the Galactic Alliance Remnant , the New Jedi Order and their allies in response to the Final Protocol administered by Darth Krayt ' s Galactic Empire to culminate the Genocide of Mon Calamari . History . Prelude . The major allied victory at Ralltiir and the subsequent counter - ambush of the First Coruscant Task Force by the Galactic Alliance fleet angered Darth Wyyrlok and the Moff Council on Coruscant . Determined to strike a serious blow at the anti - Sith allies , several key operations were launched . Moffs Rulf Yage and Fehlaaur were dispatched to Agamar to disrupt a Jedi / Fel loyalist conference while Darth Azard and Vul Isen were instructed to execute the Final Protocol on Dac . Developed by Isen , the protocol involved the releasing of Viral spore s that were capable of killing all life on Dac within seven days . Azard protested , pointing out that the Sith - allied Quarren would also be affected . Wyyrlok was unmoved , though he allowed the Quarren to begin evacuation of Dac without helping or hindering their efforts . Wyyrlok ' s plan was for both operations to deal a serious blow to the allies . If successful , the on Agamar would capture Fel and the poisoning of Dac would lure Admiral Gar Stazi and the GA fleet into a trap . Discovery and dogfight . Three days following the start of the Final Protocol , Rogue Squadron was dispatched on a routine recon mission to Dac . During the mission , Ronto noticed a new landmass forming in Dac ' s upper western quadrant . Monia Gahan , Mon Cal native of Dac and Rogue member , discovered the horrible truth - that the supposed landmass was in fact millions of dead bodies , all victim of the Final Protocol . As the Rogues took additional scans , a group of six " Predator " - class fighters entered the area and proceeded to engage the Rogues . Anj Dahl , the squadron ' s leader , ordered the Rogues to fall back to Stazi ' s fleet . Disobeying a direct order and disgusted by the actions of the Sith Imperials , Andurgo engaged the Imperial fighters . Maneuvering his CF9 Crossfire fighter , Andurgo managed to destroy one of the fighters . Unwilling to abandon one of her squadron mates , Anj Dahl orders the rest of the Rogues to engage the Predators and cover Andurgo . After the remaining Imperial fighters were defeated , the Rogues headed back to the fleet to inform Stazi of the situation on Dac . Second Battle of Dac . Alerted to the dire situation on Dac , Stazi immediately moved into action . Stazi contacted his Imperial allies on Bastion to obtain their aid for a massive rescue operation . With Fel out of contact and engaged at Agamar , it fell to General Oron Jaeger to respond to the admiral ' s request . Despite his being sympathetic to the Mon Calamari and their plight , General Jaeger informed Stazi that he was unable to commit the Fel ' s loyalist fleet without a direct order from the emperor himself . In addition , Jaeger expressed his concern that the whole event was designed as a trap to catch the allied forces . Undeterred , and despite the lack of aid from Fel ' s forces , Stazi was determined to act . Still onboard the " Alliance " following the ambush in the Arkanis sector , Jedi Master Te Corso offered the assistance of the New Jedi Order . In addition to offering the a Jedi fighter group , Master Corso informed the admiral that the Order knew of a safe world where the refugees of Dac would be safe . Encouraged , Stazi put his plan into motion . Knowing that the defenses on the Mon Calamari Shipyards were still formidable , Stazi dispatched elements of Rogue Squadron led by Ronto and Sword Squadron led by Master Drok to infiltrate the yards and disable their defenses . On the planets surface , Jedi Master Asaak Dan , Captain Tanquar and the Mon Calamari Rangers engaged Imperial stormtroopers on Heurkea , securing the cities docks to serve as the base of operations for the evacuation . With the shipyard defenses disabled and Heurkea secured , Stazi and the Galactic Alliance fleet emerged from hyperspace . The " Alliance " , backed up by multiple " Scythe " - class battle cruisers , captured " Pellaeon " - class Star Destroyers , and numerous frigates , engaged a token Sith force of five Star Destroyers . Outnumbered and overwhelmed by superior firepower , the surviving Sith warships retreated . With the space around Dac cleared , Stazi signaled the Emergency evac fleet . The genocide of the Mon Calamari and Wyyrlok ' s final protocol had angered citizens from across the galaxy . A fleet of private starships , ranging from old Mon Cal cruisers to Venator - class Star Destroyers from the Clone Wars and at least one