The Battle of Bakura was the culmination of tensions during the Ssi-ruuvi invasions, where the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire formed an unlikely truce to defend the planet Bakura from an alien invasion from the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium during the Galactic Civil War. Having defeated the Ssi-ruuvi threat, the Imperials under Governor Wilek Nereus turned on his Alliance compatriots; destroying several starships and effectively ending the truce. However, Imperial attempts to re-consolidate control over the Bakura system were thwarted by the Bakuran resistance and the defection of the Imperial commander Pter Thanas.
Following Nereus' death, the Imperial garrison on Bakura surrendered and were shipped to a neutral location under the peace terms. The Bakuran government joined the New Republic—the successor government to the Alliance. In response to the potential threat of the Ssi-ruuk, the New Republic dispatched a taskforce into the Ssi-ruuk Star Cluster to deter further incursions.
