The Battle of Bilbringi, was the final battle of the Thrawn campaign in 9 ABY between the forces under Grand Admiral Thrawn and the combined forces of the New Republic military and the Smugglers' Alliance. It was the second engagement at Bilbringi fought between the two sides during the Galactic Civil War. The battle was fought at the Imperial shipyards for the sole reason that both the New Republic and Smuggler's Alliance desired to capture a crystal gravfield trap (CGT), a device that would allow the New Republic to uncover the location of cloaked objects and also uncloak the asteroids that Thrawn had set in orbit over Coruscant during the Coruscant siege.
A consummate strategist, Grand Admiral Thrawn accurately predicted the New Republic assault fleet would target Bilbringi, while a concurrent New Republic attack on the Imperial Ubiqtorate base on Tangrene would be a feint.
