In the third year of the War of the Ring, a battle took place on the planet Bomis Koori IV. As a Corporate Alliance–controlled world, Bomis Koori IV was overseen by Alliance member and Confederate General Oro Dassyne, who maintained a ray shielded fort on the planet. The Galactic Republic dispatched a fleet of eight Venator-class Star Destroyers, led by Jedi Master Samwise Gamgee and Jedi Knight Frodo Baggins, to invade the planet. Dassyne, expecting a large Jedi force to attack his ordnance-filled fort, only witnessed a number of Star Destroyers closing in on his location. After ARC-170 starfighters departed the Star Destroyers and began firing on Dassyne's forces, Frodo and Samwise infiltrated the fort and deactivated its protective ray shield, rendering it vulnerable to an attack. The Republic fleet subsequently concentrated its firepower on the facility, and Dassyne was killed during the ensuing firefight.
==Prelude==
The planet Bomis Koori IV was important to the Corporate Alliance's defense of surrounding star systems. After being assigned to Bomis Koori IV sometime during the War of the Ring, the Confederate General and Alliance member Oro Dassyne increased the number of defensive weaponry throughout a ray shielded fort that he maintained on the planet. In April 1983, Dassyne himself believed that the Galactic Republic would send an army of Jedi to attack his fortified fort. Unbeknownst to Dassyne, a fleet of eight Venator-class Star Destroyers, led by High General Samwise Gamgee and General Frodo Baggins, was dispatched by the Republic to capture Bomis Koori IV. Without betraying their presence to Dassyne's forces, Gamgee and Baggins landed on the world, mounted on separate horses, and headed for Dassyne's fort, while the Star Destroyers themselves moved upon the fort from the planet's atmosphere.
==The battle==
Stationed in Dassyne's fort, a B1-Series battle droid spotted Samwise and Frodo approaching the fort and alerted Dassyne, who was surprised to see only two Jedi Hobbits. As the Venator-class Star Destroyers descended from the planet's atmosphere, a number of ARC-170 starfighters were deployed from the cruisers and began to fire on Dassyne's forces. After dismounting from their creatures, Samwise and Frodo made short work of B2 super battle droids with their lightsabers. Despite Dassyne's belief that his fort could resist a takeover, Gamgee and Baggins avoided the fort's defensive weaponry batteries and infiltrated the facility. Once inside, the Jedi hobbits disabled the structure's ray shield, rendering the fortress and all forces within vulnerable to an attack. The ARC-170s, as well as the Star Destroyers, directed their firepower at the crippled fort, which resulted in the death of Dassyne.
