Battle of Qoribu The Battle of Qoribu was a battle which took place on Qoribu during the Dark Nest Crisis in 35 ABY with the Chiss Ascendancy against the Killik Colony and their Hapes Consortium reinforcement . Pre - Battle . The Chiss - Colony border dispute went out of control with the Skirmish at Qoribu . Chiss military further fortified their border as Jedi Knight Jacen Solo convinced Queen Mother Tenel Ka to reinforce the Colony with the Hapan Royal Navy . UnuThul intended to ambush the Chiss and wait for the Hapans , but his plan was discovered by Jedi Joiner s Jaina Solo and Zekk . The pair tried to convince UnuThul to make peace with the Chiss , but UnuThul refused and ordered the pair to rescue Lowbacca and leave the Colony . Trying to avoid a full scale war , Jaina faked her submission until neither the hive mind of Unu nor Taat paid her attention , then warned her ex - boyfriend Commander Jagged Fel of the Chiss through the Force . The Colony ambush was foiled , but they still earned enough time as the Chiss reanalyzed their enemy . Hapes reinforcement took up the northern pole of Qoribu , Chiss the southern , and around a hundred and fifty thousand Colony dartship s in the center . The Chiss fleet was outnumbered two to one compared to the Hapes fleet , and the situation at Qoribu became a staredown until the both forces detected the presence of the " Millennium Falcon " . Commander Jagged Fel of the Chiss and Dukat Aleson Gray of the Hapes hailed the " Falcon " , with Leia Organa Solo explaining the Jedi plan of storming the Dark Nest on Kr . Gray seized the situation as a chance to boost his reputation in front of his Queen Mother if the Hapes fleet could " rescue the Masters Skywalker from the Gorog " , thus ordering a pair of Hapan Novas to approach Kr . Refusing to allow the enemy to establish a forward position in such a tensed moment , Fel sent a Chiss Star Destroyer and half a dozen cruisers to meet the advancing Hapes . Both advance forces refused to withdraw despite the order from Organa Solo , and the Gorog dartships on Kr opened fire . Two more Hapan Battle Dragons and a dozen Novas advanced , and the Chiss answered by another dozen Chiss cruisers . Conversation ended , and the Second Battle of Qoribu began . The Battle . Chiss and Hapes advanced forces engaged closely in Kr orbit , capital ships exchanging turbolaser fire while starfighter squadrons fought for the control of attack vectors . Dark Nest neglected neither side and concentrated on the " Falcon " on surface level . Despite all the crossfire , the " Falcon " landed on Kr and joined the Battle of Kr . The Colony joined the battle with the Great Swarm swallowed the Hapes at Qoribu ' s blast - tattered rings to provide living shield to their allies , then destroyed the Chiss starfighter squadrons with absolute advantage in numbers . The Chiss turbolaser fires destroyed a dozen dartships per shot , but the Swarm did not even bother to break formation . Jaina and Zekk , both in their StealthX s with an extra one slaved to Jaina ' s control , searched for Lowbacca in the Chiss fleet . As UnuThul ' s flagship , a " Lancer " - class frigate , joined the battle , the Swarm destroyed the Chiss escorts and crippled a Chiss cruiser . Meanwhile Hapes advanced to secure the hole opened by the Killiks in the Chiss lines , driving the Chiss away . The Chiss retreated in disarray , running for the Qoribu southern pole , but the Jedi Joiner pair revealed it was in fact a Bothan fade tactic , trying to draw the Colony and the Hapes into open area . The pair tried to warn UnuThul , but the Prime Unu was too busy coordinating the battle to join their Force Meld . Taat hive members were too far away to access their new found knowledge through the hive mind . Unu tried to order the pair away , feared they would betray the Colony again . Leia then reached Jaina and relayed the situation on Kr , reinforcing the pair ' s belief in the treachery of the Dark Nest . UnuThul later personally pushed aside Unu ' s will and talk with the pair , despite his verbal denial about acknowledging a Bothan fade was applied by the Chiss , the Great Swarm remained at Qoribu and spread out beneath the southern pole , with Hapes taking supporting position behind the dartships . Realizing the fade failed , the Chiss redeployed their fleet into a three layers deep defensive wall outside enemy fire range . Meanwhile the Jedi Joiner lost the slaved StealthX to Chiss fire , as the Chiss lost track of the pair during redeployment , the dreadnaught holding Lowbacca retreated and jumped to Chiss space . Aftermath . Failed to rescue Lowbacca , Jaina and Zekk went to Kr and killed several Gorog warriors firing on the " Falcon " . UnuThul moved his flagship to Kr as the battle became a stalemate , who in time to stop Jae Juun and Tarfang from hijacking the " Falcon " . Landed , the three Joiners entered the Gorog nest . Leia showed UnuThul the Dark Nest , its captive room which killed Chiss prisoners to feed the Gorog , and the body of Welk . Leia proposed a compromise to the Colony and the Chiss , which was accepted by both sides and led to the signing of the Qoribu Truce . Jagged Fel personally released Lowbacca to the Jedi Order .
