Battle of Nag Ubdur

Months after the Battle of Endor, the Battle of Nag Ubdur took place when New Republic forces attempted to liberate the Imperial-held world of Nag Ubdur. The Imperial forces in the Ubdur system were cut off from the rest of the Empire, and thus would fight with an increased desperation. The Imperials were initially able to inflict heavy casualties on the Republic forces, including a bloody ambush at Govneh Ridge, but eventually would be forced to retreat to defensive entrenchments ten kilometers away from the Ubdurian merchant city of Binjai-Tin. In the process, they razed the city and massacred its inhabitants. During the campaign, the Imperials were desperate enough to use their starfighters in suicide attacks against New Republic positions.
