The Battle of Gilatter VIII resulted from a trap laid by the Confederation Fleet under their new commander, Turr Phennir. Following the rout of the Blockade of Corellia by Bothan and Commenorian forces, and the subsequent decisions made by Adumar, Bespin, and Fondor to join the movement, it was clear that the military forces of the Confederation had to be brought under centralized control.
The Confederation spread false intelligence suggesting that at a secret meeting in the Gilatter system, the Supreme Commander of the Confederation military would be chosen. Jacen Solo, leader of the Galactic Alliance Guard, headed the mission with Galactic Alliance forces under Admiral Cha Niathal.
At the same time, Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker, his wife Mara Jade Skywalker, his sister Leia Organa Solo, and Leia's husband Han fought against the Sith Lady Lumiya and her accomplice, Alema Rar, aboard the Gilatter VIII resort satellite.
