Battle of Dantooine

== Background ==
With unknown cause, the Empire's world of Dantooine was a target to a fleet known to the lead by the Jedi, due to its Flag Ship being the Shapeshifter was noted. During the Jedi's first arrival, it seemed peaceful at first, though it was as if they were looking for something on the planet, something dark. However, the planet was full of Dark Side influence, due to its historic abuse by the Sith in the old days of the Galaxy's finest wars and compaigns. Virtually they couldn't have found what they were looking for, on a peaceful planet as this. However, one of the Jedi individuals, the Grand Master, had sensed some great Danger on the planet. 
When he could find where the danger was, he was unable to think of another way to solve the problem. In the end, the man was calling for orbital strikes. His fleet of unknown class ships and the Shapeshifter, began to orbitally bombard the planet. With that, the Empire was able to turn around and send their defense fleet of the sector towards the new enemy, the Jedi. With the Jedi off guard, and the Empire heavily out numbering them. The Jedi still on the ground, who were unable to retreat, were abandoned as the Shapeshifter attempted to Order a full retreat.
During this time, the Empire was already closing in on the Jedi's Fleet and began to open fire with their Maser Cannons, and Sextuple-Turbolaser Cannon Batteries on board their destroyers, and their Reaver command ship. However, the most effective was the Fighters as they fought as a cloud against the Jedi Ships, literally laying down fire enough to destroy engines, bridges, and anything that they could destroy on the enemy vessels. The Galactic Peace Corporation also contributed by opening fire on the ships, to make sure they wouldn't escape, since they were using GPC Planetary Prison Lasers.
At the end of the not so epic battle, the Jedi were ultimately defeated in the space battle, except for the Flag Ship Shapeshifter, which was able to retreat back to its home, but was tagged by a tracking device right as it was about to enter hyperspace.
== The Conflict ==
== Aftermath ==
After the destruction of the Jedi Fleet, and the Retreat of the Jedi Grand Master, the Empire was able to keep control over the planet. With the help of the GPC, the Empire went on a search for the Jedi Order, or at least whoever was still planetside since they had been abandoned by their superior ranked Knight. In the process, multiple Shadow Troopers had been placed in various locations on the planet in order to hunt down Jedi and other force sensitives in order to gain knowledge of the Jedi Base, as well as to find more recruits for the Shadow Troopers or Imperial Knights.