Imperial - class Star Destroyer from Darth Sidious ' Galactic Empire . to private transports descended emmass on Dac to rescue the world ' s population . Settling down on and around Heurkea , the armada commenced rescue operations . Nat Skywalker , former Jedi and uncle of Cade Skywalker , was among the private citizens who arrived , as well as smugglers Chak and Kee onboard the " Grinning Liar " . Twelve hours into the evacuation , events had unfolded fairly smoothly . Aware that Dac was home to other sentient life forms like the whaladon s and Moappa , the Galactic Alliance fleet dispatched YZ 3000 tanker s to rescue as many as possible to guarantee the survival of those species . A delegation of Quarren , angered that whaladons and Moappa were being rescued , demanded that their species take precedence . Angered by their demands and unsympathetic to the Quarren due to their collaboration with the Sith , Stazi refused . Still , despite his anger , Stazi allowed one out of every tenth ship to focus on rescuing those Quarren who remained . Engaging Sith reinforcements . With the Galactic Alliance fleet engaged in rescue operation , the Sith Imperials sprung their trap . The Outer Rim Third Fleet , under the command of Admiral Krion Grail and supervised by Moff Geist and Sith Fist Darth Stryfe , dropped out of hyperspace behind the Alliance fleet . Possessing a larger fleet and the element of surprise , the Sith expected a quick victory . Stazi anticipating this , countered with a trap of his own . Several old warships , including MC80 cruisers , CR90 corvettes , and a Venator - class Star Destroyer , moved forward to engage the Sith . Detecting that the warships had no life signs , Admiral Grail assumed that they were droid bombs . On Geist ' s command , the Third Fleet opened fire with all batteries to destroy the oncoming craft . The destruction of the ships was exactly what Stazi wanted . Each was loaded with powerful ion bomb s , which proceeded to disable the Third Fleet ' s sensors and other critical systems . Knowing that the effects of the attack would not last for long , Stazi ordered all Galactic Alliance capital ships to surge through the Imperial lines in a variation of the Ackbar Slash . Five of Third Fleet ' s Star Destroyers were destroyed or disabled , though the flagship " Relentless " survived due to the quick action of Admiral Grail . Undeterred , Darth Stryfe ordered the Third Fleet to open fire on the first wave of evacuation ships heading for hyperspace . As Stryfe predicted , Stazi placed the " Alliance " between the Imperial fleet and the refugee ships . While the " Alliance " absorbed withering fire from Stryfe ' s Star Destroyers , Rogue Leader Anj Dahl orders all GA fighter squadrons to cover the refugee ships and engage the Predators that were attempting to strafe them . Arrival of Bastion Imperials . On the bridge of the " Alliance " , Captain Jhoram Bey informed Stazi that the ship ' s shields were failing . The Duros Admiral refused to withdraw until all the ships of the evacuation fleet were safely away . Suddenly , a fleet of Fel loyalist Star Destroyers under the command of General Jaeger emerged from hyperspace directly behind the Sith fleet . Jaeger had decided to take a portion of Bastion ' s fleet and position it a short hyperspace jump away from Dac . Jaeger ' s gamble paid off , as Roan Fel , who himself was escaping the Sith - Imperial trap on Agamar , ordered Jaeger ' s fleet to engage . Caught between Stazi ' s battle cruisers and Jaeger ' s Star Destroyers , the Third Fleet sustained heavy losses . Moff Geist , realizing that the battle was hopeless , implored Stryfe to withdraw , noting that his former master Darth Krayt would not foolishly risk the loss of the entire Third Fleet . Stryfe conceded and ordered the remaining ships of the fleet to withdraw from Dac . With the Sith Imperial fleet defeated , Stazi and Jaeger continued with the evacuation of Dac . Twelve hours after the battle , the last of the refugee ships was loaded and prepared to depart to the secret safe world the Jedi provided . Down on Heurkea , Captain Tanquar refused to leave his people , noting that to many were unable to escape . Asaak Dan was sympathetic , but reminded Tanquar that he was now one of the Mon Calamari ' s recognized leaders . Together , the two boarded the last shuttle in the city and returned to the orbiting fleet . On the bridge of the " Alliance " , Jhoram Bey informed Stazi that nearly 20 % of Dac ' s population had been rescued . While numbering in the billions , it was only a small percentage of the world ' s total population of 27 billion .
