Battle at Primus Goluud

The Battle at Primus Goluud was waged high above the star Primus Goluud during the Great Hyperspace War in 5000 BBY, between Empress Teta's forces and the Sith Empire of Dark Lord of the Sith Naga Sadow. During the earlier Battle of Koros Major, Sith commander Gav Daragon was confronted by his sister, Jori Daragon, over the death of their acquaintance Aarrba the Hutt. Overcome by emotion, Gav left and traveled to the Primus Goluud system, where Sadow was sequestered in his Sith Meditation Sphere creating Force illusions to aid the Sith war effort. Daragon, wanting to end the violence of the war, fired on the Meditation Sphere, damaging it. However, Sadow requested Daragon to go to the damaged sphere to face him man-to-man, an offer Daragon accepted—only to find he had been tricked and Sadow had trapped him there. Daragon frantically transmitted vital strategic information to Teta's forces from the sphere, hoping to aid in a Galactic Republic victory in the war; the Republic fleet quickly arrived. However, Sadow's forces reappeared in the system soon afterward, led by Sadow's flagship, the Corsair. Laser fire erupted between the two sides, although Sadow had a trick up his sleeve; Sadow used a secret weapon to trigger Primus Goluud's solar flares, destroying the sphere and killing Daragon, though not before the Koros forces were able to escape.
