The Battle for the Darksaber was fought in the asteroid field of the Hoth system. New Republic forces, fearing another Alderaan incident, ambushed and sabotaged the Darksaber weapon.
==Behind the scenes==
Although an image from The New Essential Chronology shows a Dreadnaught as part of the fleet attacking the Darksaber, the novel does not state that any such ships took part in the battle. It may be intended to depict the Dodonna, which is an Assault Frigate rather than a standard Dreadnaught.
