Battle of Blacktar Cyst

A battle was fought on Blacktar Cyst between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire by 3 ABY. Both the Alliance's 61st Mobile Infantry and the Empire's 204th Imperial Fighter Wing took part in the fighting, where the 61st soldier Pol Andrissus received scarring injuries that disfigured his face and gave him a stutter. First Sergeant Hazram Namir started a pair of arguments with Captain Micha Evon and the soldier Brand respectively on Blacktar Cyst.

During his visit to the Alliance base on the planet Hoth in 3 ABY, Evon and his associates were told by General Philap Bygar that the 61st did not deserve to be deployed to Blacktar Cyst. The New Republic Intelligence agent Caern Adan regarded the 204th's actions at Blacktar Cyst as among the main reasons he believed the fighter wing had to be stopped. On the planet Troithe, a member of the 61st recounted the fighting on Blacktar Cyst in front of Yrica Quell, an ex-member of the 204th. Members of the 204th later recalled Blacktar Cyst over a fire at Troithe's Taa Complex.
