The Battle of Ilum, also known as Operation Dark Ice, was a conflict in the early years of the Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. It initially began as a battle between the Empire and the Republic on the remote planet of Ilum for control of the planet's Adegan crystals. However, Darth Malgus seized the initiative, declared himself Emperor, and called on his fellow Sith to join his "New Empire." In response, both the Republic and the Sith Empire temporarily set aside the battle with one another to confront this new threat.

Upon slaying Malgus' lieutenant, Darth Serevin, the combined forces attacked Malgus' mobile space station and destroyed his armies, before defeating Malgus himself in his throne room.
