The Great Battle of Teratus

Artistic rendition of the battle done by renowned Imperial artist Murk Hegel in 5BBY

The Great Battle of Teratus was a decisive republic victory.

Battalions were stationed at their assigned outposts known as "bunkers".

There were 5 bunkers in total.

Bunker 5 and Bunker 4 saw constant waves of droids.

## Belligerents

Grand Army of the Republic (Valkyrie Venator)

↑Led by Admiral Alistaire Tycon

Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS)

↑Leader of this portion of this CIS deployment was Admiral Trench

## Location

The battle took place on Teratus. The terrain consisted of hilly desert. There was a Republic base and 5 bunkers protecting it. Large bridges shortened gaps between hills. The CIS had a adjective base of operations which was used in the attack. this base had the closest proximity to Bunker Five.

Bunker 5 could be argued as a massacre, The CIS prioritized this bunker over any other bunker due to the amount of troopers stationed at this bunker. An onslaught of droids were dropped along with a barrage of explosives enough to kill roughly +30 troopers. With 5 waves of explosive artillery there were over 300 confirmed KIAs and 40 MIAs.

The siege of bunker 5 could be argued as a colossal failure however within this failure trooper morale was at an all time high. With each trooper believing they died for a cause.

Troopers which participated in this battle often came home to struggle with the effects of clone PTSD and the feeling of worthlessness as their best efforts at bunker 5 felt underwhelming.

Bunker 5 has a memorial which you can now visit aboard the Valkyrie Venator as well as 212th bunks. 212th, 41st and 327th are often seen saluting this old memorial as a way to pay respect to their fallen comrades.
