The **Battle above Botajef** also known as the **Battle of Botajef Shipyards** was a major battle between the Galactic Alliance and The New Sith Empire during the Great Sith/Jedi War. In 23ABY, sometime after their victory on Essien, the Galactic Alliance would launch an assault on the Planet Botajef and its shipyards. The Newly formed Fleet led by the Defiance commanded by Jedi Knight Alec Patterson and his Padawan Peter Farris would quickly engage with the Imperial Defensive Fleet. Using Alec's plan, Peter would then split the fleet and lured the Imperial fleet away from the Planet and shipyards and soon both Squadrons of the Fleet would surround and encircle the Defensive Fleet. Using the bombers would begin to bombard the Fleet and using the fighters and interceptors would quickly wipe out all their Fighter squadrons and soon Most of the Fleet would be decimated. With the fall of the Imperial Fleet, the Shipyards would fall to the Alliance.

## **The Battle**

After their victory at Essien, the Galactic Alliance would launch an assault on the planet Botajef and its shipyards. A Galactic Alliance Fleet led by Jedi Knight Alec Patterson and his Padawan Peter Farris would soon exit hyperspace and under Alec's orders, the 2 would split their fleet and Peter's would launch an assault on the Imperial Fleet as Rebel and Imperial Fighters clashed and engaged in brutal dogfight. Peter's fleet would soon begin to lure the Imperial Defense Fleet away from the Planet as Alec's would soon begin to slowly encircle and surround the Imperial Fleet. On Alec's Orders, both Fleets would open fire on the Imperial Fleet and soon Rebel Fighter and interceptors began to engage in brutal dogfights. Using the dogfights as distractions, Rebel Bomber squadrons would soon begin their bombing runs on the Imperial Fleet and targeting their engines and hyperdrives, many ships would soon be decimated and very few Imperial Ships would survive and would quickly flee.

## **Aftermath**

In the aftermath of the Battle, The Alliance would take control over the shipyards and soon begin to construct New Starships, fighters and bombers. Later near the end of the war, new Alliance Fleets would be constructed for the final assault.
