The Battle of Cadinth was a battle fought in 6 ABY between the New Republic and the Galactic Empire. A Republic task force, returning from the galactic frontier, had decided to take on supplies at the planet of Cadinth in the Allied Tion sector of the Outer Rim Territories, but as the process of sending shuttles up to the orbiting cruisers was initiated, the Republic landing pads fell under attack from pirates. The raids were successfully repelled, but shortly thereafter the Galactic Empire decided to attack with a substantial force, largely made up of attack droids and walkers. The Empire moved against Republic Observation Post W-16, and were able to inflict significant damage there before the Republic could even begin to retaliate.
