A battle occurred in the Zavian Abyss when the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Overseer was lured inside and ambushed by the New Republic, to prevent it from finding Project Starhawk. During the ambush, the New Republic revealed the newly completed prototype Starhawk-class battleship Starhawk and forced the Star Destroyer, the Overseer, to retreat.
