Attack on the Hutt Cartel listening post

The Attack on the Hutt Cartel listening post was a space battle engaged by the reconstituted Sith Empire to destroy a Republic listening post, that was built within Hutt Space near Nar Shaddaa with the Cartels permission to intercept dispatches from nearby Imperial operations. To maintain their neutrality, the Hutt Cartel shared the schematics of the station with the Empire, resulting in the Sith dispatching a smalla fleet of Terminus-class destroyers and starfighters to destroy it. The station was defended by four defensive satellite emplacements and a small Republic fleet consisting of four Thranta-class corvettes so Sith Command called for reinforcements, requesting any Sith forces in the areas. With these new fighters, and the elite Empire's Fury squadron, the Empire succeeded in accomplishing the mission and crippled both the Republic fleet and listening post.
