Battle over Exodo II The Battle over Exodo II took place in 44 ABY within the Exodo system , a region located in the Outer Rim Territories of the galaxy . It was fought by a battle fleet of the Imperial Remnant commanded by Head of State Jagged Fel , aided by Admiral Vitor Reige , and secretly by Moff Tol Getelles , against the insurrectionist forces of the Maw Irregular Fleet and rebellious Moffs under the leadership of Natasi Daala . The battle site was over the planet Exodo II . Daala , a former Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance who was removed from power by the Jedi Order after a highly controversial term in office , attempted to regain her hold over the galaxy by usurping control of the Imperial Remnant from Fel . In order to achieve her objective , she forced several members of the Moff Council , including Drikl Lecersen and Tol Getelles , to support her bid for power . However , Moff Getelles secretly remained loyal to Fel , whom he informed of Daala ' s plot though subterfuge . Due to Getelles ' aid , Fel learned that Daala ' s forces had converged in the Exodo system to prepare for their eventual military takeover of the Remnant . After swiftly assembling a fleet of Imperial warships , including a vanguard unit from the Empire of the Hand , Fel directed his fleet to ambush and destroy Daala ' s subversives through a preemptive strike . History . Prelude . Natasi Daala was freed from prison by Mandalore Boba Fett shortly after the Jedi Council removed her from office through force . By then , however , the Jedi had already established a new regime to facilitate a smooth transition of power . With the cooperation of the Senate and the Defense Force , the Jedi established a Triumvirate , an alliance of three leaders who would share the executive responsibilities of the Chief of State . With Coruscant under the full control of the new government , Daala had no other choice than to flee into exile , after which she immediately contemplated her options for regaining her lost power . With most of the galaxy under the rule of the Galactic Alliance , the only major power that could rival the Alliance ' s military might was the Imperial Remnant . Daala , once an officer in the former Galactic Empire , sought to reestablish her authority as the new leader of the Remnant . But in order to do so , first she had to remove Jagged Fel from his position as Head of State . In addition to regaining control of the Maw Irregular Fleet , Daala had to search for support amongst the Moffs , the Remnant ' s regional governors whom she had loathed for decades since the time of the old Empire . Although the feelings of hate were mutual , the Moffs felt little loyalty for Fel , whom they resented as an outsider that was placed in control of the Remnant by the former Jedi Coalition . Fel was only able to rely on the support of a minority of Moffs ; the vast majority of the Moff Council hated him outright . One of the first Moffs to join Daala ' s cause was Porrak Vansyn , who had been openly vocal about his discontent with Fel ' s leadership and support for Daala ' s fall from power . Through the intelligence gathering of Boba Fett , Daala gained the support of several other Moffs , including Drikl Lecersen and Tol Getelles , through blackmail . However , Daala was unaware of the fact that Getelles was only feigning his loyalty to her in order to infiltrate the conspiracy . Shortly after being confronted by Fel because of the illegal experiments that had been conducted under his supervision , Getelles informed Daala that he shot and killed Fel . In truth , he merely stunned the Head of State and then revealed Daala ' s plot to seize control of the Imperial Remnant . While Fel amassed his forces in preparation for a preemptive strike on Daala ' s coup d ' état , Getelles fooled Daala into believing that Fel had been assassinated . Daala fell for Getelles ' trick and amassed her party of insurrectionists in order to take control of Bastion and , by extension , the Imperial Remnant . Upon rendezvousing in the Exodo system , Daala ' s primary force was composed of the warships that comprised the Maw Irregular Fleet , which included the " Chimaera " , a " Venator " - class Star Destroyer , a " Republic " - class cruiser , an " Acclamator " - class assault ship , several frigates , three corvettes of two classes , and twelve wings of starfighters . Due to high costs , none of the fleet ' s ships were able to retain their advanced weaponry . The Maw Irregular Fleet was supplemented with the Remnant starships , such as an " Imperial II " - class Star Destroyer , an Immobilizer 418 cruiser , nearly three dozen smaller vessels ( including frigates , corvettes , an escort cruiser , and a starfighter carrier ) , and nine wings of starfighters under the command of Moff Lecersen . While still under the pretense of supporting Daala , Getelles contributed his force of four Star Destroyers , a carrier , eight starfighter wings , and nearly a dozen combined frigates and corvettes to the insurrectionists ' fleet . Moffs Vansyn and Trevin brought together twenty more vessels . The combined main force ultimately totalled nearly twenty Star Destroyers . The battle . While Daala remained ignorant of Getelles ' true allegiance , Jagged Fel and his loyalist faction amassed a fleet of Remnant warships . The Empire of the Hand , a fellow successor state to the first Galactic Empire , dispatched a vanguard of ships to aid in Fel ' s attempt to hold onto power . With the support of Admiral Vitor Reige and the protection of Tahiri Veila , a fallen Jedi Knight and former Sith Lady , Fel personally directed his ships as they converged on Daala ' s position in the Exodo system . Daala and her allies , caught completely by surprise , were initially unable to offer sufficient resistance to launch an effective counterattack against the Remnant assault . As Fel ' s forces attacked from the front , Getelles ' revealed his true loyalties and directed his Star Destroyers to attack the Maw Irregular Fleet . At first , the battle proceeded well in Fel ' s favor . But just as Daala was on the verge of total defeat with most of her fleet obliterated , Lecersen ' s ships managed to destroy Fel ' s main command center , the hollowed - out moon Boreleo , including the " Gilad Pellaeon " that was hidden inside the natural satellite of Exodo II . The irreparable damage caused to the " Pellaeon " forced Jagged Fel , Tahiri Veila and Ashik — Fel ' s Chiss aide — to abandon the doomed flagship . Command of the Remnant fleet was passed over to the " Bloodfin " once the Head of State was safely aboard . Yet despite Fel ' s survival of the " Pellaeon ' s " destruction , the Remnant ships fell into an increasingly brutal fight against Daala ' s forces , with neither side gaining a tactical advantage to achieve a decisive victory .
