Battle of Metalorn (Imperial Period)

A battle took place between the Galactic Empire, formerly the Galactic Republic, and Separatist holdouts on the planet Metalorn in 19 BBY after the Imperial victory on the world of Diado. At Metalorn, the forces of the Separatist holdouts were defeated by the Imperial 12th Sector Army, under the command of Admiral Adar Tallon and General Jan Dodonna.

The battle was part of the Sy Myrthian Insurrection, an Imperial attempt to drive the remnants of the Condeferate military out of the area around the planet Sy Myrth and region known as the Kreetan Narrows after the holdouts' defeat at the hands of the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. The Imperial victory at Metalorn was followed by another during a siege of Sy Myrth.
