Battle of Jakku
Canon Linked from 628 articles
The Battle of Jakku was the decisive last stand of the Galactic Empire against the New Republic on the surface and above of the desert world of Jakku as the Galactic Civil War drew to a final conclusion after a year of prolonged fighting following the Battle of Endor. During the waning months of the conflict, Counselor Gallius Rax assumed control of the Imperial Military and concentrated much of its remaining forces into the remote Western Reaches of the Inner Rim where the Empire would make its last standoff against the New Republic.
Unknown to his own soldiers, Rax plotted to destroy the Empire in order to fulfill his obligations to the late Emperor Sheev Palpatine. However, he also intended to retreat into the Unknown Regions where he could forge a new Empire with those whom he regarded as the worthy few, such as Commandant Brendol Hux. When the Republic's forces attacked the Empire on Jakku, Rax attempted to destroy the entire planet along with both rival governments. However, his efforts were thwarted by Grand Admiral Rae Sloane, who killed Rax during the battle.
While the fighting on Jakku would continue in the months that followed Rax's death, the battle was a decisive victory for the New Republic, whereupon the Galactic Empire collapsed. In the aftermath, Grand Vizier Mas Amedda and Chancellor Mon Mothma signed the Galactic Concordance on Chandrila, officially marking the end of the Galactic Civil War. Following the end of the rebellion, an Imperial remnant was formed from the remaining Imperial forces on Jakku and fought against the New Republic.
