The **Second Battle of Earth** known as the **Second Invasion of Earth** was a major space battle fought over Earth during the Galactic Civil War as part of Operation Nightcloak. Although the entire campaign, including the space battle and the battles on land, were sometimes referred to as the **Battle of Earth**, officially, the name specifically only referred to the space battle in orbit.

The tactics of the battle were part of an elaborate trap engineered by Grand Admiral Thrawn to destroy the attacking Imperial force and devastate the Imperial war machine. Initially, the Imperial fleet faced a little over half of the strength of the Home Fleet. After hours of battle, as the battle began to turn in the Empire's favor, the rest of the Home Fleet arrived, and a series of nuclear and cyber attacks on the Imperial fleet destroyed hundreds of ships. After destroying Terran interdiction cruisers, the Empire escaped with just 64 ships out of its original 788. Although the Terran Starfleet lost 71 ships, which was about one sixth of its ships, it was an overwhelming victory for the Terran Starfleet.
