Battle for Poln Major

The battle for Poln Major was a small scale ground battle that took place at the same time when Senior Captain Thrawn and Warlord Nuso Esva waged their own, larger scale battle in the same starsystem. The skirmish was part of Esva's plan to lure Thrawn into a trap and destroy the Chiss's military career in the Galactic Empire by murdering Governor Bidor Ferrouz of Candoras sector and putting the blame on the Rebel Alliance. The plan failed as the Emperor's Hand, Mara Jade chose to leave the Governor alive and the Hand of Judgment defeated Nuso Esva's ground forces during the three attacks they performed against the renegade stormtroopers. The skirmish ended when Jade secured the Governor's wife and daughter, the Troukree—who had allied themselves with the Hand of Judgment—defeated the last troops threatening them and then abducted the stormtroopers.
