Battle of Odessen

The Battle of Odessen occurred around 3630 BBY when Emperor Arcann of the Eternal Empire, having learned the location of the Alliance base on the planet Odessen from SCORPIO, who took over his Eternal Throne, led the detachment of the Eternal Fleet still under his control to destroy the Alliance. SCORPIO, who was manipulating her enemies to destroy each other, informed the Alliance about the imminent threat, giving them enough time to face the Eternal Fleet in the Gravestone. Lana Beniko determined that the only way to ensure safety of the Alliance was to annihilate Arcann's Eternal Flagship and along with Senya Tirall accompanied the Alliance Commander in the infiltration of the flagship. Senya separated from the others to find Vaylin, while Lana and the Commander made their way to confront Arcann on the bridge. Lana then was informed by Theron Shan that the rest of the Eternal Fleet had turned on Arcann as well, targeting the Arcann's flagship to eliminate both him and the Commander in one fell swoop, which Lana recognized as SCORPIO's true plan from the start. Reaching the bridge, Beniko stayed behind to deal with a squad of Knights of Zakuul, leaving the Commander to confront Arcann alone. The Commander defeated Arcann and crushed him under a pile of rubble, and as the flagship was coming apart, Beniko and her team commandeered a Zakuulan shuttle while the Commander narrowly escaped in a Zakuulan starfighter. On their way back to the Gravestone, Senya contacted them and revealed that she was alive and so was Arcann, whom she was taking away in the hopes of redeeming, before she escaped into hyperspace aboard Arcann's personal shuttle. With little time to worry about Senya, Theron Shan fired the omnicannon on the Eternal Flagship, creating a massive explosion that wiped out the present portion of the Eternal Fleet. The Battle of Odessen had become the rallying point the Alliance needed for all the forces seeking to oppose the Eternal Empire, swelling their ranks and giving them the capability to repel future invasions
