Battle of Koros Major

The Battle of Koros Major was one of the first direct major Republic military offensives against the Krath. The last of the seven worlds of the Empress Teta system to resist the military coup instigated by Aleema and Satal Keto, Koros Major held off the aggressive actions of the Krath long enough for a combined Republic and Jedi task force to come to its aid. Nevertheless, even with the intervention of Jedi and Republic forces, the Krath were able to drive the joint task force from the system and lay siege to Koros Major. With the Republic and Jedi forced to retreat, Koros Major soon fell to the combined strength of the Krath armies. The Battle of Koros Major was often seen as one of several events that precipitated the Krath Holy Crusade, which was a part of the larger war against the rise of the Sith.
