Prelude[]
Map showingThrawn's assaults againstFilve and other planets in the region during his campaign to takeUkio.
The assault onFilve was used as a feint to draw New Republic forces away fromOrd Pardron, which in turn left the planetUkio vulnerable.Grand AdmiralThrawn's forces attacked the planet but theMillennium Falcon andRogue Squadron were present in the system.Leia Organa Solo was on adiplomatic mission to Filve in order to reassure theFilvians, but theMillennium Falcon didn't manage to reach the planet.
The Battle[]
TheMillennium Falcon and Rogue Squadron tried to flee, butJoruus C'baoth, coordinating theBattle at Ukio, sensed Leia Organa Solo's presence and sentCaptainBrandei's entire fleet to capture her. The Rogues and theFalcon were eventually able to escape safely through the use of theCracken Twist.
Aftermath[]
Once again, C'baoth's intervention disturbed the Grand Admiral's battle plan and left much more time for the Filvians to organize their defense, making Thrawn andPellaeon furious against theJedi.
